[{"type":"text","content":"Awalé Confirms BBM's Continuity with 2.0 g/t Gold Equivalent over 72 Metres and Looks Toward Underground PotentialHighlightsBBM keeps delivering: Thick and consistent gold-copper mineralization highlighted by 2.0 g/t AuEq. over 72m (OEDD-157, twin hole to OEDD-74 for metallurgy studies).Multiple strong intervals, including 2.0 g/t AuEq. over 32m (including 7.4 g/t AuEq. over 2m) and 1.1 g/t AuEq. over 27m, reinforcing continuity.MRE on track: BBM is emerging as the largest gold-copper discovery in West Africa with strengthening confidence ahead of a Mineral Resource Estimate targeted for Q2 2026.Scale continues to build with mineralization now defined over ~1.2 km of strike and to depths exceeding 300m and now targeting 600m vertical depth.Underground potential emerging at BBM, with high-grade core open down-plunge and 7,000m step-down assays pending.Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 23, 2026) - Awalé Resources Limited (TSXV: ARIC) (OTCQX: AWLRF) (FSE: 2F60) (\"Awalé\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report new drilling results from the first 12 holes of its resource and expansion drilling program at the BBM gold-copper discovery within the Odienné Project (\"Odienné\" or the \"Project\") in Côte d'Ivoire. The latest assays confirm strong grade continuity and thickness at BBM, continuing to build confidence as Awalé advances toward its initial Mineral Resource Estimate (\"MRE\") targeted for Q2 2026. Importantly, Awalé has also completed an 11-hole, 7,000-metre step-down program targeting the down-plunge extension of BBM's high-grade core, designed to test underground potential to approximately 600 metres vertical depth. Assays for this deeper program are pending (see long section and plan map in Figures 2 and 3).Andrew Chubb, President and CEO of Awalé Resources stated, \"BBM continues to deliver with consistent grade and width and is showing the growth potential we expect from this significant gold-copper discovery. The robust nature of mineralization gives increasing confidence in our upcoming mineral resource estimate. In parallel with this shallow infill program, we have systematically drill-tested the down-plunge extension of the high-grade shoot that forms the core of the BBM mineralization. This deeper drilling has the potential to see BBM emerge as the largest go...
