Aurum Resources Limited (ASX: $AUE) has announced high-grade gold intercepts and increased drilling capacity at its Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, West Africa. The company completed scout diamond drilling on five targets within two tenements, with ongoing drilling and strong newsflow expected as results are received. The company recently purchased a third diamond drill rig to increase drilling capacity from 2,600m per month to approximately 4,000m per month from late April 2024. Aurum has a strong cash balance of $3.9M as of 29 Feb 2024, with a further $3.3M expected following shareholder approval from the recent $7.0m capital raising, allowing Aurum to accelerate the Boundiali resource definition.
We are very pleased to report high-grade gold intercepts including 4m @ 22.35 g/t Au from 226m in DSDD0004, as well as multiple intersections of shallow and wide gold mineralisation from our inaugural scout drilling campaign in the two exploration tenements comprising the Boundiali Gold Project. While drilling is continuing and more assay results are pending, we are confident our aggressive diamond drilling program will firm up more targets for subsequent gold resource definition drilling through CY2024.
