The 60 holes totalled 10,649.85m and included infill, step-out and extensional drilling: 28 holes at BMT1, 11 at BMT2 and 21 at BMT3. Aurum holds an 80% interest in the BM tenement.
Reported highlights included 29m at 2.08 g/t gold from 167m at BMT1, including 20.24m at 2.82 g/t gold; 7.46m at 1.34 g/t gold from 84m at BMT2, including 2.46m at 3.40 g/t gold; and 5.85m at 8.77 g/t gold from 335.15m at BMT3, including 3.85m at 13.02 g/t gold.
Aurum said the drilling was designed to extend known mineralisation, convert Inferred Resources to Indicated at BMT1 and BMT3, and provide sufficient drill density to support a maiden Inferred Resource at BMT2. The company said results and data from holes completed by 30 September 2026 will be assessed for the next Boundiali MRE, targeted for early Q4 2026.
The company reported that mineralisation at BM remains open along strike and at depth, and said it is planning follow-up drilling to test mineralisation identified outside the current resource. Reported intercepts are downhole lengths; Aurum estimates true widths at about 60% to 85% of reported downhole lengths.
