About Awale Resources Ltd.
Awale is a diligent and systematic mineral exploration company focused on discovering large high-grade gold and copper-gold deposits. Exploration activities are currently under way in the underexplored regions of Ivory Coast, where the company is exploring the Odienne copper-gold project, covering 2,346 square kilometres (km) across seven permits -- five granted and two applications. This includes 797 square km in two permits held under the Awale-Newmont joint venture (OJV). Awale manages all exploration activities over the OJV, with financing provided by Newmont Joint Ventures Ltd.
Awale has discovered four gold, gold-copper and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum mineralized systems within the OJV, and has recently commenced exploration on its 100-per-cent-owned properties.
The Odienne project is underexplored and has multiple pipeline prospects with similar geochemical signatures to IOCG (iron oxide, copper and gold) and intrusive related mineral systems with substantial upside potential. The company benefits from a skilled and well-seasoned technical team that allows it to continue exploring in a pro-mining jurisdiction that offers significant potential for district-scale discoveries.
We seek Safe Harbor.
