• Exceptional high-grade gold results from ongoing 100,000m infill drilling program at Boundiali Gold Project
• Mineralization remains open along strike and at depth, indicating significant potential for resource growth
• Two major Resource updates (Boundiali and Napié) scheduled for early Q1 CY2026

Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE) is pleased to announce exceptional high-grade gold results from its ongoing 100,000m infill drilling program at the 2.41Moz Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. The drilling was designed to upgrade the Mineral Resource confidence at Boundiali's BMT3 and BDT2 deposits and has successfully confirmed high-grade, continuous gold mineralization. Highlights include 1m @ 152.35 g/t Au from 96m, 21m @ 4.06 g/t Au from 128m, and 10.50m @ 2.39 g/t Au from 43.50m. Gold mineralization at both deposits remains open along strike and at depth, indicating significant potential for resource growth. Aurum has expanded its owned drilling fleet to 12 rigs, which will accelerate the program, targeting more than 130,000m of drilling in CY2025. Two major Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) updates (Boundiali and Napié) are scheduled for early Q1 CY2026, aimed at growing the Company's current 3.28Moz resource base. A Boundiali Project Pre-Feasibility Study is also underway, due in Q1 CY2026. Aurum maintains a strong balance sheet with $40M cash to fully fund its exploration and development programs.

Aurum is committed to a large-scale exploration program at Boundiali, including 100,000m of diamond drilling in CY2025 to increase the size and confidence of current resources, advance known prospects, and target new discoveries. The Company plans to deliver a major MRE update for Boundiali early in Q1 CY2026 and complete an open pit Pre-Feasibility Study for the project in Q1 CY2026. Additionally, a 30,000m diamond drilling program is continuing at the Napié Gold Project, with an updated MRE for Napié expected early Q1 CY2026.
