Aurum Resources hits thick gold intersections at BDT2 in Cote d’Ivoire

• Drilling confirms gold mineralisation outside of current MRE boundaries
• 16 diamond drill rigs to drive resource growth at Boundiali and Napié
• Boundiali PFS expected this month and DFS targeted for late
• CY2026
• 4.2Moz of  gold in Aurum Group assets

Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE) has hit further thick gold intercepts as it fast-tracks development of the 3.03 million ounce Boundiali gold project in Côte d’Ivoire.

Assay results from drilling at the BDT2 deposit are expected to help grow the Boundiali mineral resources and increase geological confidence.

Highlight intercepts from BDT2 include 40.60m at 1.06 grams per tonne (g/t) from 299.40m, including 6.0m at 2.77 g/t; 26m at 1.48 g/t from 175m, including 4.0m at 3.82 g/t; and 23m at 1.32 g/t from 376m including 3.0m at 5.33 g/t.

MD, Dr Caigen Wang, said the latest results again demonstrate the company’s ability to cost-effectively grow mineral resources at Boundiali.

“Most of the 28 holes have been drilled to lift inferred resources to indicated status, while others have been designed to test the limits of known mineralisation,” he said,
“The deeper holes confirm the gold system remains open at depth and most of the new holes have intersected multiple zones of thick gold mineralisation.

“These results demonstrate the scale potential on offer at Boundiali as our drilling targets only the most obvious outcropping anomalies, and we have achieved rapid resource growth to 3.03 million ounces since acquiring the ground.”

All deposits remain open, and at the end of this month Aurum will have 16 diamond drill rigs operating to drive resource growth across the Boundiali deposits, as well as testing potential for blind discoveries.”

The overall Aurum Group gold resources now stand at 4.2 million ounces.

“With $61 million in the bank, we are perfectly positioned to deliver further resource growth, in addition to delivering the Boundiali pre-feasibility study in May 2026, as we drive towards a definitive feasibility study in late 2026.”

AUE is steady at 62.3¢. Mkt cap $250.9M.
