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.
