Company Overview

Aurum Resources Ltd (ASX: AUE) is an ASX-listed gold exploration and development company advancing the Boundiali and Napié Gold Projects in Côte d’Ivoire, West Africa. The Company’s combined Mineral Resources total 4.38Moz gold, comprising 3.22Moz at Boundiali and 1.16Moz at Napié.

Boundiali is within the same greenstone belt as the large Syama (11.5Moz) and Sissingué (1.4Moz) gold mines to the north, Tongon (5.0Moz) to the northeast and Montage Gold’s 6.0Moz Koné project to the south.

Aurum is undertaking a 130,000m drilling program across Boundiali and Napié in 2026. At Boundiali, ongoing drilling is focused on converting Inferred Resources to the Indicated category and extending mineralisation beyond the current Mineral Resource. A major Boundiali Mineral Resource update is planned for Q3 CY2026 to support the Definitive Feasibility Study and updated Ore Reserve.

In June 2026, Aurum delivered the Boundiali Pre-Feasibility Study and declared a maiden Probable Ore Reserve of 42.1Mt at 0.9 g/t Au for 1.21Moz gold. Aurum has commenced a Definitive Feasibility Study and is targeting a Final Investment Decision in late Q4 CY2026 and first gold production in H1 CY2028.

The Napié Gold Project was acquired through Aurum’s takeover of Mako Gold Limited. Aurum holds a 90% interest in Napié, which is located in north-central Côte d’Ivoire in the same belt as the Abujar Gold Mine. Napié has a JORC 2012 Mineral Resource Estimate of 1.16Moz gold, comprising 30.1Mt at 1.2 g/t Au, including a maiden Indicated Resource of 0.35Moz gold.

Aurum also holds 100% of the Korhogo Project in Côte d’Ivoire, an early-stage manganese discovery.

African-focused gold producer Perseus Mining Limited (ASX/TSX: PRU) holds a 9.9% interest in Aurum. Perseus operates the Sissingué Gold Mine, located approximately 60km north of Aurum’s flagship Boundiali Gold Project, with its Bagoé mining lease adjoining Aurum’s BM exploration permit, highlighting potential for regional synergies.
