Boundiali Gold Project, Côte d’Ivoire

Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire consists of two highly prospective contiguous granted licences, PR0808 and PR0893, along the Boundiali Greenstone Belt, which hosts Resolute’s Syama gold operation and Tabakoroni deposit in Mali and its southern extension, into Côte d’Ivoire, hosts several high-grade discoveries including Perseus Mining Ltd’s Sissingué gold operation and Bagoé deposits and Montage Gold’s 4.5Moz Koné gold discovery. Aurum has an 80% interest in PR0808 (BD tenement) and is earning into PR0893 (BM tenement), where Aurum currently holds 15% and can earn up to 80% following fulfilment of three phases of exploration (full terms in ASX:AUE 13/11/23).

The Boundiali projects area covers the underexplored southern extension of the Boundiali belt where a highly deformed synclinal greenstone horizon traverses finer grained basin sediments and to the west Tarkwaian clastic rocks lie in contact with a granitic margin. Historic exploration at PR0893 includes 93 AC drill holes and four RC holes. Airborne geophysical surveying, geological mapping and extensive soil sampling has also been performed at PR0893, while PR0808 has had 91 RC holes drilled for 6,229m along with geochemical analysis and modelling.
