  • 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.”

Yvonne Blaszczyk: Global Gold Rush is On — BRICS Takeaways, US Election Impact

Speaking to the Investing News Network, Yvonne Blaszczyk, president and CEO of BMG Group, laid out her key takeaways from the recent BRICS Summit, saying that although a BRICS currency wasn't announced, the BRICS nations continue to accumulate gold and to strengthen connections amongst themselves.

"The world is going to be very much bipolar, and the global village has changed," she explained. "Right now it's west against east, and everything is turning to the east. So that is a very serious consideration."

Blaszczk noted that while it's tempting to focus on issues close to home, a wider perspective is key.

Top 7 ASX Gold ETFs in 2024

The price of gold set a record high in Australian dollars on October 30 as its momentum carried the Australian dollar gold price to an all-time high of AU$4,253.48 per ounce.

After first crossing the US$2,700 mark last month following a prolonged period of strength for the gold price, it pulled back following news in early November that Donald Trump had won the US presidential election, which sent the US dollar higher and pushed investors away from gold and into bonds.

While gold briefly bounced back following a 25 point interest rate cut at the US Federal Reserve's most recent meeting on November 6 and 7, it fell back towards US$2,600 — and below AU$4,000 — at the beginning of the following week. As for the Reserve Bank of Australia, it decided to once again hold interest rates at 4.35 percent on November 5.

For many investors, gold is a tool for diversification. The precious metal is known for its ability to act as a safe haven and hence operates as a protective option when building a balanced portfolio.
