Aurum hits high-grade gold intercepts at Boundiali Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire
Aurum Resources reported encouraging high-grade gold results from its ongoing 100,000m infill drilling program at the 2.41Moz Boundiali Gold Project1 in Côte d’Ivoire.
The drilling is designed to grow and increase confidence in Mineral Resources at Boundiali’s BMT3 deposit and has successfully confirmed multiple high-grade gold intercepts.
Project Growth & Development:
- Mineralisation remains open: Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, indicating significant potential for resource growth.
- Drilling fleet expanded: Two new rigs have been added, expanding Aurum’s fleet to 12. This expansion will accelerate the program, on track to achieve 130,000m of drilling at Boundiali and Napié in CY2025.
- Major Resource updates pending: Major MRE updates for Boundiali and Napié are scheduled for Q1 CY2026, aimed at growing the Company’s current 3.28Moz resource base.
- Boundiali PFS underway: Boundiali Project Pre-Feasibility Study results, due in Q1 CY2026.
- Well-funded for growth: Aurum maintains a strong balance sheet with ~$43M cash3 to fund its exploration and development programs.
Aurum’s Managing Director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “We have again hit shallow high-grade gold intercepts at BMT3 with 3.60 m @ 13.88 g/t Au (MBDD299) at Boundiali. This high-grade gold intercept is sitting outside of the current MRE and is located ~100m north of 3.10m @ 70.78 g/t Au from 112.90m in MBDD2914. Drilling is ongoing and we are awaiting assays which will be used for the planned MRE update in Q1 CY2026.
Our unique advantage is our owned and operated fleet of 12 diamond drill rigs, which allows us to aggressively and cost- effectively test these major gold systems, and we continue to drill with two rigs at Napié in parallel with our aggressive program at Boundiali. We have 12 diamond drill rigs active at Boundiali on multiple deposits, as we focus on delivering an increase in quantity and confidence in our Mineral Resources. As we close out CY2025 we have a strong cash balance of $43M, a clear development pathway with the Boundiali PFS underway, and resource growth from major updates at both gold projects pending. This places Aurum in an excellent position to continue to deliver substantial shareholder value in 2026.”
