MLTEM Survey Reveals Two Additional Drill Ready Targets

  • Processing and interrogation of recent MLTEM surveying completed

  • Two new drill-ready targets named VC3 and East1 confirmed for drill testing

Aldoro Resources Limited ( Aldoro , The Company ) ( ASX: ARN ) is pleased to announce the results of a Moving Loop Transient Electromagnetic (MLTEM) survey at the Narndee Igneous Complex (NIC). Dataset modelling and interrogation is now completed. Two new targets, VC3 and East1 have been modelled in 3D and confirmed for drill testing.

VC3 MLTEM Conductor

VC3 is interpreted to have an areal size of approximately 300m by 600m. The body is interpreted to be striking in a north-west southeast direction, with a conductance of approximately 1000-1500S. The top of the conductor is interpreted to lie at a depth of 400m below surface and the conductor body exhibits a shallow SE dip/plunge of approximately 10-20 degrees.

The target appears to be located on a basal contact of an olivine bearing pyroxenite, with a footwall sequence of metamorphosed felsic volcanics and granitic rocks. This is interpreted to be a favourable location for the development of magmatic nickel-copper sulphides.

EAST1 MLTEM Conductor

A discrete, relatively strong bedrock conductor is defined at this location. Modelling has resolved a body of at least 500m x 200m in areal size with a depth to the top of 225-275m below surface. The conductance models are at 6000-9000S, but the modelling suggests it could be higher. The body dips

at approximately 5-15 degrees to the west, striking north-south.

East1 is hosted by a sequence of felsic shists and metasediments. The geological setting is similar to that at Quandonng Well Zone B, and it may represent a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style target.

VC3 and East1 will both be tested during the current drill program. These targets now both rank higher than VC11 given their geological settings and will be prioritised accordingly.
