Aurum hits gold outside BST1 resource ahead of MRE update

• Gold mineralisation found outside BST1 resource
• 150,000m drilling program on track for CY2026
• Boundiali MRE update expected by end of October 2026
• DFS expected in late 2026

Aurum Resources (ASX: AUE) has announced significant gold intercepts from its ongoing 150,000m diamond drilling program at the BST1 deposit in Côte d'Ivoire. The drilling, which includes infill, step-out, and extensional holes, has confirmed the gold mineralisation system remains open along strike and at depth. Notable intercepts include 12.25m at 1.76 g/t Au from 489.9m in hole BSDD0181, which intersected mineralisation outside the current Mineral Resource. These results will be considered for inclusion in the next Boundiali Mineral Resource Estimate, targeted for release at the end of October 2026. Aurum is also progressing with its Definitive Feasibility Study for Boundiali, expected in late 2026, and has initiated a 30,000m drilling program at Napié to expand its gold resource.

Aurum Resources is optimistic about the potential for further resource growth at Boundiali and Napié, with a focus on rapid resource conversion and economic de-risking. The company plans to use its strong balance sheet and company-owned drill fleet to drive multi-rig drilling activity throughout CY2026.
