Aldoro Resources Limited ( Aldoro , The Company ) ( ASX: ARN ) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the VC11 and East1 targets at the Narndee Igneous Complex (NIC, The Project) . NDD0010 and NDD0011 were drilled at the VC11 target, and NDD0012 was drilled at the East1 target. Visual sulphides and prospective rocks extend the nickel prospectivity of the NIC out to VC11, 7km north northwest of VC1.

About VC11 Results
NDD0010 was drilled to a depth of 225.8m. The hole intersected a thick package of variably mineralised high MgO ultramafics to 139.6m downhole. A zone of disseminated, semi-massive, and breccia nickel-copper sulphide was intersected from 139.6m to 140.2m downhole. The hole then passed back into high MgO ultramafics with disseminated sulphides and troctolites before intersecting a basal contact with metabasalt at 175.34m.
NDD0011 was drilled to a depth of 291.7m. The hole intersected a thick package of high MgO ultramafics to a basal contact at 226m downhole. A zone of disseminated and veined nickel-copper sulphide was intersected from 211.5m to 226m downhole. The basal sequence at NDD0011 is dominated by felsic volcanics as opposed to the mafic volcanics observed in NDD0010.

A set of off hole DHTEM models have been generated from the two holes. This target position will be drilled as soon as possible.
The presence of nickel-copper magmatic sulphides confirms the VC11 area to be highly prospective. Given VC11 is approximately 7km NNE of VC1, this significantly, and objectively expands the prospective footprint for nickel-copper deposits in the NIC.

East1 Visual Results
NDD0010 was drilled to a depth of 354.8m. The hole intersected a package of felsic volcanics and felsic volcaniclastics, grading into felsic volcanics with interleaved mafic volcanics at depth. Significant sulphides were intersected between 211.8m to 214.3m downhole, and 266.8 to 268.7m downhole.
These sulphide horizons could be a reasonable explanation for the East1 target; however, downhole EM will be completed on the hole to confirm the findings. A follow-up hole will be considered if a robust offhole conductor is present at the level of the base metal sulphides intersected between

The sulphide assemblage in order of abundance intersected by all reported drillholes at VC11 appears to be pyrrhotite, pentlandite, chalcopyrite, and pyrite. The sulphide assemblage in order of abundance intersected by all reported drillholes an East1 appears to be pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and pyrite. However, petrographic and geochemical analyses are required to confirm the species, geological setting, and relative abundance. Bulk sulphide abundance definitions are as follows (note these are visual estimates);
-
Disseminated, blebby, breccia, and or veined sulphide - 1% to 20% sulphide
-
Matrix sulphide - 20% to 40% sulphide
-
Semi massive sulphide - 40% to 80% sulphide
-
Massive sulphide - greater than 80% sulphide
VTEM and Aeromagnetic Dataset Extensions
The VTEM extension survey has been approved and is now slated for commencement early in the New Year. The survey is designed to screen the remaining areas of highly prospective stratigraphy and geochemistry results. The proposed extensions are divided into Priority 1 over nickel-copper-

High Power Fixed Loop Electromagnetics (HPFTLEM)
NDD0005, targeting VC3 ended in highly prospective, variably mineralised ultramafic rocks at 654.9m. The VC1 target is getting significantly deeper to the north. Nickel-copper sulphides were intersected at VC11, which appear to be deepening to the south.
These observations indicate the potential for deeper highly conductive bodies in the area between VC1 and VC11, located on the edge of a regional gravity high, with a coincident aeromagnetic high. These types of targets would have been difficult to detect using the VTEM system. The Company has therefore committed to a program of large loop HPFLTEM, which has already commenced.
A deep stratigraphic hole is planned to augment the HPFLTEM program. The hole with target the coincident gravity and aeromagnetic anomaly, directly between the VC3 and VC11 targets. The planned depth for this hole is 650m. Refer to Figure 8 for the hole location.
Forward Plan
The drill rig will has now mobilised back to the VC1 target to target off-hole DHTEM responses generated from recent surveying there. Three off-hole and extension drillholes are planned at VC1.
When the three holes at VC1 are completed, the rig will mobilise back to VC11 to drill the off-hole target between NDD0010 and NDD0011.
After drilling at VC11, the rig will move to the deep stratigraphic hole located between VC3 and VC11.
