BEST DRILLHOLES DRILLED TO DATE AT NARNDEE
Highlights
-
Multiple thick disseminated sulphide intersections identified & sent for expedited analytical testing.
-
Holes have ended in mineralisation with Aldoro looking to deepen holes post assay results being release ~~d .~~
-
Following receipt of assay up to 6 additional priority diamond holes will be drille ~~d .~~
-
Gradient IP array completed over Narndee northern Target 3 providing additional high interest targets, two of which are being tested by IP sounding.
-
NDD0028 & NDD0029 have assisted in confirming the IP modelling. As such the much larger IP targets (3x - 6x larger) at Target 3 will now be the focus of the forthcoming diamond drilling program.
Aldoro Resources Ltd (“ Aldoro ”, “ The Company” ) ( ASX: ARN ) is pleased to announce the completion of the current phase of diamond drilling with 3 additional holes (NDD0027-29) intersecting thick sections of disseminated sulphides with which are undergoing submission for expedited analytical testing . The additional three holes bring the total to 7 diamond holes for 2,949m for the current phase of drilling (Table 1). A total of 264m of visually prospective core over 3 holes is currently undergoing analysis at Intertek Genalysis, see Table 2. Details of the first part of the programme were released 17[th] January 2023, see ASX:ARN announcements.

The gradient array IP survey was completed over Narndee Target 3 (northern grid area in Figure 1) revealing continuity in the chargeability trends from the IP sounding conducted in the southern survey area. The recent drilling targeted the Central high chargeability anomaly (NDD0027) and the extension of the Eastern anomaly (NDD0028-29). At hole NDD0027 from 180m onwards fine interstitial pentlandite was visible with the most abundant noted between the 350-380m interval . The 348400m interval is being cut and analysed at Intertek.

At the eastern anomaly, the target is over 900m long and hole NDD0025 reported 4m@ 0.57g/t Pd, 0.09g/t Pt and 0.04g/t Au ( 0.69g/t 3E ) and 0.54% Ni, 0.15% Cu from 247m (ASX:17 January 2023).
Two additional holes were drilled further along strike in an attempt to intersect thicker mineralisation. Hole NDD0028 intersected pentlandite from 90m and disseminated sulphides to the end of the hole at 346.8m where a large cavity was intersected resulting in the loss of the drill rods & the hole being terminated. Chalcopyrite zones were noted at 304.7m-329m, 339.5m-

Figure 6 : Hole NDD0029 Cross section through the 6500mN East-West line showing the drill trace through chargeability anomaly.
Three IP sounding traverses were conducted over the two very large new anomalies, the Northwest and Northern targets, shown in Figure 3, which displayed discrete chargeability features as displayed in Figure 7. The Northwest anomaly is deeper and associated with a resistivity low, Figure 8, is most likely fault related, while the Northern anomaly is shallower, more coherent and has only moderate resistivity.
