EIS Co-Funded Drilling Awarded for Goodbody Gold Discovery

Highlights

  • Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) grant of $100,000 awarded Western Australian Government to co-fund maiden diamond drill program at the new Goodbody gold discovery system.

  • Assays from maiden air-core drill program in late February 2024 testing gold-bearing, outcropping quartz veins has outlined gold mineralisation at the Goodbody West prospect, Lyons River Project over a strike length of at least 200m including:

  • LRAC047: 5m @ 0.85g/t Au from 9m including 1m @ 1.83g/t Au from 9m and 1m @ 1.23g/t Au from 12m

  • LRAC049: 1m @ 0.98g/t Au from 3m

  • LRAC051: 1m @ 1.17g/t Au from 19m

  • LRAC052: 19m @ 0.23g/t Au from 24m

  • Gold mineralisation at Goodbody West remains open along strike and at depth.

  • Diamond drill program to build on the highly encouraging results.

  • Drilling to commence once all approvals are in place in the September 2024 Quarter.


Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL , “Dalaroo” or “Company”) is pleased to announce that its application for exploration funding in Round 29 of the Western Australian Government’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) was successful. Dalaroo’s $100,000 EIS grant will be used to co-fund 50% of the direct diamond drilling cost to test its new gold system discovery at Goodbody West at the Company’s Lyons River Project in the Gascoyne Province of Western Australia (Figures 1, 5 and 6).

Dalaroo Managing Director Harjinder Kehal commented:

Dalaroo is very pleased to have been awarded an EIS co-funding grant of $100,000 to undertake a maiden diamond drilling program at its Lyons River – Goodbody West gold Prospect. Diamond drilling to be undertaken at Goodbody pursuant to this grant will greatly enhance our geological knowledge of the structural features controlling gold mineralization at our Lyons River Project.

Technical Commentary

Goodbody gold mineralisation

Gold mineralization has been outlined in outcropping quartz veins at Goodbody within robust gold in soil anomalies with peak gold values of 132ppb Au at Goodbody West, 93ppb Au at Goodbody Central and 50ppb Au at Goodbody East. The footprint of the Goodbody prospects lies within a broader, 6km long, gold in soil anomaly at 2ppb threshold (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 26 February 2024). (Figures 1 and 2). `

AC drill program completed in late February 2024 on five north-south traverses covering 300m strike, to a maximum vertical depth of 42m (Figure 2) returned significant (> 0.1g/t Au) first pass results including (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024):

  • LRAC047 : 5m @ 0.85g/t Au from 9m, including 1m @ 1.83g/t from 9m

  • LRAC048 : 21m @ 0.21g/t Au from 24m, including 1m @ 0.55g/t Au from 26m

  • LRAC049 : 1m @ 0.98g/t from 3m

  • LRAC051 : 7m @ 0.36g/t Au from 17m, including 1m @ 1.17g/t Au from 19m

  • LRAC052 : 19m @ 0.23g/t Au from 24m

Drilling in the eastern part of the Goodbody West prospect, below the main area of outcropping mineralisation, intercepted several zones of sub-parallel, moderately north-dipping quartz veins, within a sequence of pelitic schist and lesser interbedded psammitic rocks. Veins are commonly emplaced within or adjacent to high-strain zones and are encouragingly associated with broad widths of silicasericite (+/- hematite-carbonate) alteration. Veins contain variable quantities of ironstone and gossanous sulphide. Primary sulphides are not preserved at the shallow drilled depths (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024).

Next Steps

Four diamond drill holes for an aggregate 700m are planned (see Figure 3). The identification of sulphide-bearing quartz veins, in association with wide silica-sericite alteration haloes and strong Au-As anomalism from the current shallow levels of drilling are considered indicative of a significant hydrothermal system. Mineralisation remains open at depth and to the east and requires deeper drilling to assess the potential for structurally controlled high-grade zones. It is noted that surface anomalism at Goodbody West coincides with the intersection of WNW and NNE-trending structures (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 8 November 2023). Such intersection zones represent potential sites of intensified deformation and hydrothermal fluid movement and will be a priority for deeper drill targeting using the EIS co-funded diamond drilling at Goodbody West.

About the Lyons River Project

Lyons River comprises a strategic (100% owned) land position of 838km[2] within the Proterozoic age Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province in Western Australia. The Gascoyne Province is a deformed and high-grade metamorphic core zone of the early Proterozoic Capricorn Orogen. Geographically Lyons River is located approximately 1,100km north of Perth and approximately 220 km to the north-east of Carnarvon (Figure 4). Lyons River is prospective for, vein/shear related gold, BHT type mineralised base metals (Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu) and REE deposits (Figure 5).
