Aurum Resources Quarterly Report for the period ending

HIGHLIGHTS


Boundiali Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire

  • Boundiali Mineral Resource increased to 3Moz gold with Indicated Resource up 49% to 1.37Moz.
  • Boundiali Total Mineral Resources increase 26% to 3.03M ounces at 1.0 g/t Au using cut-off grades (COG) of 0.4 g/t Au above 300m depth and 1.5 g/t Au below 300m depth including:
    • Indicated Resources totalling 40.8Mt at 1.0 g/t Au for 1.37Moz
    • Inferred Resources totalling 58.8Mt at 0.9 g/t Au for 1.66Moz.
  • Higher grade component within the Boundiali MRE consists of 1.61Moz at 1.7 g/t Au (at 1.0 g/t COG).
  • Aurum has grown Mineral Resources at Boundiali from zero to 3.03Moz gold in approximately 26 months.
  • Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth across all deposits and prospects.
  • CY2026 drilling program (100,000m) is underway; next MRE update is planned for Q3 CY2026.
  • High-grade drilling extended deposit depth and strike at BDT3 and BDT1 and depth at BST1; results included:
    • BDT3: 12m @ 7.52 g/t Au from 394m incl. 3m @ 18.51 g/t Au (DSDD0343)
      9m @ 8.15 g/t Au from 207m inc. 2m @ 35.83 g/t Au (DSDD0361)
      9m @ 8.00 g/t Au from 223m inc. 1m @ 70.37 g/t Au (DSDD0355)
    • BST1: 10m @ 2.51 g/t Au from 170m inc. 5m @ 4.74 g/t Au (BSDD0036)
      29m @ 1.00 g/t Au from 444m inc. 1m @ 18.14 g/t Au (BSDD0053)
      8m @ 3.38 g/t Au from 279m inc. 1m @ 22.80 g/t Au (BSDD0052).
  • Previous metallurgical testwork demonstrated high overall gold recoveries of 95-99% at a reasonably coarse grind; further testwork is near completion.
  • Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) is expected by May 2026.

 

Napié Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire

  • Napié Total Mineral Resource increases 34% (+290koz) to 1.16Moz at 1.2 g/t Au at 0.3 g/t Au cut-off above 300m depth and 1.0 g/t Au cut-off below 300m depth across the Tchaga and Gogbala deposits, including:
    • Maiden Indicated Resource totalling 8.9Mt at 1.2 g/t Au for 0.35Moz gold
    • Inferred Resource totalling 21.2Mt at 1.2 g/t Au for 0.82Moz gold.
  • Only 13% of the 30km Napié Shear has been systematically drilled; strong potential for further resource growth.
  • Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth at both Tchaga and Gogbala.
  • 30,000m diamond drilling program at Napié is planned for CY2026 to grow the Napié gold resources further.
  • Preliminary metallurgical testwork at Tchaga demonstrates gold recoveries averaging 94.7% for primary mineralisation and 94.3% for oxide mineralisation, supporting the project’s economic potential.
