ASX ANNOUNCEMENT
ASX: DAL | OTCQB: DALMF 5 May 2026
Dalaroo Metals Secures A$1.75 Million Strategic Placement to Accelerate its Gold and Greenland REE Projects
Investment Highlights
- Dalaroo Metals Ltd has received firm commitments to raise A$1.75 million (before costs) via a placement to sophisticated and professional investors at A$0.075 per share ("Placement").
- Strong support received from new and existing sophisticated and institutional investors.
- Placement positions the Company to accelerate exploration across its high-priority gold and critical minerals portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire and Greenland.
- Funds will support:
- Maiden drill testing at the Bondoukou Gold Project
- Completion of the current soil geochemistry program and auger testing
- Offshore sediment sampling and expanded exploration at the Blue Lagoon Rare Earth Project
- Ongoing project evaluation and working capital.
- 62 Capital Pty Ltd acted as Lead Manager to the Placement.
- Directors to participate for a total of A$320,000 (Bilal Ahmad A$200,000, Faheem Ahmed A$100,000 and Tim Wither A$20,000), subject to shareholder approval at a General Meeting.
Dalaroo Metals Ltd ("Dalaroo" or "the Company") is pleased to announce it has received firm commitments to raise approximately A$1.75 million (before costs) through the issue of 23,333,333 fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of A$0.075 per share, together with 1 free attaching option for every 2 shares applied for.
The Placement strengthens the Company's balance sheet and provides funding to accelerate key exploration activities across its growing portfolio of gold and critical minerals projects.
CEO Comment
John Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, commented:
"This capital raising provides Dalaroo with a strong platform to accelerate exploration across two highly compelling growth fronts.
In Côte d'Ivoire, Bondoukou continues to emerge as a high-priority gold opportunity, with encouraging early results and a clear pathway toward drill testing.
In Greenland, Blue Lagoon continues to demonstrate strong geological potential for sediment-hosted rare earth mineralisation, and the next phase of offshore and deeper sediment sampling will be important in advancing our understanding of the system.
We are pleased with the strong support received under this Placement, which reflects growing confidence in the quality of our portfolio and our ability to unlock value through systematic exploration."

All Placement Shares issued under the Placement will rank equally with the Company's existing fully paid ordinary shares on issue.
62 Capital Pty Ltd acted as Lead Manager to the Placement and will receive a capital raising fee of 6% of the gross proceeds raised under the Placement, together with 4,000,000 options on terms consistent with the Attaching Options ("Lead Manager Options"), to be issued under the Company's available placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Settlement of Tranche 1 of the Placement is expected to occur on or around 18 May 2026, with allotment and commencement of normal trading expected on 22 May 2026. Settlement of Tranche 2 is expected to occur shortly following receipt of shareholder approval at the General Meeting.
Use of Funds
Funds raised under the Placement will be primarily directed toward advancing the Company's high-priority exploration programs across its gold and critical minerals portfolio in Côte d'Ivoire and Greenland.
At the Bondoukou Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire, funds will be applied toward the Company's maiden RC drilling program and follow-up auger drilling aimed at testing priority targets generated from recent reconnaissance mapping, rock chip sampling and the ongoing soil geochemistry program. Additional funding will support continued field mapping and systematic soil sampling at the Bongouanou Project as the Company expands its regional gold exploration footprint.
At the Blue Lagoon Rare Earth Project in Greenland, funds will be directed toward offshore sediment sampling, ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys to better define sediment thickness and basin geometry, expanded auger drilling and follow-up petrological, mineralogical and metallurgical studies aimed at

improving the Company's understanding of mineral hosts, grain size distribution and potential recovery pathways.
The balance of funds raised will be allocated toward working capital, corporate costs and ongoing project generation and evaluation as the Company continues to assess additional growth opportunities across its portfolio.
Project Advancement
Bondoukou Gold Project – Côte d'Ivoire
The Bondoukou Gold Project continues to advance as Dalaroo's near-term gold focus in Côte d'Ivoire, with recent reconnaissance programs confirming extensive artisanal workings over approximately 9.5 kilometres of strike and high-grade rock chip results of up to 17.95g/t Au. Geological mapping has identified a structurally controlled gold system associated with an interpreted antiform, with the highest-grade results concentrated near the hinge zone, supporting the Company's exploration model.
The ongoing soil geochemistry program, currently progressing across priority target areas, is expected to refine drill targeting and support the commencement of the Company's maiden drilling campaign. The planned drilling program is designed to test both shallow oxide and primary mineralised zones within the broader Goldridge Prospect corridor.
Strategically the Bondoukou Gold Project is located approximately 35km from Endeavour Mining's Tanda deposit.
Blue Lagoon Rare Earth Project – Greenland
The Blue Lagoon Rare Earth Project continues to demonstrate strong potential for sediment-hosted rare earth and critical minerals mineralisation within the highly prospective Gardar Alkaline Province of south-west Greenland. Recent exploration programs have confirmed broad anomalous rare earth, zirconium, niobium and hafnium mineralisation across the project area, with fine-fraction enrichment supporting the potential for natural concentration of heavy mineral-bearing sediments.
Surface sampling has returned Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values of up to 0.81% and zirconium oxide (ZrO₂) values of up to 4.42%, highlighting the scale and fertility of the mineralised system. The next phase of exploration will focus on offshore sediment sampling and deeper auger drilling to assess basin-scale sediment accumulation, continuity and potential for higher-grade concentration zones.
Bongouanou Project – Côte d'Ivoire
The Bongouanou Project represents an emerging district-scale gold opportunity within the highly endowed Birimian terrane, where historical exploration has identified extensive gold anomalies and significant drilling intercepts. Subject to permitting progression, Dalaroo plans to commence field mapping and systematic soil geochemistry programs to validate historical datasets and generate drill-ready targets as part of its broader Côte d'Ivoire growth strategy.
