ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

Multiple lead-zinc sulphide intersections first drill program at Browns in Gascoyne


Highlights

  • Maiden aircore (AC) drilling at Browns prospect, Lyons River Project identifies:

  • Significant lead - zinc (Pb-Zn) in a new BHT/SEDEX style prospect

  • New nickel mineralisation intersected within an open-ended Ultramafic unit.

  • Significant Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts include:

  • 16m @ 0.72% Pb, 0.35% Zn and 2g/t silver (Ag) from 32m including 8m @ 1.1% Pb and 2.50 g/t Ag from 36m, and

  • 28m @ 0.41 % Pb, 0.20% Zn from surface including 8m @ 0.75% Pb, 0.20% Zn and 1.25g/t Ag from 16m.

  • More than 800m of Pb-Zn strike length mineralisation defined which remains open in all directions.

  • The recently completed AC drill program has only tested the northern part of the 2km X 1km Pb-Zn soil/rock chip anomaly.

  • Ag intercepts are coincident with Pb and Zn assays and further support the BHT/SEDEX setting model, presence and potential for the discovery of multiple Pb-Zn-Ag deposits.

  • Drill hole LRAC007 intersects an ultramafic unit with an early strong nickel (Ni) intersection of 49m @ 0.24% Ni from 12m including 8m @ 0.33% Ni from 16m.

Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL or “Company”) has recently completed an AC drilling program which has outlined new and significant BHT/SEDEX-style Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization at the Browns prospect (Figure 1). Browns is one of six Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects identified from large systematic soil geochemical programs (sample spacing 250 X 50-100m) at Lyons River within a Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area of 30 km by 10 km. Lyons River comprises a strategic (100% owned) land position of 703 km[2] within the Paleoproterozoic Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province. The significant Pb-Zn AC results from Browns further confirm that Lyons River has potential to host multiple Pb-Zn discoveries and is emerging as a new Broken Hill Type (BHT) / Sedimentary Exhalative (SEDEX) deposit setting in Western Australia (Figure 5).

Dalaroo’s Managing Director, Harjinder Kehal, commented: “ We are encouraged by the prospectivity of discovering a significant BHT-SEDEX-style deposit at Browns and by the evidence that lead-zinc-silver mineralizing fluids have circulated at the basin-wide scale five kilometers east from our already drilled Four Corners prospect. This means extensive hydrothermal fluid circulation cells are present which are important for developing ore forming fluids. This in turn leads us to the conclusion there may be multiple base metal deposits at our Lyons River Project. We are looking forward to testing this in the December quarter 2022 by conducting more drilling in conjunction with downhole geophysical surveys, ”.

A total of 20 angled AC drill holes for 1,216 metres ranging in depth from 49 to 73 metres were completed (Figure 2 and Table 2). The Company’s AC drill program at the Browns prospect was designed to test a very compelling broad Pb-Zn soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080 Zn ppm) covering an area of 2km X 1km, associated with extensive iron-rich and gossanous material at surface.

Detailed gravity surveys (200m X 50m spacing), completed by the Company in the second half of 2021, complemented historical surveys by BHP and show a coincident gravity low suggesting an area of possible deepening basin development at Browns. The northern part of the Browns coincident Pb and Zn soil geochemical anomaly appears to lie at the intersection of two NW-SE striking parallel features identified within the magnetics/gravity data that are interpreted as thrust structures (Figure 2).

Dalaroo’s AC drill program was successful in intersecting zones of interbedded psammitic to pelitic lithologies together with multiple zones of disseminated base metal sulphides such as galena and sphalerite. The psammitic to pelitic lithologies display varying garnet intensities that appear laterally extensive coupled with the presence of sillimanite infer a large alteration halo is present at Browns.

More than 800m of strike length lead-zinc mineralization has been outlined at Browns which remains open in all directions (Figure 2). The AC drill program has only tested the northern part of the 2km X 1km Pb-Zn soil/rock chip anomaly. Ag intercepts are coincident with Pb and Zn assays and further support the presence of BHT/SEDEX-style of mineralization.

Significant Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts from Browns AC drilling 4m composite samples (Figures 2, 3 and 4) include:

  • Drill hole LRAC010 - 16m @ 0.72% Pb, 0.35% Zn and 2g/t Ag from 32m including 8m @ 1.1% Pb and 2.50 g/t Ag from 36m

  • Drill hole LRAC008 - 28m @ 0.41 % Pb, 0.20% Zn from 0m including 8m @ 0.75% Pb, 0.20% Zn and 1.25 g/t Ag from 16m

Browns represents the second site of Pb-Zn-Ag intersections discovered by bedrock drilling in the Mutherbukin Zone, 5km east of the Dalaroo’s Four Corners Pb-Zn-Ag prospect.

At Four Corners (Figure 1) encouraging primary zinc (sphalerite) and lead (galena) sulphide mineralisation has been intersected in previous diamond (2020) and RC drilling (2021) with drill results of (ASX: DAL – see announcements from 25 October 2021 and 16 March 2022):

  • Drill hole LRDD003 - 0.2m @ 3.05% Pb, 1.37% Zn and 3 g/t Ag from 223.2m

  • Drill LRRC001 - 1 m @ 0.43% Pb, 0.95% Zn and 7.5 g/t Ag from 47m

  • Drill hole LRRC006 - 9m @ 0.34 % Pb, 0.21% Zn and 1g/t Ag from 141m including 5m @ 0.48% Pb, 0.26% Zn and 1.3 g/t Ag from 144m

Early geological interpretation of the recent drilling results and the available gravity and magnetics data outline a sub-basin fold or trough structure south of current drilling, suggesting potential deepening of the basin. Significantly, this interpreted structure coincides with a linear lead and zinc soil anomaly and anomalous lead and zinc rock chip samples. Structurally-controlled sub-basin troughs represent optimum locations for the formation of ore grade Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, as exemplified at the Teena and MacArthur River SEDEX deposits of the Northern Territory where ore zones are hosted by similar geological structures. The Browns south sub-basin fold zone is considered a high priority follow-up target for drill testing for the company as it vectors towards high-grade Pb-Zn-Ag in the Mutherbukin Zone, Gascoyne Province,” Mr Kehal said.

