**[Oriole Resources](https://www.directorstalkinterviews.com/company/oriole-resources-plc/orr.l)**(
LON:ORR) CEO Martin Rosser explains how the Wapouzé limestone project has quickly
moved from discovery to drilling, adding an industrial minerals angle to a company
best known for gold exploration. With the first hole already intersecting marble
units, BCM backing the programme through a drill-for-equity arrangement, and a possible
cement-sector partner model in view, Wapouzé could become a useful non-core value
driver alongside Mbe, Bibemi and Senala.
