- Pre-feasibility work begins at Boundiali site
- Drilling programs progressing across key targets
Aurum Resources (ASX:AUE) has delivered an encouraging update for the June quarter, reflecting meaningful progress across its gold exploration and development efforts in Côte d'Ivoire. With activity ramping up at the Boundiali and Napié Gold Projects, the company is pushing forward on multiple fronts to expand its gold footprint.
The Boundiali Gold Project remains central to Aurum’s strategy, with ongoing drilling campaigns yielding encouraging results across several zones. Recent work at the BDT1 deposit has contributed to further expansion of the mineralisation envelope. Simultaneously, additional intercepts at BDT3 and the BM tenement continue to build on the existing potential, supporting resource growth in advance of an upcoming Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) update, expected in the September quarter.
To support long-term development, Aurum has commenced a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) for Boundiali, which includes detailed environmental and social impact assessments. Public awareness initiatives are also underway as part of a broader effort to prepare the site for future operational readiness. These steps mark a key phase in Aurum’s plan to evolve Boundiali into a large-scale open-pit gold project.
Parallel to Boundiali, activity at the Napié Gold Project is accelerating. A significant drilling campaign, spanning across both known and untested targets, is being undertaken with the objective of expanding the current resource base. The program is focused on enhancing geological confidence and extending mineralised zones within the extensive Napié shear corridor. An updated MRE for Napié is also anticipated before year-end.
In terms of corporate development, Aurum successfully secured new funding through a private placement earlier in the quarter. This has reinforced the company’s financial position and will support its exploration and development priorities across both assets. Proceeds from asset sales have further boosted available capital, ensuring continuity in field activities and ongoing technical studies.
While Aurum Resources does not currently form part of the ASX100 companies, its consistent pace of exploration and development positions it as a company to watch. With two key MRE updates expected this year and a pre-feasibility study now underway, the remainder of 2025 is shaping up to be an active period for the company as it advances its dual-project strategy in West Africa.
