Mineralisation at the project is hosted in a diorite intrusion and remains open in every direction, giving Aurum plenty of room for discovery and further growth as it pushes aggressively towards a planned major resource update in the new year.
Aurum Resources managing director Dr. Caigen Wang said: “We have again hit shallow high-grade gold intercepts with 3.10m at 70.78g/t Au from 112.90m in MBDD291 at Boundiali. This bonanza grade gold intercept is sitting outside of the current MRE and is about 375m south of 4.20m at 80.64g/t Au from 107m including 1.43m at 234.35g/t Au in MBDD214B4.”
Two major mineral resource updates – one for Boundiali and one for Napié – are locked in for early Q1 2026 and are expected to materially grow the company’s current combined 3.28 million ounce gold inventory for both projects.
A pre-feasibility study for Boundiali is also on track within the same time-frame as the two resource updates
The company has recently added two more rigs to bring its fleet complement to twelve and has lifted its 2025 drilling metreage target to well over 130,000m across Boundiali and its Napié project which lies about 100km southeast of the Boundiali tenement block.
In a gold market that will always reward ounces in the ground, Aurum continues to hit the sorts of grades and widths that turn heads.
With about $45 million in cash keeping the drill rods turning, a wide-open gold system that delivers big intercepts and exceptional gold grades and a major resource update only months away, Aurum keeps delivering the sort of news-flow that West African gold stories are made of.
Aurum-watchers are optimistic that the best may still lie ahead are mindful that this is not Aurum Managing Director Caigen Wang’s first rodeo. He was the founder of Tietto Minerals that enjoys rarified air with the very few ASX listed companies that have made gold discoveries in Africa and gone on the build profitable mines.
