Heavy Rare Earths and Lithium potential expanded at Lyons River Project, Gascoyne Province
Lyons River Project Highlights
-
Two significant Rare Earth Element (REE) anomalies outlined at View Hill and 32 Mile Well prospects in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia.
-
REE anomalism at View Hill with peak value of 1,043 ppm TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides) and strike length of 2.2km coincides with large thorium high.
-
REE anomalism at 32 Mile Well with a peak value of 2,025 ppm TREO has a strike length of more than 3km.
-
REE anomalies lie adjacent to a major NE-trending structural feature, compatible with relationships seen at Kingfisher Mining’s Mick Well REE discovery. Anomalies could represent hard rock or clay hosted REE mineralisation.
-
A major shear zone/corridor active during the Edmundian Orogeny defined, with potential for lithium bearing pegmatites supported by previously reported Li in soil geochemical anomalies and anomalous rock chip values of 114 ppm Li, 1638 ppm Rb, 187 ppm Nb and 183 ppm Sn.
-
Analyses of granitic rocks demonstrates that intrusions of the Thirty Three Supersuite are present, which confirms interpretation of Edmundian deformation, and underlines prospectivity for lithium bearing pegmatites.
Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL, “Dalaroo” or “Company”) is pleased to announce excellent results from its follow up systematic soil sampling relating to REE prospectivity at the View Hill area in the Lyons River Project, Gascoyne region of Western Australia (Figures 1 and 5).
Dalaroo’s Lyons River Project comprises approximately 740km[2] of the Durlacher Super Suite and Halfway Gneiss, transected by major NW-trending shear zones including the Chalba Shear. This same stratigraphy and comparable structural setting hosts significant REE deposits nearby to the north, at the Hastings Technology Metals Yangibana and Dreadnought Resources Mangaroon projects, and to the south at Kingfisher Mining’s Mick Well Project (Figure 1).
Dalaroo’s Managing Director, Harjinder Kehal, commented:
“ We are delighted to have delineated two REE geochemical anomalies (combined strike of >5km) with results for the heavy end of the rare earths spectrum, of up to 2,045 ppm Total Rare Earths Oxides (TREO) from a follow-up sampling program on the eastern side of our Lyons River Project”.

Rare Earths
Two significant REE anomalies have been outlined at the View Hill and 32 Mile Well prospects. The REE anomalism with a peak value of 1,043 ppm TREO at Zone 1 has a strike length of 2.2km, average width of 500m and coincides with a large NW trending thorium high identified in detailed radiometric imagery data flown by the Company. The second REE anomaly with a peak value of 2,025 ppm TREO has a current strike length of over 3km and an average width of 300m (Table 1).

Importantly both REE anomalies lie adjacent to a major NE-trending structure, compatible with relationships seen at Kingfisher Mining’s Mick Well REE discovery (Figures 1 and 2). The anomalies have no recorded drilling and could, therefore, represent either potential hard rock or near surface clay hosted mineralisation drill targets. A total 309 soil samples were collected over the greater View Hill and 32 Mile Well prospect areas as part of the follow up sampling program on lines 1km apart at 100m intervals (Figure 2). First pass REE results at View Hill had returned values of up to 1043 ppm TREO reported (ASX: DAL -See ASX: Announcement from 4 April 2023).
Lithium Potential
At Dalaroo’s Lyons River Project, a shear zone with a strike length of 30km has been identified from detailed geological mapping undertaken by respected lithium expert and structural geologist, Dr Mike Grigson. This shear zone was active during the Edmundian Orogeny (like the Ti Tree Shear Zone, hosting Yinnetharra Lithium mineralisation) and importantly this shear zone shows strain with steep mineral stretching lineations, and localised oblique foliation trends near cross-fault swarms in the central part in the Four Corners area (Figures 2 and 3). The latter features are indicative of strong constrictional strain, and in other rare-metal provinces (e.g., East Pilbara Terrane) such structures characterise the immediate environs of major spodumene-bearing pegmatite deposits.

