Gold exploration activity is increasing in Côte d’Ivoire's Birimian Greenstone Belt.

Aurum Resources reported significant high-grade gold intercepts at its Boundiali project, specifically noting a 367 g/t gold intercept at the BMT3 deposit. The company indicated that new mineralization has been found outside current resource boundaries, suggesting potential for further growth at the site.

Concurrently, Dalaroo Metals has prepared for maiden drilling at its Bondoukou Gold Ridge Project. The company expanded its initial drilling program to 12,000 meters to test priority targets. This activity occurs amid a broader trend of growing mineral exploration investment in Côte d’Ivoire.
