Orezone Intercepts Further High-Grade Mineralization at Bomboré Including 11.33 g/t Gold Over 11.00m and 10.28 g/t Gold Over 5.00m
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) (the 'Company' or 'Orezone') is pleased to provide additional drill results from its ongoing multi-year exploration campaign at its flagship Bomboré Gold Mine. These latest results are from multiple targets identified along the broader 14km long reserve defined Bomboré gold system, which remains open for further expansion.

10.28g/t Au over 5.00m (BBC7132)
6.79g/t Au over 8.00m and 2.22g/t Au over 14.00m (BBC7141)
7.40g/t Au over 6.70m (BBD1124)
6.61g/t Au over 4.15m (BBD1341)
2.96g/t Au over 10.00m (BBC7158)
1.84g/t Au over 15.70m (BBD1346)
1.53g/t Au over 17.00m (BBC7148)
1.45g/t Au over 14.10m (BBD1344) 1.23g/t Au over 9.65m (BBD1329)
Patrick Downey, President and CEO stated, 'These latest drill results further underscore the significant exploration upside at Bomboré and clearly illustrate that the broader system remains open to depth, along strike and outside of the currently delineated mineralized trends. At P17, drilling was successful in tracing higher-grade sub-zone mineralization a further 300m down plunge, while wide spaced step-out drilling at P16 and Siga have extended mineralization a respective 600m and 550m along strike. As we ramp up our exploration efforts at Bomboré, we continue to re-evaluate and update the project's existing exploration framework. The latest results also provide clear evidence that the hanging wall and footwall of the broader 14km long reserve defined system are prospective for additional near-surface discoveries, which was not previously recognized.
While Bomboré currently hosts a stated 5 million ounce global resource, which is the basis for the ongoing production expansion to 220,000 to 250,000 ounces per annum, the results of the current exploration program continue to provide support for the Company's long-term targeted resource base of 7 to 10 million ounces.'
P17 Trend: Higher-Grade Sub-Zones
Drilling at P17 was successful in further illustrating the down plunge continuity of the higher-grade sub-zones, the highlight of which was an intercept of 7.40g/t Au over 6.70m (BBD1124), which marks a 300m down plunge extension from the previously reported 11.52g/t Au over 10.60m (BBD1081, Figure 3). Other notable sub-zone intercepts from this recent round of drilling include 5.22g/t Au over 4.00m (BBD1346), 20.14g/t Au over 2.00m (BBD1341) and 15.61g/t Au over 1.00m (BBD1335).
While the Company continues to define the structural setting of the P17 Trend, and further develop a predictive model for future sub-zone targeting, a key takeaway from the recent drilling was a better understanding of the controls of the higher-grade mineralization which comprise these sub-zones. It is now recognized that the higher-grades are associated with a later-stage quartz veining event, within which multiple occurrences of visible gold were observed for the first time (Figure 1). This marks an important development in the Company's understanding of the Bomboré system, which to date has been focused on a low grade, bulk tonnage open pit model. While still early-stage, the Company continues to evaluate the sub-zones along the P17 Trend, and other localized higher-grade areas along the broader 14km system, as future potential sources of higher-grade underground feed, beneath the open pits.

Near Surface Strike Extensions
In addition to extending the Bomboré mineral system to depth, and defining higher-grade sub-zones within, further delineating near-surface strike extensions to multiple resource areas continues to be another important area of investigation. A highlight of such recent targeting was at P16, where a series of step-out holes successfully identified mineralization an additional 600m to the north (Figure 2), as supported by intercepts of 0.92g/t Au over 14.35m (BBD1348), 0.71g/t Au over 9.00m (BBD1349), 0.68g/t Au over 17.00m (BBD1338) and 1.27g/t Au over 5.00m (BBC7180). These initial step-out results support the interpretation that P16 is a sub-parallel trend to the P17 Trend, which significantly expands the exploration model and potential within this area of the project.
Future targeting of the P16 strike extension will be centered on backfill drilling, with the goal of delineating open pittable near-surface mineralization, as well as to further investigate the potential for higher-grade sub-zones, as is observed within the P16 resource area.
