Awal Resources Limited announced that the first two drill holes completed at the Charger Target as part of its ongoing Odienn drill program have successfully intersected visible gold ("VG") in extensions to previously reported intervals of high- grade gold-copper mineralization. The two step-back drill holes (OEDD-44 and OEDD-45) targeted mineralization underlying the 32m @ 3.0 grams per tonne ("g/t") Au /96 gram-meter ("gm") intercept reported in RC drill hole OERC-132. and are interpreted to define a down-dip extension to the OERC-132 mineralization and a potential new parallel mineralized structure.

Observing VG in these holes is very encouraging and confirms both the depth potential and high-grade fluid flow of the Charger mineralized system, discovery of a potential new parallel mineralized structures opens a significant upside opportunity for the Charger Target with multiple parallel lodes. Multiple points of VG were logged over a 10-meter interval in OEDD-45 between 90 to 100m downhole confirming mineralisation beneath drillhole OERC-132. Further, the VG encountered in OEDD-44 confirms gold mineralization in a second structure located approximately 80m behind and parallel to the discovery structure at Charger.

These holes are part of an ongoing 2,500m drill program at Odienn. A new geologic model led to drilling two optimally oriented holes at Charger with hole OERC-132 returning a 96 gram-meter gold intercept, this phase of drilling was targeted an IP chargeability anomaly and mapped gossan with artisanal workings. The drill holes successfully intersected polymetallic sulfide mineralization within an intrusive host, and the new model has opened the Charger Target to contain multiple parallel lodes with an interlinking structural framework within a hybrid intrusive/structural mineralized system.

The step-back diamond drilling reported in this release targeted down dip mineralization from OERC-132 with a potential new parallel mineralized system.
