New Alliance Prospect Delivers a Further 3km of Strike to the Empire Gold Trend Odienné
Project Cote d’Ivoire.
Vancouver, BC, September 22, 2021 - Awalé Resources Limited (“Awalé” or the “Company”) (TSXV: ARIC)
is pleased to announce that a significant new surface gold anomaly has been defined from termitaria
sampling at the Alliance Prospect , Empire Corridor, Odienné Project (Figures 1 and 2) . The Alliance
Prospect extends the known strike extent of the Empire mineralized trend by 3km to >6km.
Highlights:
• New 1km long, >100 part per billion (“ppb”) surface gold (“Au”) anomaly has been defined from
termitaria sampling at the Alliance Prospect, Empire Corridor. Peak gold value returned was
441ppb (Figure 3).
• The 100ppb surface Au anomaly lies within a larger (3km in length), > 15ppb Au anomaly.
Mineralization is open both along strike and to the north.
The Alliance Prospect mirrors the Empire Main discovery in a similar ‘pressure shadow’ structural position
on the opposite side of a late intrusive body (the “Rebel Intrusion”) emplaced along the northern margin
of the Empire structural corridor (Figure 2). Approximately 50% of results have now been returned from
a larger 1,340 sample 400x100m termitaria survey along the E mpire Corridor. Descriptive statistics from
results returned are shown in Table 1.

Company CEO Glen Parsons commented today:
“It is very pleasing to see new gold anomalies continuing to be uncovered through the team’s
focussed and systematic exploration approach at the Odienné project. Our work continues to not
only reveal new gold and gold/copper anomalies, but also confirms the highly prospective nature
of the Odienné project and its camp scale potential in different settings.
The Empire Corridor continues to reveal itself as a significant gold bearing fluid pathway at
Odienné, with significant potential to build ounces to the already robust foundation of the Empire
Main discovery. The Alliance Target lies to the east along the northern boundary of Empire Corridor
and has the same scale and tenor geochemical footprint as the Empire Main discovery. The team
is fast tracking Alliance to a drill ready status.
Furthermore, this new anomalism compliments the exciting 5km long Sceptre copper, gold
anomaly approximately 10km to the NW of the Alliance target where we focus on the IOCG style
Charger mineralization.
We look forward rapidly developing and advancing these targets.”

Quality Control and Assurance
Analytical work for auger/soil and termitaria geochemical samples is being carried out at the independent
Intertek Laboratories Australia Ltd. an ISO 17025 (2017) Certified Laboratory. Samples are stored at the
Company’s field camps and put into sealed bags until collected by Intertek from the C ompany’s secure
Bondoukou or Odienné office and transported by Intertek to their laboratory in Tarkwa, Ghana for
preparation. Samples are logged in the tracking system, weighed, dried and pulverized to better than 85%,
passing a 75-micron screen, this pulp sample is then shipped to Australia where 10-gram split is analysed
by ICP/MS with an Aqua Regia digest. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference material (standards) are
being used to monitor laboratory performance during the analysis.
