News Articles for Aurumin

Aurumin has acquired two new exploration licence applications next to the company's 881,000-ounce Sandstone gold project. The new ground encloses similar prospective geology and mineralisation controls to those within Aurumin's main project area. With only limited exploration to date at the company's new ground, it offers considerable additional potential to discover previously unknown areas of gold mineralisation.

Aurumin set the drillbit spinning this morning on the first of its four planned diamond drill holes at its Mt Palmer project in Western Australia. It is targeting lithium-bearing pegmatites where it believes the geology is analogous to Wesfarmers' and SQM's Mt Holland lithium deposit, 65km to the south. The design of the diamond drill holes was awarded government funding for half of the costs.

ASX-listed Aurumin has kicked off a diamond drill program at its Mt Palmer project in Western Australia's Goldfields region, where it will target lithium-bearing pegmatites with a focus on its Vickers Find South prospect. The target hosts confirmed pegmatites within a mafic-ultramafic sequence in a geological setting similar to that at the Mt Holland lithium deposit, which is about 65km to the south.

ASX-listed Aurumin has kicked off the first of two phases of development works for its Mt Dimer gold project, where it is planning shallow open pits at its high-grade Lightning and Golden Slipper deposits. Mt Dimer sits about 120km north-east of Southern Cross, at a site where historical high-grade production delivered more than 125,000 gold ounces, including production of 600,000 tonnes at 6.4g/t gold.

Aurumin is primed for another stint on the rig at its Sandstone gold project, 520km north-east of Perth. A 5000m campaign will chase targets from geochemical and structural work at the project and is expected to launch early next month, with management saying the 44 holes of exploratory work will cover nine open-pit targets that all sit within a 3km radius of its processing plant.

Aurum Resources is edging towards exploration on its Ryans Find gold project north-east of Southern Cross after completing a two-day on-site heritage clearance survey alongside the land's traditional owners – the Marlinyu Ghoorlie Native Title Claimant Group. Management says drilling at its deposit will be scheduled once a report from the heritage consultants, Fremantle-based Terra Rosa, has been reviewed.

ASX-listed Aurumin is set to continue its search for lithium at its Mt Palmer project in the Goldfields after being named a successful applicant for the WA Government's Exploration Incentive Scheme. The explorer has executed an agreement with the Department of Mining, Industry Regulation and Safety, through its subsidiary Aurumin Mt Palmer, to receive up to $150,000 in direct drilling and mobilisation costs.

Ultrafine soil sampling results have revealed gold in soil anomalism generating several fresh targets on a recently acquired tenement along a 1.4km zone on the Sandstone Greenstone belt. The site, that sits in Aurumin's Central Sandstone project and near its Two Mile Hill deposit lies about 520km north-east of Perth where the company says the newly generated targets will help inform planning for the next drill program.

ASX-listed explorer Aurumin has entered into a drill for equity agreement with contractor Topdrill ahead of the company's planned campaign at its Central Sandstone project about 520km north-east of Perth. According to the agreement, Aurumin can pay up to 50 per cent of its drilling costs invoiced by Topdrill by issuing ordinary shares from its placement capacity up to a maximum of $1 million.

ASX-listed Aurumin has entered a competitive ballot process to expand its footprint around the company's flagship Sandstone operations with a number of the 15 tenements up for grabs located in the adjacent area. The ballots in the Sandstone area are a result of compulsory partial surrenders required by Section 65 of the Mining Act 1978 and contain applications from several parties including tenements adjacent to the Central Sandstone project and north of Youanmi.

Aurumin has increased its potential gold footprint by entering into a binding heads of agreement with Westar Resources to purchase the historical Birrigrin mining centre, 70km north of its Sandstone operations. The Birrigrin tenements contain 39 mapped shafts dating back to the early 1900s with recorded production grades up to 196 grams per tonne gold, however the site remains largely untested at depth by drilling.

ASX-listed Aurumin is now wielding a gold inventory of 946,000 ounces in WA's Mid West region after tabling resource updates for the company's newly acquired Central Sandstone deposits and incorporating its nearby Johnson Range project into one operation. Notably, the explorer boosted the gold grade of the operation's centrepiece, the Two Mile Hill underground deposit, from 1.1 grams per tonne to 1.6 g/t.

ASX-listed Aurumin has embarked on a mapping and soil sampling campaign across the company's Greater Sandstone gold project in WA's Mid West region as it looks to generate targets for further exploration work. Aurumin's program aims to cover the majority of its tenement package and has kicked off at the explorer's newly acquired ground that was purchased from private outfit Mining Equities for 500,000 Aurumin shares and a one per cent net smelter royalty.

Mineral explorer Aurumin's winning run continues from diamond drilling at its Central Sandstone project 130km west of Leinster in WA as the company aims to extend the mineral resource at the site. The final assay from the program returned a 242.7m intersection going 1.2 grams per tonne gold from 203.1m including an 8.3m at 4.82 g/t gold from 214.2m. The campaign sought to test the northern section of the project's Two Mile Hill deposit.

