Aurum reports high-grade gold results from BD and BST deposits at Boundiali  

ASX-listed Aurum Resources reports further gold intercepts from diamond drilling at its 1.59 moz Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire as it continues towards completing 100 000m drilling program at Boundiali in CY2025.

Highlights

• Assay results from exploration diamond drilling at the BD tenement (57 holes for 13,836.80m) and BST tenement (14 holes for 2,499.65m) have returned encouraging gold intercepts including:
  • BDT1
    • DSDD0203
      • 6m @ 30.68 g/t Au from 410.00m inc. 4m @ 45.91 g/t Au (inc. 1m @ 181.20 g/t Au)
    • DSDD0192
      • 2.34m @ 67.21 g/t Au from 189.00m inc. 1.34m @ 117.15 g/t Au
  • BDT2
    • DSDD0240
      • 5m @ 2.46 g/t Au from 148.00m inc. 1m @ 8.88 g/t Au
      • 6m @ 2.53 g/t Au from 214.00m inc. 1m @ 14.16 g/t Au
      • 2m @ 22.86 g/t Au from 297.00m
    • DSDD0218
      • 2m @ 16.67 g/t Au from 29.50m
  • BDT3
    • DSDD0226
      • 1.50m @ 32.51 g/t Au from 155.50m inc. 0.99m @ 48.83 g/t Au
    • DSDD0189
      • 26m @ 0.90 g/t Au from 249.00m inc. 6m @ 2.00 g/t Au
  • BST1
    • BSDD0004
      • 11m @ 3.31 g/t Au from 112m inc. 3m @ 8.66 g/t Au
      • 10m @ 0.66 g/t Au from 133 m inc. 1.95m @ 1.83 g/t Au
    • BSDD0001
      • 3m @ 4.34 g/t Au from 213m inc. 1m @ 12.23 g/t Au
      • 8m @ 2.81 g/t Au from 224m inc. 1m @ 15.97 g/t Au
• These results demonstrate the emerging potential and continued upside of the Boundiali project, with gold mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.
• Eight of Aurum’s self-owned diamond rigs continue to drill at Boundiali with 100,000m targeted in CY2025.
• Two MRE updates planned in CY2025 to grow the maiden 1.59Moz Boundiali Mineral Resource Estimate.
• Aurum has commenced a Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study, due for completion by end of CY2025.
• 30,000m drill programme underway at Napié Gold Project, aiming to grow its existing 0.87Moz MRE.
• Aurum is well-funded with $46.9 m cash and value of Montage shares (unaudited) for continued exploration success.

Aurum’s Managing Director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “It is my pleasure to announce further high-grade gold intercepts at the Boundiali project. This time at BDT1 where our drills hit 6m @ 30.68 g/t Au from 410m inc. 4m @ 45.91 g/t Au inc. 1m @ 181.20 g/t Au. This great result confirms extensions to north plunging high-grade shoots at BDT1 and these remain open. Aurum is on track to complete 100,000m of diamond drilling at Boundiali in 2025. These new drill results from multiple deposits will be incorporated into our first MRE update, which we plan to release imminently, and build upon the current 1.59Moz Boundiali MRE. A second update, planned for late in CY25, will incorporate results from planned drilling at the BD, BM, and BST deposits, as well as numerous untested gold-in-soil anomalies. Aurum's use of its own drill rigs, with our fleet of 10 rigs, provides for cost-effective and accelerated exploration, underpinning our objective of significant resource growth at Boundiali in 2025 and beyond, ultimately contributing to a Pre-Feasibility Study expected by year-end. A 30 000 m diamond drilling program is underway at the Napié project, targeting expansion of the current 0.87 moz MRE, with an updated MRE anticipated by year-end. With a combined 2.5 moz of gold across Boundiali and Napié, and substantial drilling programs now in play for both projects, Aurum is well-positioned for significant resource growth and further value creation in 2025.”
