Aurum Resources has delivered another set of strong gold intercepts from its ongoing drilling at the Napié gold project in Côte d'Ivoire. The results continue to confirm wide, high-grade mineralisation that remains open along strike and at depth. With drilling ramping up and major resource updates planned, Aurum is building momentum in a strengthening gold market.

Aurum Resources has swelled its coffers to $40 million after offloading 2.89m Canadian-listed Montage Gold shares for $23 million, banking a 102% profit on stock it received only months ago. With a pre-feasibility study underway at the company's Boundiali gold project and major resource updates looming across its broader gold portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire, the cashed-up explorer is gearing up for a major drilling and study blitz in 2026

Aurum Resources has delivered more bonanza-grade gold hits, including a stunning 3.1 metres at 70.78 g/t gold from its drilling program at the company's 2.41 million ounce Boundiali project in West Africa. The intercept is part of a broader 5.10m intercept at 43.13g/t gold from just 112.9m that lies outside Aurum's current gold resource estimate for its 16.2 million tonne BMT3 deposit.

Aurum Resources recent diamond drilling has delivered an intercept of 5m assaying 11.07g/t gold from 200m depth among other promising high-grade gold intercepts from its ongoing 100,000m drilling program at the company's 2.41 million ounce Boundiali gold project in West Africa. The infill and extensional campaign is targeting resource expansion and confidence upgrades at the company's BDT2 deposit.

Aurum Resources has delivered an eye-watering 350 grams per tonne gold – more than 11 ounces to the tonne - over a 0.8m drill intersection from its BMT3 target in the northern third of the company's “BM” project area. The area is part of Aurum's Boundiali suite of contiguous or closely-adjacent gold exploration properties in the West African nation of Cote D'Ivoire.

Aurum Resources' infill drilling at its Boundiali BMT3 deposit in West Africa has grown its total Boundiali indicated gold resource by 53% to 0.92Moz gold, with the total project resource remaining at 2.41Moz. The drilling at BMT3 has enabled the conversion of 320,000 ounces of previously “inferred” gold to the higher-confidence “indicated” resource category.

Aurum Resources has nailed stellar gold hits in infill drilling at its Boundiali project in Cote d'Ivoire, including 1 metre assaying a bonanza 152.35g/t gold, in a 12-hole campaign targeting a pre-feasibility study in the first quarter of 2026. Potential exists for significant resource growth as mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth.

Aurum Resources has nailed early diamond hole results at its Tchaga gold deposit in Cote d'Ivoire, signalling strong potential for resource growth at depth for its emerging asset. The first two diamond holes at Tchage, within its smaller 870,000-ounce Napie gold project, have extended known gold mineralisation to 340 metres below surface - nearly tripling the area's previous known depth of mineralisation.

Aurum Resources has acquired a 35 per cent stake in Ivorian company Major Star Plus, in which it can earn up to 95 per cent in three permits covering almost 469 square kilometres near its 2.41-million-ounce Boundiali and 0.87-million-ounce Napié gold projects in Côte d'Ivoire.
