Marketing Announcement

Awalé Included in 2025 TSX Venture 50 List of Top Performing Companies

Toronto, Ontario, February 19, 202 5 -- Awalé Resources Limited (TSXV : ARIC ) (“Awalé” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been recognized as one of the top 50 performing

companies on the TSX Venture Exchange (“TSXV”).

TSX Venture 50 is an annual ranking of the top -performing companies over the last year on the TSX

Venture Exchange, a world -leading capital formation platform for early -stage growth firms. The

companies are ranked based on three equally -weighted criteria of one -year share price appreciation,

market capitalization increase, and Canadian consolidated trading value.

“Awalé is hono ured to be recognized as a top -performing company in the 2025 TSX Venture 50,” said

Andrew Chubb, CEO of Awalé. “2024 was a transformational year, with drilling at the Odienné Project in

Côte d’Ivoire confirming a rapidly expanding high -grade gold system and d elivering some of the most

significant gold intercepts in Africa in recent years, including 57m @ 26 g/t Au in hole OEDD-83 and 59m

@ 14.7 g/t Au in hole OEDD-100 at the Charger target. The continued expansion of mineralized trends and

new discoveries further highlight the district-scale potential of Odienné, reinforcing Awalé’s position as a

leader in exploration. With strong momentum, a clear vision, deep technical expertise, and a strong

balance sheet, we remain committed to driving value and long -term success for our shareholders and

stakeholders.”

About Awalé Resources

Awalé is a diligent and systematic mineral exploration company focused on discovering large high -grade

gold and copper-gold deposits. Exploration activities are currently underway in the underexplored regions

of Côte d'Ivoire, where the Company is focused on the Odienné Copper -Gold Project (“Odienné” or the

“Project”), covering 2,489 km2 across seven permits. This includes 796 km2 in two permits held under the

Awalé-Newmont Joint Venture (“OJV”). Awalé manages all exploration activities over the OJV, with

funding provided by Newmont Joint Ventures Limited (“Newmont”).

Awalé has discovered four gold, gold-copper, and gold-copper-silver-molybdenum discoveries within the

OJV and has recently commenced exploration on its 100% -owned properties following an $11.5 million

capital raise in April 2024.

The Project is underexplored and has multiple pipeline prospects with similar geochemical signatures to

Iron Oxide Copper Gold ( IOCG) 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.
