Aldoro Resources Limited (“Aldoro” or “Company”) is pleased to update shareholders on the Company’s gold exploration activities across the Penny South and Unaly Hill South Projects.
Work is in progress to contract a rig for a combined aircore (AC) program at Penny South and Unaly Hill South in late July. At Penny South the planned program will target new areas around the tenement not previously tested by Aldoro’s January AC program and April reverse circulation (RC) drilling including: the 700m extension of the Penny West Shear to the southern boundary of the tenement, the northwest continuation trend of the granodiorite-mafic contact delineated by the January AC program and other targets previously identified by the litho-structural interpretation of the project area ( ASX, Penny South Targets Identified, 27 November 2019 ).
A Program of Work (PoW) has recently been lodged for drilling at the Unaly Hill South Project. Interpretation of a recent high-resolution ground magnetic survey at Unaly Hill South has identified two structural target trends associated with anomalous gold-in-saprolite values recorded in historic shallow wide spaced RAB drilling over a strike length of approximately 1.25km. The planned AC program aims to follow up on these results in light of Aldoro’s new geological interpretation of the area.
Penny South
The combined AC program will target new areas around the Penny South tenement not previously tested by Aldoro’s January 2020 AC program and April 2020 RC program. Three target areas have been identified:
-
Southern extension of Penny West Shear and granodiorite
-
Magnetic low feature along Youanmi Shear greenstone-granite contact, possible demagnetised zone similar to Youanmi

Figure 1: Penny South Further AC Targets
Unaly Hill South
The Unaly Hill South Project is located 16km northeast of the Youanmi Gold Mine ( ASX:RXL and VMC ) and sits on the continuation of the major regional Youanmi Shear Zone. The tenement area (E57/1048) straddles an interesting structural juncture between the Youanmi Shear and the Yuinmery Shear. This intersection of two major shears has long been “ considered conceptually favourable of the development of dilation structures for possible gold mineralisation ”[1] but limited gold exploration has been conducted across the tenement since the late 1990’s.
The project covers the southern tip of the Atley Igneous Complex and the northern extension of the Youanmi-Yuinmery Greenstone Belt. The area is overlain by cover and sheet wash, with essentially no outcrop, making the use of techniques such as soil geochemistry difficult.

Figure 2: Unaly Hill South Location Map
Aldoro has recently completed a high-resolution ground magnetic survey over a large portion of the tenement area and compiled a drill hole database of historic drilling and logging, providing lithological information. The majority of the historic drilling was completed during the 1990’s, consisting of shallow, widely spaced (200m x 100m) vertical RAB drilling. Two potential dilational structures or jogs are observed from the magnetic survey and structural interpretation, one of which corresponds to an area of anomalous gold values whilst the second is largely untested.
Aldoro’s work has produced a new geological interpretation of the tenement area and highlights that historic anomalous gold results are largely confined to a northeast trending talc-chlorite schist unit situated between two sheared granodiorite units. The planned AC drilling program aims to test these structural targets looking for the surface expression of small high-grade shoots similar to other deposits along the Youanmi Shear Zone such as Penny West and North.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. • Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. • In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fre assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |

| Drill hole information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth hole length. • If the exclusion of this information is justifed on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
• Historic drilling by previous explorers used best practice for that time. • The use of any data is recommended for indicative purposes only in terms of potential gold mineralisation and for developing exploration targets. |
| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-of grades are usually Material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
• NA |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this efect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
• NA |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any signifcant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
• Image of RTP 1VD presented in the body of text |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
• NA |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
