• Napié Total Mineral Resource increases 34% (+290koz) to 1.16Moz at 1.2 g/t Au
• Maiden Indicated Resource of 0.35Moz gold declared
• Ongoing 30,000m diamond drilling program targeting depth extensions and untested portions of the Napié Shear

Aurum Resources Limited (ASX: AUE) is pleased to announce a major milestone at its Napié Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, highlighted by the classification of Maiden Indicated Resources of 0.35Moz Au at 1.2 g/t Au. These high-confidence ounces drive the total Napié Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) to 1.16 Moz Au at 1.2 g/t Au, a 34% increase (+290koz) on the previous MRE. On a consolidated basis, Aurum's Group Resource base now stands at 4.2Moz Au across its two Côte d'Ivoire gold projects -- the 3.03Moz Boundiali and 1.16Moz Napié Gold Projects -- with strong growth potential from ongoing 100,000m Boundiali and 30,000m Napié diamond drilling programs. The Napié resource remains open at depth, and Aurum's next phase of drilling will focus on unlocking this depth potential and extending mineralisation along strike. Tchaga and Gogbala together cover just 4.4km of a 30km shear zone, with only 13% of that shear systematically drilled, offering strong potential for further resource growth. Preliminary metallurgical testwork at Tchaga demonstrates excellent gold recoveries, supporting the project's economic potential. Aurum is well-funded with $61M cash to continue growing both Napié and Boundiali.

Aurum's combined group resource base has grown to 4.2Moz Au, including the flagship 3.03Moz Boundiali Gold Project and the updated 1.16Moz Napié Gold Project.

Aurum's 30,000m diamond drilling program at Napié is underway, targeting depth extensions and untested portions of the Napié Shear, with further resource growth expected. The Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study is expected late April/early May 2026.
