Aurum Resources has reported its quarterly activities and cash flow for the period ending 31 December 2025. Highlights include continued exceptional high-grade drilling results from the company's 2.41Moz Boundiali Gold Project in Cote d'Ivoire, with the resource growing through infill drilling. Key results include 0.80m @ 350 g/t Au, 5.10m @ 43.13 g/t Au, and 10.15m @ 6.05 g/t Au. Drilling also returned encouraging new intercepts from the Tchaga Deposit at the 0.87Moz Napie Gold Project, including 5.00m @ 10.09 g/t Au and 10.80m @ 4.52 g/t Au. Aurum has expanded its drilling fleet to 12 rigs at Boundiali and 2 rigs at Napie, completing over 126,000m of drilling in 2025. Major resource updates for both projects are scheduled for Q1 2026, along with the delivery of a pre-feasibility study for the Boundiali Project. Aurum plans a 100,000m drilling program at Boundiali and 30,000m at Napie in 2026 to further grow resources. The company maintains a strong cash balance of $40.2 million following the $23 million sale of Montage Gold shares.

Aurum is committed to an aggressive, cost-effective exploration program in 2026, including 100,000m of diamond drilling at Boundiali to increase the size and confidence of current resources, advance known prospects, and target new prospects. The company also plans 30,000m of diamond drilling at Napie to expand the existing 0.87Moz resource. Aurum is working towards completing a pre-feasibility study for the Boundiali Gold Project in Q1 2026.
