Aurum Hits 11.46m at 6.67 g/t Gold at Boundiali BM Target 1

Aurum Resources Limited (ASX:AUE) (Aurum) is pleased to report wide high-grade gold intercepts from second round exploration diamond drilling at BM Target 1 on the BM Tenement, part of its 1037km2 Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa.


Highlights

  • Exploration diamond drilling (five holes for 914.5m) from second diamond program at BM Target 1 on the Boundiali BM tenement returns shallow, wide high-grade gold hits1 including:
    • 11.46m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 162.54m incl. 1.46m @ 45.04 g/t Au (MBDD049)
    • 45m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 78m incl. 8m @ 1.18 g/t Au from 78m & 25m @ 1.15 g/t Au from 98m (MBDD045)
    • 10m @ 2.84 g/t Au from 120m incl. 8m @ 3.40 g/t Au (MBDD043)
    • 6.31m @ 2.73 g/t Au from 164.69m incl. 4.31m @ 3.40 g/t Au (MBDD039)
  • Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and down dip at BM Target 1
  • Aurum recently secured 51% project interest2 in the BM tenement and is working towards 80% project interest through a US$2.5M cumulative exploration spend commitment
  • Diamond drilling continues at both Boundiali BD and BM tenements; assay results pending
  • Aurum has six self-owned diamond rigs at Boundiali Gold Project with up to ~10,000m per month drilling capacity and is on target to complete 45,000m in CY2024
  • Inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for Boundiali Gold Project targeted for late CY2024
  • Aurum is well-funded (~$20M) for continued aggressive exploration.

Aurum’s Managing Director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “We're delighted to report shallow, wide high-grade gold from our second round of drilling at BM Target 1 including 11.46m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 162.54m in MBD049, which is the best result to date on the BM tenement. Prior to this round of drilling, our geologists spent time reviewing previous drilling and mapping the prospects, which include some large artisanal pits, and we have been rewarded with these results.

With six rigs on site, we expect to achieve ~10,000m drilling per month, systematically exploring the full potential of the Boundiali gold project. We're well-funded with ~$20 million cash at bank, allowing us to accelerate drilling and build on these encouraging results. We're targeting an inaugural JORC resource for Boundiali by late 2024.”

BM Target 1 - Latest Drill Results

Aurum reports results for five DD holes for 914.5m drilled at BM Target 1 on the BM Tenement, part of the second phase of drilling on the BM Tenement through which Aurum earned 51% project interest3 in the BM Tenement (ASX Announcement 9 September 2024). Best results for these holes4 include:

  • 11.46m @ 6.67 g/t Au from 162.54m incl. 1.46m @ 45.04 g/t Au (MBDD049)
  • 45m @ 0.93 g/t Au from 78m incl. 8m @ 1.18 g/t Au from 78m & 25m @ 1.15 g/t Au from 98m (MBDD0045)
  • 10m @ 2.84 g/t Au from 120m incl. 8m @ 3.40 g/t Au (MBDD043)
  • 6.31m @ 2.73 g/t Au from 164.69m incl. 4.31m @ 3.40 g/t Au (MBDD039).

These new results are in addition to diamond holes previously drilled by Aurum at BM Target 1 and reported on 22 January 2024 and 1 March 2024 which included the following significant results:

  • 16m @ 1.24 g/t Au from 117m incl. 6m @ 2.44 g/t Au (MBDD0010)
  • 7.39m @ 1.94 g/t Au from 139.34m incl. 5.35m @ 2.53 g/t Au (MBDD017)
  • 16.3m @ 1.02 g/t Au from 86.7m incl. 8m @ 1.71 g/t Au (MBDD019)
  • 16.64m @ 1.45 g/t Au from 56.26m incl. 10.40m @ 2.11 g/t Au (MBDD007)
  • 5m @ 4.73 g/t Au from 53.5m incl. 1.10m @ 20.35 g/t Au (MBDD004).

Aurum’s geologists used information from previous drilling and mapped the prospects, which include some large artisanal pits, to design the second round of drilling at BM Target 1. True widths for these shallow wide high-grade gold intercepts at BM Target 1 are estimated at about 70% - 80% of reported downhole lengths.

Details of drill collar location and assay results for the new drilling on BM Target 1 are in Table 1 and Table 2 respectively. Plans showing Boundiali Gold Project location including assay results are presented in (Figure 1 to Figure 3). A cross section showing the latest drill results is presented in Figure 4.

Gold mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth on all prospects, with drilling ongoing and Aurum planning further work to follow up these initial results.

Next steps

Aurum will continue its high-tempo gold exploration drilling at the Boundiali Gold Project. Considering the recent high-grade intercepts reported in this release at BM Target 1, Aurum is planning follow-up drilling of around 1,500m a month to further define the extent of mineralisation. Exploration drilling on the early-stage BM tenement will continue to test for potential new discoveries.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
