QUARTERLY REPORT
Period Ended 30 June 2019
Aldoro Resources Ltd ( Aldoro or the Company ) (ASX: ARN) provides the following commentary and Appendix 5B for the Quarter ended 30 June 2019.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Re-evaluation of nickel sulphide potential at Ryans Find Project in progress
-
Results received from orientation surface sampling programme
-
Grant of tenements at Cathedrals Belt Project, immediately adjacent to St George Mining’s Mt Alexander Project, enabling on ground exploration to commence
-
Prospectivity of Leinster Nickel Project enhanced by shallow nickel mineralisation reported in adjacent drilling by Talisman Mining, owner of the Sinclair Nickel Project
-
In addition to developing its prospective Nickel Projects, the Company is reviewing potential acquisitions and investments across a range of commodities and jurisdictions
Ryans Find Project
The Ryans Find Project is located 100km northwest of Southern Cross and covers a substantial part of the NNW-SSE trending Watt Hills greenstone belt, part of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. The Watt Hills greenstone belt is the southern extension of the mafic-ultramafic

complex that makes up the stratigraphically lower part of the larger Diemals-Marda greenstone belt. It is close to the eastern margin of the Southern Cross Province and is bounded to the east and west by Archaean granitoids and gneiss. The detailed structure of this Belt is not as well understood as other Belts in Western Australia due to the typical poor outcrop and a general lack of exploration in the past.
Aldoro’s exploration initially focussed on the nickel-cobalt potential of ultramafic rocks within the Watt Hills Greenstone belt. With recent appreciation in the nickel price, along with a decline in the cobalt price, the project is being re-evaluated for the potential to host nickel sulphide mineralisation. Both Western Mining Corporation and Arimco Mining Pty Ltd have reported encouraging results from nickel sulphide exploration at the Ryans Find project (refer WAMEX reports A001189 and A045655).
During the March Quarter, an orientation geochemical survey and geological reconnaissance was completed across the Ryans Find Project, comprising 124 soil samples and 15 rock chips. Results were received after the end of the Quarter and are currently being compiled and interpreted.

Cathedral Belt Project
The Cathedral Belt Project comprises 7 tenements located 250km northwest of Kalgoorlie (Figure 2), adjacent to nickel sulphide discoveries made by St George Mining Ltd ( St George ) at the Cathedrals, Strickland and Investigators Prospects.
St George has released thick intersections of high-grade nickel-copper cobalt-PGE mineralisation at the Investigators Prospect including 10m @ 2.47% Ni, 1.06% Cu, 0.07% Co and 2.52g/t PGEs from 142m including 3m @ 3.85% Ni, 2.12% Cu, 0.11% Co and 4.22g/t PGEs from 145m and 2m @ 5.04% Ni, 1.47% Cu, 0.16% Co and 2.12g/t PGEs from 150m (refer ASX Announcement ASX.SGQ 14 June 2019). More recently St George announced the expansion of exploration across its tenure and the identification of new targets to be drilled in coming months (refer ASX Announcement ASX.SGQ 14 June 2019).
The Company’s tenements lie to the east, and west, of St George’s tenure (Figure 2) and the Company’s interpretation is that the greenstones hosting the nickel-sulphide mineralisation extend into Aldoro’s tenure. Extensions to the prospective ultramafic unit which hosts the nickel-copper mineralisation within St George’s Mt Alexander Project would represent high priority targets for further exploration.
During the Quarter, the final two tenements in application in the Cathedrals Belt Project were granted (E29/1029 and E29/1031). The Company is now planning its initial field activities at the project which will initially comprise ground inspection of areas of interest identified in data from the Company’s high resolution aeromagnetic survey. Fieldwork will also comprise geological reconnaissance to identify areas of outcrop and subcrop as the area is generally covered by recent sediments as well as orientation geochemical surveys. Further details will be released as field work commences.
Leinster Project
Exploration at the Leinster Project has successfully identified targets for nickel sulphide mineralisation. Targets were identified in a high powered EM survey carried out by Aldoro Resources and are associated with known and interpreted ultramafic units in the project area (refer ASX Announcement 18 December 2018).
Ultramafic units along strike from the Leinster Nickel Project host nickel sulphide mineralisation at BHP’s Leinster Nickel Operations, which include the Perseverance, Rockys Reward and Venus Deposits and Talisman Mining’s Sinclair Nickel Project (Figure 2).
During the Quarter, Talisman Mining reported results of regional aircore drilling along the Sinclair Trend at the Amy Rix Project, adjacent to Aldoro’s Firefly Prospect (refer ASX.TLM Announcement 20 May 2019). Results included 21m at 1.03% Ni from surface and 32m at 0.78% Ni from surface (SNAC0197 and SNAC0200, refer ASX.TLM Announcement 20 May 2019) with broad, shallow nickel mineralisation reported over 500m of strike.

Figure 2. Aeromagnetic Image showing the Cathedral Belt and Leinster Projects.
Aldoro’s Firefly Prospect lies directly along strike from Amy Rix (Figure 3) and is associated with the same high magnetic response unit. The higher magnetic responses in the Firefly area have previously been determined to correlate to ultramafic units by drilling. The geological information announced by Talisman confirms this setting with drilling intersecting ultramafic lithologies along with a variety of other rock types including sediments, felsic intrusives and mafic lithologies.
Aldoro completed a high powered ground electromagnetic ( EM ) survey over the Firefly Prospect in December 2018 which detected an intense EM anomaly within a large, 1km scale anomaly (refer ASX Announcement 18 December 2018). The strength of this anomaly implies it is likely to have a high conductance and therefore a higher probability of a result of accumulations of sulphide minerals. Other anomalies have been noted in the northern part of the survey and while these are less intense, their spatial association with the larger anomaly provides encouragement that these features are worthy of further investigation.

Historical drilling has been completed at the Leinster Nickel Project, predominantly shallow drilling with isolated deeper RC or diamond core holes. Assay and logging data from these holes is being reviewed in detail to assess if any potential vectors to mineralisation are present. Given the complexity of most ultramafic flows in the Eastern Goldfields and the resultant controls on nickel sulphide mineralisation the Company is attempting to model of the potential channelways by interpretation of the magnetics / geological relationships as well as the drilling data with the aim of delineating robust drilling targets. The identification of shallow nickel mineralisation by Talisman provides significant encouragement to this ongoing work and the potential of the Firefly Prospect.
Kalgarin Project
The Company is currently designing a geochemical sampling programme across the Kalgarin Project, following the detection of elevated Ni-Co results in its first pass survey (refer ASX Announcement 29 April 2019). The Kalgarin Project is located along trend from Golden Mile Resources’ Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project (Figure 2). During 2018 Golden Mile announced the identification of new EM targets along strike from the Quicksilver Project, which is an encouraging sign for the potential of Aldoro’s Kalgarin Project to host Ni-Co mineralisation (refer Figure 2 and ASX.G88 Announcement 8 August 2018). A maiden Mineral Resource for the Quicksilver Nickel-Cobalt Project was published in November 2018 (refer ASX.G88 Announcement of 19 November 2018).