P16 Trend: selected high-grade sub-zone intercepts (previously reported): 10.63g/t Au over 14.0m (BBD0448)
16.50g/t Au over 5.0m (BBD0448)
9.03g/t Au over 12.0m (BBC3241)
6.69g/t Au over 15.5m (BBD0443)
5.91g/t Au over 15.0m (BBD0447)
7.82g/t Au over 9.0m (BBD0213 )
) 58.91g/t Au over 3.0m (BBD0768)
At Siga, initial testing of the southern strike extension yielded encouraging results, with mineralization intercepted approximately 550m to the south of the current mineral resource. This area of the project has not been previously explored with results of the initial scout drilling returning 5.93g/t Au over 0.85m and 6.35g/t Au over 1.00m (BBD1340). Follow-up drilling will comprise a series of wide spaced backfill fences to further delineate this broad southern extension.
Additionally, significant potential remains to extend resources to the north of the existing open pit designs in the North Zone. Localized 50-100m step-outs along the broader North Zone strike extension have demonstrated promising continuity, with initial results of 2.22g/t Au over 14.00m and 6.79g/t Au over 8.00m (BBC7141) and 2.21g/t Au over 7.00m (BBC7201). Further drilling along this northern strike extension, which has seen limited testing to date, is planned for upcoming campaigns.
Expanding Exploration Model
In addition to testing the extent of known mineralization, the Company continues to challenge the broader exploration model at Bomboré. The previously established exploration framework was centered on gold mineralization being confined to the Bomboré Shear Zone, with limited prospects within the hanging wall and footwall of the broader system. However, more recent targeted drilling, and local surface excavations outside of the mining lease, provide evidence to the contrary. Initial testing within the immediate hanging wall to the Siga Zone has led to the discovery of the HK Zone (Figure 2), which is marked by intercepts of 11.33g/t Au over 11.00m (BBC6960), 10.28g/t Au over 5.00m (BBC7132), 1.35g/t Au over 9.00m (BBC6976), and 1.46g/t Au over 6.00m (BBC7120).
With the prospects of identifying additional high-grade centers of mineralization outside of the Bomboré Shear Zone, the Company has recently commenced a near-mine and regional air core drill program, comprising a series of wide spaced drill fences within the mining lease and surrounding exploration tenements.

QA/QC
The mineralized intervals are based on a lower cut-off grade of 0.28g/t in the Oxide+Upper Transition zone, and 0.45g/t Au in the Lower Transition+Hard Rock zone. The half-core drilling samples were cut using a diamond saw by Orezone employees. The samples were prepared by BIGS Global Burkina s.a.r.l. ('BIGS Global') and then split by Orezone to 1 kg using Rotary Sample Dividers ('RSDs'). A 1kg aliquot was analyzed for leachable gold at BIGS Global in Ouagadougou, by bottle-roll cyanidation using a LeachWellTM catalyst. The leach residues from all samples with a leach grade greater than or equal to 0.25g/t Au were prepared by BIGS Global and then split by Orezone to 50g using RSDs.

