Written by Customer Service on . Posted in Public Companies.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE | ASX: ORE | OTCQX: ORZCF) (“Orezone” or “Company”) provides clarification on its recent trading halt.

The trading halt was requested pending the release of a further announcement from the Company in response to the trading halt of the securities of West African Resources Limited on August 28, 2025 which caused market speculation.

The Company confirms that it has not received a similar request from the Government of Burkina Faso. The Company has been in contact with the Government in this regard and will meet in person over the weekend to confirm that the Government does not intend to purchase an equity interest in the Bomboré mine. Following this meeting with the Government, the Company will issue a press release.
