ASX Announcement: (ASX: DAL)

Pb-Zn-Ag results support BHT/SEDEX-style Prospectivity at Lyons River


Highlights

  • Diamond hole LRDD003 assays returns promising anomalous lead and zinc zones including a higher-grade intersection of 0.2m of 3.05% Pb, 1.37% Zn and 3g/t Ag

  • The anomalous intersections are beneath the Four Corners Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly and within a 2.5 km-long Induced Polarisation (IP) chargeable zone. Significant down hole sulphide intervals intersected in all four diamond drill holes confirm the IP anomaly. Mineralisation remains open in all directions

  • The anomalous Pb-Zn-Ag intersections are hosted in an interpreted metamorphosed stratabound sequence of pyritic psammitic and pelitic rocks. The IP chargeable anomaly, intersected mineralsation and corresponding Pb-Zn geochemistry validate and help support the BHT/SEDEX prospectivity for the Lyons River Project area

  • The Four Corners prospect is one of six regional Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects identified to date at Lyons River within a Proterozoic basin setting that covers an area of 30km by 10km. Generative gravity survey is now complete and geochemical surveys are underway to better refine prospects/regional targets

  • New copper trend defined by recent rock chip sampling returned 10.7% Cu and 6 g/t Ag along the northern edge of the IP anomaly. Further infill geochemistry sampling is underway there

  • Results from the generative programmes will guide and prioritise the regional targets identified to date for follow up RC drilling earmarked during the December quarter and into 2022

Dalaroo Metals Ltd (“DAL” or “Company”) is pleased to announce the results at its Lyons River Project (“Lyons River” or “Project”). Lyons River is a strategic (100% owned) land position of 703 km[2] within the Proterozoic Mutherkin Group of the Gascoyne Province. The Company believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) / Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting.

Promising Pb-Zn-Ag assay results were part of an EIS funded ($125,000 grant) diamond drilling programme comprising four holes which were all drilled at the Four Corners prospect (Figures 2 and 3). The drilling tested coincident Induced Polarisation (IP), soil geochemical Pb-Zn anomalism and historic 2008 RC drill results. Better results include (see also Table 1):

  • 1m @ 0.68% Pb, 0.28% Zn and 0.6 g/t Ag from 223m

  • including 0.2m @ 3.05% Pb, 1.37% Zn and 3 g/t Ag from 223.2m

  • 1m @ 0.65 % Pb and 0.24% Zn and 1 g/t Ag from 226m

  • 4.9m @ 0.22% Pb from 238.5m including 1m @ 0.60% Pb, 454ppm Zn and 1 g/t Ag

  • 1m @ 0.57 % Pb and 0.17% Zn and 1 g/t Ag from 273m

Managing Director Mr Harjinder Kehal commented “These encouraging early stage results at Four Corners further supports the prospectivity at the Lyons River Project to host Pb-Zn mineralisation. Thus far Lyons River has five other Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects that warrant drill testing . The results from the diamond drill program at Four Corners and generative regional programs are expected to provide important vectors for the search for economic ore grade intersections”.

He also commented that “future targets for drill testing in early 2022, will include the Browns prospect which is a 2km by 1km compelling soil geochemical anomaly with peak Pb and Zn values of 900ppm and 264ppm respectively, where a detailed gravity survey has now been completed. Heritage surveys are being planned to undertake a drilling programme at Browns”.

Five regional base metal prospects/targets at Lyons River

Systematic soil geochemical sampling, completed by previous explorer Serena Minerals over an area of 22 km by 5 km to 10 km at a spacing of 250 m by 100 m, had delineated five Pb-Zn geochemical anomalies in the prospects (detailed below) in addition to the emerging Four Corners prospect at Lyons River (Figure 1):

  1. Browns – 2km by 1km Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly (peak values of 900ppm Pb and 264ppm Zn)

  2. Crawfords - 3km by 2km Pb-Zn-Mn soil geochemical anomaly (peak values of 350ppm Pb and 214 ppm Zn)

  3. Moondyne - 2km by 1km Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly (peak values of 284ppm Pb and 288ppm Zn)

  4. McCarthy - 1km by 0.5km Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly (peak values of 249ppm Pb and 201ppm Zn)

  5. Goodbody - 1km by 0.5km Pb-Zn soil geochemical anomaly (peak values of 429ppm Pb and 197ppm Zn)

Further infill geochemistry sampling is underway at all of the above prospects/ targets.