Basecamp Research Announces Breakthrough Discovery of Over One Million New Species, Yielding Enormous New Database Purpose-Built for Generative Foundation Models in Biology
Head to Head Comparison 10X Tree of Life Basecamp Research_Cameroon Basecamp Research_CostaRica Uncharted Diversity Kmer Umap DNA Basecamp Research_Malta Company's multi-year biodiscovery programme, driven by strategic economic partnerships across 26 countries, has resulted in BaseDataTM the largest and fastest growing database of new biological protein sequences - 9.8 billion - ever built New species data gives scientists new potential therapeutic solutions to areas including antimicrobial resistance, gene editing, and environmental sustainability Scientific preprint demonstrates how BaseData breaks through biology's data wall and now exceeds the size, growth and diversity of public datasets that serve as the foundations for AI applications in the life sciences industry LONDON and CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 11, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Basecamp Research, an AI company dedicated to using nature to solve the most pressing challenges in the life sciences, today announced the discovery of over 1 million new species as part of BaseDataTM, the world's largest biological protein sequence database, and the first to be purpose-built to power the next era of generative biology. 'The rise of generative biology – using AI foundation models to design, generate, and annotate proteins, pathways and therapeutics – creates unprecedented demand for large, diverse biological sequence databases,' said Glen Gowers, Ph.D., CEO and Co-Founder of Basecamp Research. 'The million plus new species we've identified to date gives us an unrivaled understanding of how life on Earth has evolved over billions of years. We believe it will help the life sciences sector overcome today's critical data bottleneck and build a truly generative biology ecosystem with applications across nearly every area of human and planetary health.' Today, research relies heavily on public, open access biological sequence databases. Designed originally as academic collaboration tools, these databases are accessed over 100 million times per day and are the source of over 50% of all life science patents. This usage has grown by 10x in the last decade and continues to accelerate thanks in large part to the increasing use of data-hungry AI models in biopharma research. However, compared to all life on Earth, these databases are incomplete, riddled with redundancies, and highly-biased – 70% of all sequence data comes from just 10 species. Furthermore, the information in these databases is growing slowly, and companies using these databases for commercial purposes face increasing scrutiny on various legal fronts. This lack of growth and diversity holds back model performance and is a fundamental problem that slows research advancements in the life sciences: the data wall. Basecamp Research has broken through this data wall by pioneering an economic partnership-based model that incentivises the collection of samples across the planet's most extreme and biodiverse environments, working with 125+ communities in 26 countries. In a milestone disclosure, the company is unveiling the results of its biodiscovery initiative — BaseData has identified 9.8 billion new protein sequences. Once redundant sequences are removed, BaseData is currently over 10x bigger than all public databases combined. It continues to grow rapidly, offering a fundamentally new understanding of life on Earth. 'Biological foundation models are the key to continued progress in the life sciences, but their growth is slowing and performance is suffering,' said Oliver Vince, Ph.D., Co-Founder of Basecamp Research. 'It's this data wall that discourages life science teams in building and using huge biological foundation models. At Basecamp, we've demonstrated a new, scalable economic framework for expanding our knowledge of life on Earth and we show it is possible to overcome the data wall that's limiting progress for others in bioAI. Training our own foundation models on this data is enabling collaborations across the life sciences sector to help solve pressing challenges in drug discovery.' Basecamp Research scientists have uncovered more than one million new microbial species to date in some of the planet's most remote and extreme environments, expanding the view of the tree of life by over 10 times. The previously hidden biological insights in this data, combined with foundational AI models, will help shape everything from environmental sustainability and repair to therapeutics development. Examples of such newly discovered species include: On a World War II shipwreck, a new species of Burkholderia, a type of bacteria known for its ability to remove heavy metals from the environment. This could help improve pollution control and deepen our understanding of how bacteria resist antibiotics. In acidic hot springs near an active volcano, a new member of the Sulfolobaceae family that thrives in searing temperatures. Its specialized proteins, stress-response systems and stability near boiling point could help develop new ways to deliver medicine or preserve biological materials under harsh conditions. In Antarctic soil, a new species of Candidatus Eremiobacterota, a bacterium that survives by drawing nourishment from the air, generating its own water using hydrogen as an energy source — a finding that could inform novel gas-based drug delivery systems or therapeutic approaches. Basecamp Research is sharing further details in a pre-print paper and plans to offer early access to its unique data to life sciences researchers who express interest via its website to help them further their research. About Basecamp ResearchBasecamp Research is solving the most pressing challenges in the life sciences by exploring Beyond Known BiologyTM. We build foundational AI models on top of the world's largest, ethically-sourced database of biological information to give AI the most complete understanding of biology ever. This allows us to design more complex biological systems with performance improving dramatically as AI sees more diversity and context. Basecamp Research collaborates with biopharma companies and academic research institutions to design novel protein sequences and biological systems that can transform therapeutic research and development.
