Aurum secures enviro certificates for Côte d'Ivoire gold project
The Côte d’Ivoire Ministry of Environment and Ecological Transition has issued three environmental approval certificates for ASX-listed Aurum Resources' Boundiali gold project, paving the way for the company to secure approval for the mining licences it needs to develop the project.
“The granting of all three certificates is a transformational milestone for Boundiali. It is the result of 12 months of comprehensive environmental and social work across more than 572 km² and demonstrates the strong support we have on the ground from the
Ivorian government, regulators and host communities.
"With environmental approval now secured, we have removed a key regulatory hurdle on our pathway from a 3.22-million-ounce mineral resource to a developer and ultimately a gold producer. Boundiali continues to advance – our preliminary feasibility study is nearing completion, we have 16 of our own diamond rigs drilling day and night to grow the resource and we are well funded with A$61-million in cash to deliver the definitive feasibility study late in 2026," says Aurum MD Dr Caigen Wang.
Boundiali is Aurum's flagship project and comprises seven neighbouring exploration tenements. It is located within the same greenstone belt as Resolute Mining’s Syama gold mine, Perseus Mining’s Sissingué gold mine and Montage Gold’s Koné project.
