Perth, Western Australia, May 28, 2024 – Aurumin Limited (ASX: AUN), an ASX-listed mineral exploration Company, is thrilled to disclose significant findings from its recent RC drilling program at the Plum Pudding deposit, part of the company’s fully owned Central Sandstone Project, situated 520 km northeast of Perth.
The exploration program, designed to expand the knowledge base of Aurumin's Sandstone Operations, has successfully returned high-grade gold intercepts. Notably, the drilling at Plum Pudding yielded a remarkable 18 meters at 25.80 g/t Au from a depth of 30 meters, including an exceptionally high-grade section of 2 meters at 215.20 g/t Au from 43 meters.
Aurumin's Managing Director, Brad Valiukas, commented:
“These are great results from a first pass exploration drilling programme. We achieved significant results at four out of seven targets; these were based on a combination of previous geochemical results and structural interpretation.
“Additionally we got a bonanza result with extensional drilling at Plum Pudding, with a top assay of 344g/t and an unexpected void, likely old workings. Plum Pudding is now a priority target for additional work so we can expand our, currently modest, 14koz Resource.
“We are focussed on the Central Sandstone Project and generating the critical mass required for future production, these results are a great step towards adding the required additional open pit material to support an operational restart.”
