Aurum has announced a significant gold discovery at its Boundiali project located in Côte d'Ivoire, encountering high-grade mineralization outside of its existing resource area. Drilling revealed 0.65 meters grading 41.38 grams of gold per tonne, indicating a potential expansion of the 3.22 million ounce (Moz) BST1 resource. This discovery comes ahead of a crucial resource update anticipated for this month, potentially increasing the project's overall gold reserves. The results suggest additional golden "paydirt" beyond the currently defined resource boundaries. Aurum’s exploration success highlights the prospective nature of the Boundiali region for further gold discoveries. Investors are anticipating a positive impact on the company's valuation following the release of the updated resource estimate. The company continues exploration efforts to define the extent of this new high-grade zone.
