Full summary
Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE) has announced the latest gold intercepts from its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, achieving a project-best result from BSDD0152 with 28.80m @ 22.92 g/t Au from 204m inc 17.95m @ 36.57 g/t Au. The results come from an ongoing and expanded 150,000m diamond drilling program at the BST1 deposit, which includes infill, step-out, and extensional drilling. The drilling aims to test the limits of known mineralisation, drill unclassified mineralisation, and upgrade Inferred Mineral Resources to Indicated. The company plans to complete 180,000m of drilling in CY2026, with a focus on Boundiali and Napié. The next Boundiali Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update is targeted for early Q4 CY2026, with the Definitive Feasibility Study (DFS) expected late in the year. Aurum Resources has a strong cash balance of A$95 million, positioning it well for ongoing exploration and development.
