  • Diamond drilling continues at both Boundiali tenements with assays pending for ~60 holes (13,000m), next batch expected end of November
  • Aurum has six self-owned diamond rigs at Boundiali Gold Project with up to ~10,000m drilling capacity per month and will complete more than 45,000m in CY2024
  • Results from metallurgical test work overseen by MACA Interquip Mintrex (MIM) and ALS (Perth) expected by year end
  • Inaugural Mineral Resource Estimate for Boundiali Gold Project targeted for late CY2024
  • Aurum’s takeover of Mako Gold (ASX: MXG)2 progressing well – the merged company will achieve greater scale and market presence, creating a stronger platform for future growth and success in the industry
  • Aurum is well-funded (~$19M cash at bank at 30 Sept) for continued aggressive exploration.

Aurum’s Managing Director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “Our exploration drilling at BM continues to grow the known extent of gold mineralisation, which is now up to 2.5km at BM Target 1. Our expanded drilling program at BM is hitting multiple intercepts downhole including shallow high-grade hits such as 1m @ 35.86 g/t Au from 82m and 4.25m @ 3.75 g/t Au from 120m in MBDD070.

Our six rigs are systematically ramping up production and with our new camp coming online, we expect to see increased operational efficiencies to demonstrate the full potential of the Boundiali gold project. We're well-funded with $19 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.”
