In this interview, Rob chats to Tim Livesey, Director and Group CEO of Oriole Resources. They are an AIM-listed exploration company, operating in Africa and Europe. Focusing on early-stage gold exploration in Cameroon and the more advanced Senala gold project in Senegal.
Tim, who is a geologist by trade, has a wealth of experience in early-stage exploration and development. They talk about the exciting opportunities and scope of potential there is in Cameroon with Oriole acquiring several licenses in the country.
KEY TAKEAWAYS

Oriole has been focusing on new frontiers, primarily in Cameroon. As well as extracting maximum value from their existing Senegal assets.
Cameroon is an area that has not been explored much, despite the geology being well placed for multiple commodities.
Licences are readily available in Cameroon.
The authorities have done a good job of making licensing, financing, and geological data more easily available.
Other mining firms are setting up in Cameroon too and there are plenty of opportunities for everyone.
Oriole operates dynamically and quickly. Their cash flow is currently very good.
In all 4 Cameroon drilling sites, they have identified strong potential for organic gold.
Trenching is also taking place in other areas of Cameroon.
Soon, they will get back multi-element as well as gold results.
Exploration of all of the Senegal sites is also motoring ahead, including some diamond holes.
They are also involved in Egypt and Dibuto.

BEST MOMENTS
‘Cameroon is spectacularly well placed for multiple commodities. ´
‘The Cameroonian government is very supportive.’