Aurumin's winning run has continued with impressive results from the third hole of an RC drill campaign at its Central Sandstone gold project in WA including a 352.8m intersection at 1.5 g/t gold from 267.2m. The company says mineralisation continued down the hole with another 145.2m section going 0.5 g/t gold from 620m as the explorer aims to further define its resource at the Two Mile Hill deposit 130km west of Leinster.

Results from recent RC drill work by mineral explorer Aurumin indicate a continuity of gold between two deposits at the company's 784,000-ounce Central Sandstone gold project near Leinster in Western Australia. The RC program included nine holes for 1245m drilled and returned significant assays including 7m going 5.78 g/t gold from 137m downhole and 8m at 4.99 g/t gold from 80m.

Mineral explorer Aurumin has recorded consecutive wide intercepts at its Two Mile Hill deposit from an RC and diamond drilling campaign at the company's Central Sandstone gold project 130km west of Leinster in WA's Goldfields. The second hole assayed at the deposit recorded an impressive 224m intersection going 1.5 grams per tonne gold from 229.6m. The first hole drilled at the site recorded a broad 344m hit going 1.29 g/t gold.

Mineral explorer Aurumin has intersected an impressive 344m at 1.29 grams per tonne gold in its first diamond drill hole at the company's 784,000-ounce Central Sandstone gold project 130km west of Leinster in Western Australia. Highlights within the broad interval include 40.9m at 2 g/t, 21.8m at 2 g/t and 16.1m at 2.9 g/t.

Buoyed by visible gold from its first diamond drill hole at the company's Central Sandstone gold project, Aurumin Ltd has added another tenement to its land holding in WA's East Murchison region. The move will lift the granted acreage at Aurumin's wholly owned, historical Central Sandstone Gold Project to 126 square kilometres.

Mineral explorer Aurumin has intersected visible gold in its first diamond drill hole at the company's 784,000-ounce Central Sandstone gold project 130km west of Leinster in WA. With the RC portion of its program completed, the diamond drilling aims to extend and better define the project's premier underground resource, Two Mile Hill, of 14.2Mt grading 1.1 g/t and containing 500,000 ounces of gold.

Junior explorer Aurumin has intersected multiple pegmatites with indications of lithium after RC drilling at the company's Mt Palmer gold project in Western Australia. Anomalous lithium and pathfinder elements were uncovered in the first-pass drilling, with up to 370 parts per million lithium detected across several samples in Aurumin's 12-hole program.

Mineral explorer Aurumin has kicked off a barrage of diamond drilling after completing the RC portion of its exploration campaign at the company's 784,300-ounce Central Sandstone gold project in WA. Nine holes for 1245m of RC drilling on the project's 86,500-ounce Shillington deposit have been completed in addition to five RC “pre-collars” for the explorer's Two Mile Hill tonalite deposit.

Mineral explorer Aurumin has completed a lithium-focused drilling program into its Mt Palmer gold project in WA, coinciding with the return of positive soil sample results. The 12-hole program drilled 1212m into target B of the Vickers Find South prospect and intersected pegmatites ranging from one to 40m in thickness in 11 of the 12 holes. Assays to reveal the lithium content are currently pending.

Gold-focused Aurumin is gearing up for its inaugural drilling program at the company's recently-acquired Central Sandstone gold project 130km west of Leinster in WA. The campaign will feature a mix of RC and diamond drilling and is expected to start this month following the end of the company's ongoing lithium hunt at its Mt Palmer project, 350km to the south.

Junior explorer Aurumin has just wrapped up the first stage of auger drilling at its recently-acquired Central Sandstone gold project in WA. A vehicle-mounted auger drill rig tested five near-mill targets in addition to a further 29 areas of interest. The 467-hole program aimed to geochemically sample the interface between the covering sediments and bedrock with the company expecting its results in a few weeks.

Aurumin Limited is going after lithium-bearing pegmatites with the drill bit at its Mt Palmer project in WA. The ongoing program will drill up to 2500m of RC holes and is expected to take about one week with assays to be fast tracked. The explorer firmed up its targets with a series of soil samples revealing anomalous geochemistry coinciding with historically intercepted pegmatites.

After completing a second phase of soil sampling, Aurumin Limited is gearing up for a reverse circulation drilling program in search of lithium at its Mt Palmer project in Western Australia. The campaign is set to start next week and will feature up to 1500m of drilling into targets where pegmatites of up to 50m in width have been intercepted in historical exploration.

Having just received the keys to its Sandstone project in Western Australia, gold developer Aurumin Limited is gearing up to begin systematically exploring with an initial round of auger drilling. The vehicle-mounted program, due to kick off next week, is designed to build on five near-mill targets handed over from the previous owner – plus test a further 36 targets generated by the company.

Soil sampling has given Aurumin Limited the belief it could have lithium in its Mt Palmer project that straddles Western Australia's town of Southern Cross. Analysis of elements associated with the battery metal lit up multiple targets, including some coincident with historical pegmatite intercepts of up to 50m that had previously only been tested for gold.

Junior gold explorer Aurumin Limited has taken control of a 784,000 ounce gold resource through the acquisition of the Sandstone gold project from Middle Island Resources near the town of Sandstone in WA. The asset acquisition will add to Aurumin's existing and nearby 65,000-ounce gold mineral resource base at its Johnson Range project in addition to providing a new prospective hunting ground for further discoveries.