Four Corners

Geological logging of the drill core, subsequent petrological studies and pXRF spectral analyses have highlighted a signature BHT/SEDEX lithological package with interpreted psammitic and pelitic rocks that have undergone high grade metamorphism and comprise quartz-biotite-garnet-cordierite-sillimanite (Figure 3). These metamorphosed rocks have subsequently been intruded by the Davey Well granite batholith and pegmatite dykes.

Significant intervals of disseminated/blebby pyrite occur within the IP chargeability zones which were the foci of the completed diamond drilling programme. In addition, silicified zones with accompanying pyrite and chlorite, pyrrhotite and weak-to-moderate hematite alteration, were logged. Coeval galena and sphalerite have been observed with trace amounts of chalcopyrite in the holes (Figure 4A and B).

Gravity Surveys

Dalaroo has now completed gravity surveys at the Four Corners and Browns prospects to complement previously flown 50m spaced airborne magnetics surveys and a ground BHP gravity survey from late 2004. The Dalaroo gravity surveys were conducted at line spacing of 200m and station spacing of 50m during the September quarter and were designed to provide a better understanding of the structural framework at these prospects.

A review and assessment of the gravity survey data from the Four Corners and Browns prospects is being completed by Dalaroo's consultant geophysicist. An image of the 1st Vertical Derivative of terrain corrected Bouguer gravity linear colour stretch overlain on a grey scale image of the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) filtered Total Magnetic Intensity is shown in Figure 5.

Gravity is an important reconnaissance geophysical dataset. The higher resolution obtained from the recent gravity survey thus far (compared to open file), in conjunction with the magnetic dataset, is identifying features of interest, important stratigraphic trends and zones of structural complexity necessary for the formation of BHT/SEDEX Pb-Zn-Ag deposits.

Next Steps

Exploration activities planned for the Lyons River Project include:

  1. Dalaroo has secured a drill rig for a circa 3,000 metre RC drilling programme earmarked to commence in the December quarter to further test the Four Corners prospect, where primary zinc, lead and copper sulphide mineralisation has now been intersected. The drill programme will test extensions to mineralisation in drill hole LRDD003 along the strike extent of the NE zone of the IP anomaly and the broader untested portions of the geochemical anomaly. In addition, drilling will target the copper trend located along the northern edge of the NE zone of the IP anomaly.

  2. An assessment of gravity survey data for the Four Corners and Browns prospect and integration with the IP, magnetics and available geochemistry is well underway and will be completed during the December quarter. This will guide and prioritise regional targeting and work programmes during 2022.

  3. Infill and extension geochemical surveys are currently underway and will be completed during the December quarter, covering the Browns, Crawfords, McCarthys and Goodbody prospects. Additional geochemical sampling will further refine drill targets for the coming year. Results will be reported in due course following assessment and review.

  4. Specialist geophysical contractor engagement to conduct surface IP and radial/downhole IP surveys now pushed to March quarter 2022 due to unprecedented demand for their services. The IP anomaly NE and SE zones remain open to the east, IP survey lines will be extended further to the east to determine the eventual size of the currently defined 2.5km strike length anomaly.

  5. Heritage surveys are being planned for the drill testing of the Browns prospect and other regional prospects/targets.

About Lyons River Project

Location

Lyons River is located approximately 1,100km north of Perth and approximately 220 km to the northeast of the coastal town of Carnarvon, Western Australia (Figure 6).

