Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL , “Dalaroo” or “Company”) provides an exploration update on activities at its Namban Project located ~ 150km north-northeast of Perth and adjacent to the regional centre of Moora in Western Australia (Figure 1).
Following the completion of the annual grain harvest, systematic auger geochemical sampling was completed covering larger areas at Manning with multi-element results received. The Manning anomaly lies immediately to the west of Minerals 260’s (ASX: MI6) Mallory PGE-Au anomaly.
In addition, analytical results have been received from the maiden aircore (AC) drilling program at the Cattady PGE-Au anomaly within the Namban Project area.

Systematic auger geochemical sampling totaling 537 samples has been completed by Dalaroo at the Manning prospect, spaced on a pattern of 100 X 50m and 200 X 50m. A large coincident PGE-Cu-Ni-Au anomaly along the eastern boundary of the Namban Project tenement E70/4928 has been defined. The PGE anomaly covers an area of 2 km X 0.5 km and remains open along strike to the north and south. The Pd anomaly with a peak value of 28ppb is coincident with Cu (peak value of 605 ppm) and Ni anomalism (peak value of 206 ppm) (Figures 2 and 3).

Cattady
The Company’s maiden AC drilling program, undertaken to test areas of surface geochemical Pd and Au anomalism at Cattady has been completed. The Cattady Anomaly comprised two parallel platinum-group element (PGE)* trends with values of up to 97ppb Pd + Pt, 28ppb Au and peak anomalous values of 642 ppm Nickel (Ni) and 226 ppm Copper (Cu) outlined over a 1km strike length.
The AC drilling program goals were to obtain an understanding of the regolith profile and provide key geological constraints on the rock types that underlie the surface soil geochemical Pd and Au anomalism, with a focus on identifying potential mafic lithologies that confirm geochemical anomalism that could be prospective for hosting magmatic PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization.
A total of 90 drill holes for 1,495 metres were completed at Cattady. East-west drill lines were mostly 150 - 100 metres apart, with a 50m spacing on each drill section (Table 2). A total of 534 samples were collected from the AC drill program.
The AC drilling program defined two north-south, north-northwest trending mafic rock types hosted within a broader felsic gneiss package. The north-south trending mafic intrusive defined over 1km broadly coincides with the soil geochemical anomalies, see Figure 5. Best results include: 18m @ 61 ppb Pd +Pt from 0 m, including 1m @ 0.155 g/t Pd + Pt + Au and 391ppm Cu in drill hole CAC003 (Table 1 and Figure 5). Further work by Dalaroo will investigate to the significance of the PGE anomalous mafic intrusive phase at the Cattady prospect.
In addition, AC drilling also tested Au geochemical anomalies. Within the felsic gneiss package, zones of hematite +/- epidote +/- chlorite alteration and pyrite were observed in proximity to an inferred northeast trending structure and intervals of quartz veining; however, these do not show any correlation with gold-in-soil anomalism. AC drilling has highlighted that the Proterozoic age Dalaroo Siltstone is unconformably overlying the Archean crust at a shallow angle. Interestingly at this contact, moderate to intense hematite altered Archean felsic gneiss was observed, returning an encouraging intersection of 4m @ 108ppb Au. This implies that this major unconformity/ contact zone has the potential to host Au mineralisation.

Upcoming Exploration Milestones
==> picture [99 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
At Manning, follow up geophysical surveys comprising IP and EM are proposed to determine the significance of the large PGE-Cu-Ni-Au anomaly.
At Cattady, anomalous PGE and multi-element results from AC drilling will be assessed further in conjunction detailed magnetics. Further land access agreements are being negotiated to allow expansion of the geochemical sampling coverage to the north and south and determine the full extent of precious metal and PGE anomalism at Cattady.
Additional magnetic targets identified from recently completed detailed drone surveys in the Moora region are being assessed, with geochemical sampling to be completed over areas that are not being cropped.
New detailed drone magnetic surveys have been completed at the Watheroo Chonolith prospect and the data is currently being assessed with results to be released in due course.
“We are highly encouraged by the scale of the large Manning PGE-Ni-Cu-Au anomaly outlined from our recent auger geochemical sampling. Its significance will be investigated further using electrical geophysical methods such as IP and or EM to define potential conductive bedrock drill targets related to PGE-Ni-Cu mineralization.
In addition, our maiden aircore drilling at Cattady has intersected bedrock values up to 0.15 g/t 3E (Pd+Pd+Au)” said Harjinder Kehal, Managing Director of Dalaroo Metals.

About the Namban Project
Namban comprises an under explored ground package totalling 437km[2] located in the mid-north part of the wheatbelt region of Western Australia, deemed by Dalaroo to be prospective for magmatic intrusion related Ni-Cu-PGE deposits. Project tenements cover a strike distance of 60 km, adjacent to the crustalscale Darling Fault, on the western margin of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. The Company has a 100% controlling interest comprising six tenements extending from the townships of Moora in the south to Three Springs in the north (Figure 6).
No modern systematic exploration has been undertaken over the Namban Project area of the Archaean age Jimperding Metamporhic Belt prior to the very recent work by Dalaroo.

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 Aircore (AC) drilling. AC drill samples were collected at 1m intervals in a cyclone at the side of the drilling rig. Samples were laid out on the ground for sampling and logging. Auger samples collected from 0.6 – 1m depth with 0.5-1kg collected for assay. Aircore sampling procedure comprised of a sample being collected for 0 to 1m interval and a “Bottom of Hole” single metre sample for all holes, with the remainder comprising 3 or 4 metres composites samples collected using a scoop. Geochem augur sampling required entire auger sample was submitted for sample prep and assay. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
Aircore drilling used a 4.5 inch aircore bit 5 inch hammer and with 6 metre rod lengths. Both bits are face sampling. Strike Drilling completed the AC drilling. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Sample recovery generally excellent in weathered and fresh rocks. Drilling has utilised AC rig of sufficient size and air capacity to maximise recovery and provide dry chip samples. No indication of sample bias is evident or has been established |

Representative samples obtained from AC sample pile with a scoop at a 45 degree through the sample pile to ensure a representative sample. Method appropriate for deposit and sample type using accepted industry practices. AC samples have field duplicate samples taken at regular intervals and compared. Samples sub-sampled using accepted splitting techniques and have been delivered to laboratory for total preparation by crushing and pulverisation, before being sub-sampled for analysis. Sample sizes are generally appropriate for grain size and materials sampled. Sample preparation of samples follows industry best practice standards and is conducted by internationally recognized laboratories; i.e Oven drying, jaw crushing and pulverising so that 90% passes -75 microns.

|---|---|---|
| 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. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
The primary mineralisation style being sought is nickel-copper-PGE (Ni-Cu-PGE) intrusive related deposits such as Julimar. All holes logged and data entered into a database. |
| 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. |
Refer to table of drillhole collars in body of report. |
| 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. |
