en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australian mining company Aurum Resources Ltd has discovered multiple thick gold zones during drilling at the BDT2 deposit of its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. These results come from 28 diamond drill holes, totaling 9,905.85 meters, as part of the project's 100,000-meter drilling program aimed at increasing resources and geological confidence.
The latest assays show that drill hole DSDD0440 intersected 26 meters grading 1.48 g/t gold from a depth of 175 meters, including 4 meters at 3.82 g/t; DSDD0437 intersected 40.6 meters grading 1.06 g/t from 299.4 meters, including 6 meters at 2.77 g/t; and DSDD0426A intersected 23 meters grading 1.32 g/t from 376 meters, including 3 meters at 5.33 g/t. In the upper portion of DSDD0440, a 2-meter intersection grading a high 12.82 g/t was encountered at 50 meters, including 1 meter at 25.33 g/t.
Aurum's Managing Director, Dr. Caigen Wang, stated: "These results once again demonstrate our drilling team's ability to grow the mineral resource at Boundiali at a low cost. The deep drill holes confirm that the gold mineralization system remains open at depth, and most new holes have intersected multiple thick gold mineralized zones." He added that the group's total gold resource currently stands at 4.2 million ounces, with cash holdings of US$61 million. The company plans to submit the Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study in May 2026 and is progressing towards a Definitive Feasibility Study by the end of 2026.
The company plans to continue its 100,000-meter drilling program across multiple permits at Boundiali in 2026 to expand the resources of the thick gold zones, with a resource update expected in the third quarter and the delivery of the Pre-Feasibility Study in May. Additionally, a 30,000-meter diamond drilling program is planned for the 1.16-million-ounce Napié Gold Project.
