Aurum Resources intersects high-grade gold zones at the BMT3 deposit in Côte d'Ivoire
Drilling campaign continues to expand mineralisation along strike and at depth
Company preparing Mineral Resource Estimate updates and a Pre-Feasibility Study
Aurum Resources Ltd (ASX:AUE), listed on the ASX 300, has confirmed new high-grade gold intercepts from its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. The company’s exploration strategy is centred on expanding the project's current mineral resource and advancing development through detailed geological and technical evaluation.
Boundiali forms part of Aurum’s broader West African portfolio, with the BMT3 deposit showing consistent mineralisation across multiple drill holes.
High-Grade Gold Intercepts from Ongoing Campaign
The reported intercepts stem from an extensive diamond drilling program targeting the Boundiali BM tenement. The campaign is designed to expand the existing resource base, and the recent drilling at the BMT3 deposit has returned gold grades deemed significant for exploration advancement.
Multiple zones have been intersected across varying depths, reflecting continued resource extension both laterally and vertically. The results indicate that mineralisation at Boundiali remains open, supporting further exploration and modelling.
Exploration Strategy Targets Broader Project Growth
Aurum’s exploration blueprint for 2025 includes a drill campaign covering the BD, BM, and BST deposits, as well as newly identified targets based on soil geochemistry and geological mapping. The work is expected to increase the size and geological confidence of the current resource base at Boundiali.
In parallel, the company has committed to delivering two Mineral Resource Estimate updates within the year. The first update is scheduled for the end of July, with resource modelling incorporating the latest assay data from the BMT3 zone.
Pre-Feasibility Study and Additional Drilling in Focus
Alongside resource definition efforts, Aurum is progressing a Pre-Feasibility Study for Boundiali. This study will provide insight into the technical and economic aspects of the project and is scheduled for completion by the end of the year.
The company is also advancing exploration at its Napié Gold Project through a separate drilling program. This work is expected to culminate in a revised Mineral Resource Estimate for Napié later this year, further contributing to Aurum’s broader gold inventory.
Funding in Place for Exploration and Resource Expansion
Aurum has bolstered its financial position through a recent capital raise, supporting its ability to execute multiple exploration programs. The current focus remains on delivering geological continuity, expanding resource definitions, and updating technical assessments across Boundiali and Napié.
With multiple high-grade zones intersected and development milestones on track, Aurum Resources is maintaining momentum in its strategy to grow gold resources in West Africa.
