Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE) is pleased to announce the latest gold intercepts from its ongoing 100,000m diamond drilling program at the Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. Key highlights include 1.7m @ 70.35 g/t gold from 276.5m at the BDT2 deposit. The drilling confirms gold mineralisation outside the current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) boundaries, indicating the gold system remains open. Aurum plans to conduct 130,000m of drilling in CY2026 to drive resource growth at Boundiali and Napié. The next MRE update is targeted for the end of Q3 CY2026, with a Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) expected late CY2026. Aurum has 4.4Moz of gold combined group resources, including the flagship 3.22Moz Boundiali Gold Project and the 1.16Moz Napié Gold Project. The company is well-funded for continued exploration success with $61.5M in cash as of 31 March 2026.

Aurum Resources is well-positioned to continue delivering on both resource growth and project studies, with a strong balance sheet and self-owned drill rig fleet. The company is targeting increased resource confidence, further resource growth, and the potential for new discoveries. The development momentum at Boundiali is building, with environmental approval granted in May and Mining Licences expected late Q3 CY2026. The company is targeting DFS delivery by the end of CY2026, with a goal of first gold production in H1 CY2028.
