ASX-listed Aurum Resources has announced further encouraging high-grade gold results from its infill and step-back drilling, part of its 100,000m drilling program in CY2025 at the 2.41 moz Boundiali Gold Project1 in Côte d'Ivoire.
The new 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.
Encouraging new drill intercepts include:
- BMT3 Deposit:
- 6.89m @ 7.22 g/t Au from 233.79m inc. 5m @ 9.67 g/t Au (MBDD332)
- 17.30m @ 2.64 g/t Au from 295.70m inc. 9m @ 4.75 g/t Au (MBDD340)
- 5m @ 5.76 g/t Au from 206m inc. 1.14m @ 23.30 g/t Au (MBDD329)
- 3.15m @ 6.92 g/t Au from 82m inc. 1.43m @ 14.89 g/t Au (MBDD321)
- 12m @ 1.68 g/t Au from 293m inc. 1m @ 11.12 g/t Au (MBDD339).
Project Growth & Development:
- Mineralisation remains open: Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth, indicating significant potential for resource growth.
- Strong Catalyst Pipeline: Updated Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) for Boundiali (2.41Moz) and Napié (0.87Moz), along with the Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS), are all scheduled for release in Q1 CY2026.
- Aggressive 2026 Growth: Planning and commenced 100,000m of diamond drilling at Boundiali for 2026, with two additional MRE updates targeted for mid and late year. Another 30,000m diamond drilling planned for Napié.
- Well-Funded: Robust unaudited cash balance of ~$40.1M as of 31 December 2025 to fund 2026 development and exploration.
This batch of results is the final that will be included in our update for Boundiali, which remains on track for delivery in Q1.
With $40M in the bank and our owned fleet of 12 diamond drill rigs, we are moving at a pace few peers can match. This drilling is directly feeding into the Boundiali PFS due this quarter, as we establish a clear pathway toward a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) in late 2026."
