Oriole Resources paving the way for Cameroon’s first gold mine

Oriole Resources (LON:ORR) is an AIM-quoted gold exploration company which has discovered a potential new gold district in Cameroon, and exploration programmes there have culminated in the signing of earn-in agreements at its Bibemi and Mbe projects. Martin Rosser joined the company as Chief Executive in May and is determined to deliver the value he believes the company has. “The team that I've got to know is a first-class team of very capable professionals. Very dedicated,” says Rosser. “We've got an excellent position in two countries, in particular in Cameroon, where we're leading the way to develop what we hope will be a significant gold mining industry.
