Aurum, Inc ("Aurum") (AURM:OTCBB) is pleased to announce that its 100% subsidiary Aurum Resources Pty Ltd has entered into an Agreement with the shareholders of the Lao Inter Mining Options Ltd ("LIMO") which will result in Aurum acquiring an option to purchase LIMO's 20% interest in Argonaut Resources (Laos) Ltd which is the beneficial owner of the 223 square kilometer (55,105 acres) Century Thrust Tenement ("the Century Tenement") for $1,350,000.

This Agreement in conjunction with the agreement with the Argonaut group of companies (see press release of 25 January 2011) enables Aurum to acquire at its option 71% of the Century Tenement.