The Edmundian timing of shear-zone deformation is supported by presence of granite intrusions at Lyons River that contain pegmatite segregations, and display REE enrichment patterns identical to the distinctive patterns shown by the intrusions of the Thirty Three Supersuite in the Ti Tree Shear Zone (flat, to weakly positive, chondrite-normalised profile from Gd to Lu; Figure 3 and Table 2). The presence of such granite intrusions is not unexpected, given the large number of thick, muscovite-rich, granitic pegmatite sheets at Lyons River. Importantly, many of the granitic pegmatite sheets at Lyons River are highly deformed, which again is the hallmark of major rare-metal pegmatite provinces, where the deformed sheets are considered the most likely source of melts that formed spodumene-bearing deposits in shear zones.
Rock chip sampling completed to date of outcropping pegmatites at View Hill has confirmed whole rock geochemistry considered highly fertile for LCT-type pegmatites (Figure 3). A pegmatite swarm that outcrops in the newly identified shear zone and across a 9km x 6km area has returned anomalous rock chip values of 114 ppm Li, 1638 ppm Rb, 187 ppm Nb and 183 ppm Sn. Rock chip sampling of pegmatites, west of View Hill, has returned significant Ta and Nb values of 117 ppm and 328 ppm respectively with anomalous Rb of 904 ppm (ASX: DAL - See ASX: Announcement from 1 December 2022). This is indicative of highly fractionated LCT pegmatites and supports the interpretation that the shear zone/corridor is fertile, with potential for higher grade lithium at depth.
Pegmatites in the adjacent Yinnetharra district form part of the intrusive Thirty Three Supersuite (“TTS”), which comprises granite, granitic pegmatites (microcline-muscovite-tourmaline) and rare-metal pegmatites. Field mapping by Dalaroo has confirmed that the granites and pegmatites of the TTS have also intruded the host stratigraphy of the Lyons River Project tenements (Figure 3). Dalaroo’s lithium anomalous rock chip results are located approximately 22km south-west of the Yinnetharra Lithium Project, where Delta Lithium has significant intersections of 29m @ 1.5% Li2O and 36m @ 1.1% Li2O (ASX: DLI -See ASX: Announcement from 4 July 2023).
Next Steps
REE Potential
Infill soil sampling over the View Hill and 32 Mile Well prospects which have strike lengths of 2.2km and 3km respectively will be completed on a 200m x 40m pattern. Rock chip sampling will be undertaken over the REE anomalous zones. The results from the infill sampling is expected to delineate drill targets.
Lithium Potential
Rock chip sampling of the 30km strike length shear zone that was active during the Edmundian Orogeny similar to Ti Tree Shear, hosting Yinnetharra Lithium has commenced to outline Li bearing pegmatites. Results from this sampling program will lead to defining drill targets.

Appendix 1: Dalaroo Metals Ltd – Lyons River Project – JORC Code Edition 2012: Table 1
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. |
Soil and rock chip sampling. Soil samples are generally homogenised by the collection process. Entire sample was submitted for sample prep and assay. Rock chip samples were taken as individual rocks representing an outcrop to give an indication of their mineral and elemental composition. 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. Rock chip sampling completed across a lithology, in a channel fashion, to obtain representative material, with sample size of 1-4 kg. Soil and rock chip sampling results are a first pass exploration technique that can assist in vectoring toward mineralisation. |
| 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. |

|---|---|---|
| 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. |
No drilling results reported. No drilling results reported. No drilling results reported. |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Sample type and landform/regolith settings were recorded, and geo-tagged photos of samples and settings taken. No drilling results reported. |
| Subsampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Soil samples were sieved to collect the -2 mm fraction. Representative rock samples were collected. All samples were dry. 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. There was no sub-sampling. Soil sampling completed on a regular grid line spacings to ensure representative sampling of area being assessed. Entire rock sample was submitted for multi- element assay and sample size is considered appropriate for the material being sampled. Entire soil sample submitted for assay and sample size is considered appropriate for the material being sampled. |

|---|---|---|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
Soil and rock samples have been submitted to Bureau Veritas Laboratories for analysis by 4- Acid Digest - 0.2g Samples analysis and determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Optical Emission Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometry. |
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
Anomalous geochemical thresholds were determined by a senior geologist and consultant. None drilled. All field data was manually collected, entered into excel spreadsheets, validated and loaded into Access database and processed by a number of different exploration software. None required |
| 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 samples collected are located using a handheld GPS. Grid system used for geochemical sampling is GDA94 Zone 50 For geochemical sampling nominal RLs based on regional topographic data sets and handheld GPS. |
| 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. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| 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 perpendicular to the geological strike and 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. Rock chip sampling was of a reconnaissance nature only and was not designed to achieve unbiased sampling. 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 and consultants undertook a review of the assay data quality, including laboratory batch effects. No significant biases were identified. |

Work completed regional geological mapping, geophysical surveys, rock chip sampling, stream sediment samplingand soil sampling. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting, and style of mineralisation. |
The tenements are located in the Mutherbukin zone of the Gascoyne Province. The majority of the tenement area is interpreted to be dominated by a sequence undifferentiated schists, gneiss and granites of the Durlacher Suite (Davey Well Granite) and Thirty Three Supersuite granitic pegmatites |
| 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. |
No drillholes are reported. The plan provided in the body of the report identifies the location of the geochemical sampling sites. |

| 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. |
|
| 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’). _ |
No mineralisation widths have been reported. |
| 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 maps displaying all the data points and anomalous values are provided in the body of the 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. |
The reporting of exploration results is considered balanced by the competent person. |
| 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. |
No other exploration to report. |

| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
Appropriate plans for further work are provided in the body of the report. |