Early strong Nickel Intercept

AC drill hole LRAC007 (Figure 3) has intersected an ultramafic unit with an early strong nickel (Ni) intersection of:

49m @ 0.24% Ni from 12m including 8m @ 0.33% Ni from 16m .

Petrological studies highlight that the ultramafic unit comprises olivine-enstatite with partial late stage serpentinisation. Trace amounts of nickel sulphides have been observed.

The ultramafic unit possibly extends to the east, where in drill hole LRAC019, a fine-grained high Mg basalt has been described from petrological work. High Mg values from multi-element data suggest this may be related to the ultramafic unit. Chalcopyrite as blebs and veinlets has been noted in petrological work. Geophysical Total Magnetic Intensity imagery suggests the ultramafic unit is not conformable with the lithological sequence and swings to a north trending orientation.

Next Steps at Lyons River

Base metal – BHT/SEDEX targets (Browns and Four Corners)

Exploration activities planned for the Browns BHT/SEDEX prospect for the remainder of 2022 include the following:

  • AC drill test the sub-basin fold structure with anomalous Pb-Zn anomalism in the larger Browns 2km X 1km Pb-Zn anomaly once approvals are place.

  • Detailed geological mapping.

  • Downhole geophysical surveys including EM and or IP.

At the Four Corners surface IP and radial/downhole IP surveys once a specialist geophysical contractor becomes available to conduct these surveys in early the December Quarter 2022. These IP surveys are expected to provide vectors for the next phase of drill testing at Four Corners. In addition, the NE and SE zones of the IP anomaly remain open to the east, where survey lines will be further extended to determine the eventual size of the currently defined 2.5km strike length anomaly ,”Mr Kehal said.

Nickel Potential – Browns

Further work is warranted to understand the significance of the nickel intersection from the AC in the newly identified Ultramafic unit at Browns.

Lithium potential targets

A program of field geological mapping and rock chip sampling of outcropping pegmatites on the high priority lithium targets, generated by multi-element data review is underway. Infill soil sampling programs at the lithium targets is being completed. Results from the field geological mapping coupled with rock chip sampling and subsequent infill soil geochemical sampling programs will guide the next phase of exploration including, RC drill testing to determine the extent of Li rich pegmatites.

Goodbody – gold target

At Goodbody a broad east-west structural corridor containing gold anomalism and rock chip values of up to 6.25 g/t Au occurs over a strike length of several kilometres with the potential to host gold deposits. The Goodbody gold anomaly remains open to the west.

Further exploration comprising infill soil geochemical sampling at Goodbody will continue into the September/December quarter 2022. AC drilling of this compelling gold target is also proposed, once site relevant access approvals are in place.

About the Lyons River Project

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. 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 Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Lyons River Project location diagram

Sweet Spots for SEDEXs/BHTs

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 lithosphereaesthenosphere boundary (LAB) contour. Lyons River Project is located 156km away from the 170km LAB contour (Figure 6).

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry
standard
measurement
tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
x-ray fluorescence (XRF) instruments, etc). These
examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘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.
Sampling was completed using air core (AC). AC
drill samples were collected at 1m intervals in a
cyclone at the side of the drilling rig and a sub-
sample collected via a cone splitter. The samples
were laid out on the ground in piles for sampling
and logging. Occasional wet samples were
contained in a dug shallow pit.
Four metre composite samples were taken from
1m interval sample piles using a scoop, and
collected in numbered sample bags
1m samples retained for future analyses if 4m
composites return anomalous assays.
Cyclones regularly cleaned to remove hung-up
clays and avoid cross-sample contamination
All sampling by conventional base metal industry
drilling methods. Duplicate samples collected to
test sample representivity.
Drilling

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.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Individual calico sample bags from the AC drilling
were placed in polyweave bags and hand
delivered directly to the assay laboratory in Perth
by company personnel.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
None of the drilling has been subject to audit.
The Competent Person does not consider this to
be material for early-stage exploration projects.

Section 2: Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The Lyons River Project tenements are wholly
owned by Dalaroo Metals Limited (“Dalaroo”)
The Project is located 220km north-east of
Carnarvon on Eudamullah Pastoral Station.
The Competent Person is unaware of any
impediments
to
development
of
these
tenements.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.
Exploration of Lyons River has previously been
undertaken by other parties including BHP,
Altera and Serena and the Competent Person has
referenced the parties involved and the results of
this work throughout the text.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting, and style of
mineralisation.
The primary mineralisation style being sought is
metamorphosed base metal mineralisation of
the Broken Hill type (BHT) and SEDEX.
Drillhole
information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding
of
the
exploration
results
including
a
tabulation
of
the
following
information for all Material drillholes:
easting and northing of the drillhole collar
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation
above sea level in metres) of the drillhole
collar
dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception depth
hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on
the basis that the information is not Material and
this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the case.

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’). _
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.
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.
