  • Aurum drilled 19 diamond holes for 3,531.45m from June 2024 to 17 August 2024 on BM tenement, with assay results pending and expected in early October.
  • Aurum is continuing diamond drilling on the BM tenement targeting an initial JORC resource by late CY2024.
  • Aurum has six self-owned diamond rigs at Boundiali Gold Project with up to 10,000m per month drilling capacity to fulfil 45,000m drilling for CY2024.
  • Initial Mineral Resource Estimate for Boundiali on track for late CY2024
  • Aurum is well-funded (~$20M) for continued aggressive exploration.

Aurum’s Managing Director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “We are pleased to announce that through our careful and geologically-driven planning and execution of diamond drilling programs, in the second phase of our Plusor-Minex JV, we have drilled 8,000m diamond holes to earn 51% project interest, thanks to our JV partner’s strong support and diligent work by our in-country exploration team.

While the scouting drilling results released early this year are very encouraging, we are more excited about pending assay results in early October for new holes drilled in recent months.

With ongoing diamond drilling continues through the rest of this year, we are expecting inaugural JORC resources to be defined on this JV project, together with initial JORC resources from the BD tenement where very impressive drilling results have been intercepted and report.”
