Aurum Resources Limited has intersected 0.72 metres at 367.05 grams per tonne (g/t) gold from 485.94 metres at the BMT3 deposit, part of its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. The result, intercepted within a broader 1.76-metre zone grading 150.87 g/t gold, confirms the continuity of high-grade mineralisation at depth.

The results are from 36 diamond drill holes, totalling 9,452 metres, which targeted the BMT1, BMT2, and BMT3 deposits. This latest drilling is part of a 100,000-metre program for 2026, executed by a fleet of 16 company-owned diamond drill rigs. Aurum currently holds a combined group resource of 4.4 million ounces of gold across its Boundiali and Napié projects.

“Our latest results from BM continue to build the case for further resource growth at Boundiali. At BMT3, new holes extend high-grade mineralisation at depth, adding to the strong grades already returned along its 2.3km strike.”

“Boundiali continues to grow in both scale and confidence, and today's results reinforce that trajectory. We look forward to reporting further progress on Boundiali exploration and development through the remainder of 2026.”

— Dr. Caigen Wang, Managing Director

Drilling at BMT1 returned 6.80 metres at 28.76 g/t gold from 120.20 metres, including a 2.80-metre interval at 69.53 g/t gold. At BMT2, which currently contains no defined resource, drilling returned 66.30 metres at 0.61 g/t gold.

The company is incorporating these latest findings into an updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Boundiali, which is targeted for completion by the end of the third quarter of 2026. Following this update, Aurum plans to deliver a Definitive Feasibility Study for the project in late 2026.