==> picture [457 x 376] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Lyons River Project location diagram

Geological setting

The Lyons River Project lies within the Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province, which is the deformed and high-grade metamorphic core zone of the early Proterozioc Capricorn Orogen (Figure 7). The Mutherbukin Zone is 50km wide and trends WNW-ESE, bounded to the north by the Ti Tree Shear Zone and to the south by the Chaliba Shear Zone). These south-dipping, crustal-scale structures delineate the margins of the Mutherbukin Zone and separate it from the older Limejuice Zone to the north and the Mooloo Zone to the south.

Sweet Spots for BHTs/ SEDEXs

Combination of exploration work completed to date by previous explorers, has led to the development of a conceptual model that suggests Lyons River is prospective for BHT deposits (Table 2).

Geoscience Australia’s 2019 study, using surface wave tomography and a parameterisation for anelasticity at seismic frequencies shows 85% of world’s sediment hosted base metal deposits occur within 200km of the edges of thick lithosphere. The Australian model shows striking correlation between major sediment hosted deposits and edge of thick lithosphere, defined by 170km LAB contour. Lyons River Project is located 156km away from the 170km LAB contour (Figure 8).

‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drillholes (collar and downhole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
All drillhole collars are surveyed with a handheld
GPS unit with an accuracy of ±5m which is
considered sufficiently accurate for the purpose
of the drillhole. • All co-ordinates are expressed
in GDA94 datum, Zone 51. • Regional
topographic control has an accuracy of ±2m
based on detailed DTM data.
Gravity surveylocations were measured with
Scintrex CG-5-6 system and vertical and
horizontal accuracy determined by Kinematic
GPS.
Gravity control was established using multiple
ABA ties to a control station tied to the Australian
Fundamental Gravity Network.
Data spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.
Diamond drillhole spacing is not regular or grid
based, with the location of individual drillholes
governed by targeting the position of coincident
modelled Induced Polarisation contours, soil
geochem and historical RC drilling
The Competent Person considers that the
paucity of drilling at Lyons River is insufficient to
establish grade continuity but is indicative of
mineralisation appropriate to an early-stage
exploration project.
Not applicable forgravity survey
Orientation of
data in relation
to geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and the
extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship
between the drilling
orientation
and
the
orientation
of
key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
The Competent Person has reported downhole
intersections without reference to interpreted
mineralisation orientation. This is appropriate
for an early-stage exploration program where
the orientation of mineralisation is preliminary,
and it is inappropriate to geometrically correct
intersections.
Gravity surveysundertaken includes an area
with SW-NE magnetic grain, 3D and cross-cutting
magnetic bodies, and N-S faults. The survey grid
is well suited to the SW-NE magnetic stratigraphy
but under samples the N-S fault.

Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging
techniques,
maximum
and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low-grade results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some typical
examples of such aggregations should be shown
in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
In all cases, Exploration Results have been
reported in accordance with Clause 19 of the
JORC Code. Data has been reported as arithmetic
averages,
weighted
by
downhole
drill
intersection
for
identified
zones
of
mineralisation.
No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect
to the drillhole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true width
not known’).
The drill core has been oriented to enable
structural logging and evaluation of true
thicknesses of the mineralised intervals. • All
drillhole intercepts/intervals are measured
downhole in metres.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drillhole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Appropriate diagrams are included in the main
body of this report
Balanced
reporting
Where
comprehensive
reporting
of
all
Exploration
Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Assay results presented are balanced.
Reporting of the gravity results is considered
balanced.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical
test
results;
bulk
density,
groundwater,
geotechnical
and
rock
characteristics;
potential
deleterious
or
contaminating substances.
Detailed high quality aeromagnetic, IP, gravity
datasets and soil geochemistry
Thegravity surveyfor the Four Corners and
Browns prospects was merged with the BHP
survey to produce a data set of 3,594 stations.
This was then merged with the regional
Geoscience Australia gravity data set for an area
of around 200km x 200km centred on the project
in order to allow for better regionals to be
created. The merged data set consisted of 12,600
stations.
