Niobe Sampling Assays Confirm Rubidium & Lithium Extension Beyond Main Pit
-
Assay results report up to 0.93% Rubidium and 0.86% Lithium oxide (Li2O) from the 46 rock chip samples collected at Niobe East, Southeast and Breakaway.
-
Assays confirm Rubidium and Lithium prospectivity beyond Niobe Main Pit.
-
Niobe East has anomalous Rubidium and Lithium values with a strike length of over 400m.
-
The POW for the planned drilling Programme has been approved and negotiations are continuing for the Heritage Survey
Aldoro Resources Limited ( Aldoro , The Company ) ( ASX: ARN ) is pleased to provide assay results from the 46 rock chip samples collected at the Niobe East, Niobe Southeast and Breakaway pegmatites, see Figure 1 for locations. The average Rubidium (Rb) value was 1,892ppm with a range of 34.7 to 9,307ppm, while the average lithium (Li) value was 0.0725% with a range of 0.005 to 0.40%. Caesium (Cs) averaged at 200ppm with a range of 3.1 to 1,934ppm. At Niobe East, anomalous Rb and Li values extend over 400m in strike length, providing justification to the proposed drilling programme into this multilayered pegmatite section. At the Breakaway pegmatites, to the west, anomalous Rb and Li extends up to a strike length of 100m while at Niobe Southeast the few samples collected have some Rb values up to 0.2%.

Figure 2: Rock sample NR0004, greisen-like morphology consisting of micaceous laths and microcline. Laboratory analysis reported 9,307ppm Rb and 0.32%Li and 1,934ppm Cs. Arrows indicate the sample outcrop and rock texture on a fresh face.
The outcrop dispersion of Rb and Li results are generally consistent with those obtained by Pancontinental in the mid 1980’s giving confidence to the historical drilling assays from the same period which were used to define an Exploration Target over the Niobe Main pegmatite (ASX: 27/8/2021). An Exploration Target of approximately 33,000-150 ,000 tonnes at grades ranging 696-1457ppm Rubidium Oxide (Rb2O) over an area bound by 80m by 65m of detailed drilling has been previously defined.
Aldoro chairman, Mr Joshua Letcher, commented that “ the rock chip results show the potential for the area and give confidence for increasing the Exploration Target tonnage”.
Forward Plan
The forward programme involves expanding the Exploration Target area encompassing the mapped pegmatite on the western side of Niobe (Pegmatite No.1), the high interest Rb bearing sections of Niobe East (Pegmatite No,2), the Breakaway pegmatites and Niobe Southeast Pegmatites (Figure 3). The approval of a Programme of Works (POW) was received on the 17[th] of November and negotiations are underway with Wajarri PBC for a Heritage Survey over the area. An RC drill rig is booked and awaiting mobilisation once the Heritage Survey is complete.

Figure 3: The location of the proposed drill collars against the historical holes and mine workings. Note that the majority of the samples from the historical holes were not analysed for the Li suite of elements (in particular Li, Rb & Cs). WAMEX open file reports list 303 holes for 8580m over the area but only 40 (1141m) of these holes were samples and analysed for Li, Rb and Cs.
