New gold prospect outlined at Lyons River in Gascoyne


Highlights

  • New gold prospect (Goodbody) outlined

  • Systematic sampling on a 250m X 100m grid has identified:

  • 1.5km long gold anomaly

  • Peak value of 93ppb Au

  • Results from a review of base metal geochemistry from previous exploration at Goodbody include:

  • Up to 6.25g/t Au in rock chips

  • Follow-up exploration to commence in the June Quarter.

Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL or “Company”) has finalised a review of geochemical data from previous exploration undertaken at its Lyons River Project. The Company has identified the high-priority Goodbody gold prospect which has a strike length of 1.5km. Goodbody is located five kilometers to the west of its Four Corners BHT/SEDEX Pb-Zn base metal prospect.

The Goodbody gold prospect has been outlined from a review of soil geochemical sampling which was previously completed on a pattern of 250m X 50 to 100m over several campaigns by Serena Minerals Limited (period 2017 to 2021) with a peak value of 93ppb Au (Figure 1). Rock chip sampling of quartz veins by Audalia Resources Limited (ASX: ACP) during 2014 to 2015 [1 & 2] returned anomalous gold values of 0.40 g/t and 0.32 g/t, with subsequent rock chip sample results of up to 6.25 g/t at Goodbody (Figure 1).

The results of soil geochemical, rock chip sampling and geological mapping campaigns have been combined with our 50m spaced high resolution aeromagnetic data. This compilation highlights a broad east-west structural corridor containing gold anomalism over a strike length of several kilometres with the potential to host gold deposits (Figure 2).

Next Steps

The Goodbody gold anomaly remains open to the west. On a number of the sampling lines, soil samples were assayed for base metals only and not for gold. Sample pulps of this phase of previously completed sampling have been delivered to the laboratory for gold analysis.

Further exploration comprising infill soil geochemical sampling at Goodbody will commence in the June Quarter. Aircore drilling of this compelling gold target is also proposed, once site relevant access approvals are in place.

“Gold prices continue to rise as a safe-haven as a result of geopolitical uncertainty and we are excited about conducting more lab testing on the existing samples as well as doing more follow-up field exploration,” said Managing Director, Harjinder Kehal.

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 Proterozioc Capricorn Orogen (Figure 3).

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

(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.
Rock chip, stream sediment and soil sampling
Soil samples are generally homogenised by the
collection process
Entire sample was submitted for sample prep
and assay.
Rock chip, stream sediment and soil sampling
results are a first pass exploration technique that
can assist in vectoring toward mineralisation
For soil sampling, at the selected sample site, a
small hole is dug to a depth of approximately 20
cm. The soil material at the base of the hole was
sieved, and approximately 2kg of –2mm soil
material was collected into a numbered calico
bag.
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.).
No drilling results reported.

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.
Soil sample lines were orientated approximately
parallel
to
the
geological
strike
and
perpendicular to strike of the interpreted major
structures. Given the topography and early stage
of exploration, the sampling orientation is not
considered to introduce a bias to the
interpretation of the data
No drilling results reported.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were collected into labelled polyweave
sacks which were sealed by cable ties. The
polyweave sacks were placed in bulka-bags and
transported to the laboratory by freight
company. Once the samples arrived at the
laboratory, the samples numbers were checked
against the sample submission form and no
errors were identified.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
As part of the interpretation of the data the
Company’s geologist undertook a review of the
assay data quality, including laboratory batch
effects. No significant biases were identified.

Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and

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’). _

and anomalous values are provided in the body
of the report.

reporting
of

Results
is
not
practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
