DHTEM surveying indicates the VC1 conductor is strengthening at depth

First drillhole testing the VC3 target underway and intersecting prospective lithology
Aldoro Resources Limited ( Aldoro , The Company ) ( ASX: ARN ) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the VC1 and VC3 targets at the Narndee Igneous Complex (NIC, The Project) . Five holes have been successfully DHTEM surveyed, and systematic pXRF analyses were completed on two holes at the VC1 target. Drillhole NDD0005 has commenced at the VC3 target, with highly prospective ultramafic and mafic intrusive suite rocks dominating the hole profile.

About VC1 and Drill Targeting
NDD0001, NDD0002, NDD0003, NDD0004, and historical hole MNRC0002 were successfully DHTEM surveyed over the past week. The results are very encouraging, with at least two strong off-hole target areas identified for immediate follow-up drill testing. The two strong off-hole target areas are located west and north of NDD0002 and west and north of NDD0004.
Figure two shows the location of the two high priority targets. The next phase of drilling at VC1 will target the two high priority off-hole targets, test the east-west extent of mineralisation from exiting drill pads, and aim to extend the mineralisation further down plunge, north of NDD0004.

Portable X-Ray Fluorescence (pXRF) Analysis
Given the long laboratory assay turnaround times currently being experienced in the industry, systematic pXRF analysis was undertaken on the massive and semi-massive sulphide intercepts from NDD0003 and NDD0004 to help qualify the style of mineralisation and sulphide species at VC1. Vein, breccia, blebby, and disseminated sulphide zones will not be reported, as pXRF is not reliable for testing those styles of mineralisation.
pXRF readings are semi-quantitative, and the sample size is not appropriate or representative of the sample medium. Therefore, the grades reported are a guide to the presence of metal species and the sulphide assemblage rather than an indication of expected laboratory assay grades.

==> picture [130 x 83] intentionally omitted <==
The holes were analysed by pXRF on a 10cm reading spacing, and a mean average was calculated from the results, which are as follows;
NDD0003
• 111.6 – 113.5m - 1.82% Ni, 0.11% Cu NDD0004
- 272.1 – 273m - 1.90% Ni, 0.05% Cu
Other metals of potential interest, such as Pt, Pd, and Co, will be reported with the laboratory assays as they are received.
VC3 drilling
NDD0005 was at a depth of approximately 230m at the time of writing. The hole has intersected a suite of mafic and ultramafic intrusive rocks over its entire length. These rocks are interpreted to be a similar package to that hosting the mineralisation at VC1. This strongly upgrades the VC3 target, which is located between 460m and 480m downhole in NDD0005.
The Company looks forward to providing shareholders with an update on the VC3 target when the target position is intersected.

The sulphide assemblage in order of abundance intersected by NDD0003 and NDDD0004 appears to be pyrrhotite, pentlandite, and chalcopyrite, with possible violarite and marcasite appearing in NDD0003. 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
Forward Plan
With results received for DHTEM surveying at VC1, the rig will move back there as soon as NDD0005 is completed at VC3. However, if results are positive at VC3, a second rig earmarked for arrival in several weeks’ time may be fast-tracked to the site. This will mean several targets could be tested and delineated simultaneously.
