Aurumin Limited (ASX: AUN) ('Aurumin' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce it has entered into a binding Heads of Agreement (HoA) to acquire the highly prospective Birrigrin Mining Centre (tenement M57/352) from Westar Resources Limited (ASX:WSR), increasing Aurumin's Sandstone Gold Operations footprint.

M57/352 contains the historical high-grade Birrigrin Mining Centre and is located within the Gum Creek Greenstone sequence, approximately 70km north of Aurumin's Central Sandstone Project. The tenement has 39 mapped shafts dating to the early 1900s with recorded production grades up to 196g/t Au. These are largely untested at depth by drilling.

Further data collation of other previous activity is ongoing. Little modern exploration has occurred on the tenement with existing surface geochemistry thought to be largely ineffective to date. A 2020 aeromagnetic survey and recent mapping have provided new insight into the geology of the area and multiple untested targets exist. Additionally, recent prospecting on the tenement has successfully unearthed numerous gold nuggets requiring follow-up work.
