Quarterly Activities Report For Period Ended 31 December 2022


Highlights

Lyons River in the Gascoyne Region of Western Australia

Base Metals – Browns

  • High-grade base metal and silver rock chip results returned following geological reconnaissance at Browns prospect (up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag ).

  • Mineralized rock chips from gossanous units, interpreted to represent surface expression of sulphide Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation intersected in first-pass AC drilling July 2022 (significant intercepts include 8m @ 1.1% Pb and 2.50g/t Ag).

  • Focussed AC drill program to test a compelling 2km long X 1km size lead-zinc-silver BHT target undertaken. Results from the AC drill program expected during March Quarter 2023.

Gold - Goodbody

  • Step-out soil sampling at Goodbody prospect extends Au-anomalous soil footprint to 3km strike length with delineation of three highly anomalous Au-in-soils centres (>10 ppb Au zones) within the broader anomalous Au footprint adjacent to historic 6.25g/t Au quartz vein rock chip sample.

REE & Li

  • Robust Rare Earth Elements (“REE”) soil anomalies outlined at Marloo River prospect: up to 1278 ppm TREO. Pegmatite sampling within REE anomalous zone returns 0.89% TREO in rock chips at Marloo River.

  • Large primary pegmatite swarm spanning a 9km x 6km area (referred to as the View Hill Pegmatite Zone) identified; and numerous smaller pegmatite swarms within major regional structural corridor.

  • Anomalous first-pass rock chip sample assays from View Hill indicate fertility for rare metal pegmatites, with assays returning: 114 ppm Li, 1638 ppm Rb, 187 ppm Nb and 182 ppm Sn.

  • Considerable potential to expand REE/Li footprint at Lyons River.

Namban in the Wheatbelt Region of Western Australia

PGE-Ni-Cu-Au

  • Dalaroo awarded $175,000 through a successful application for the Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) funded by the Government of Western Australia.

  • Five diamond drill holes will test the significant Manning PGE-Cu-Ni-Au geochemical anomalies.

  • Recently defined IP anomalies with high chargeability values of up to 30 mV/V correlate well with PGE-Ni-Cu-Au geochemistry.

  • Diamond drilling to commence upon completion of the West Australian 2022 harvest season in March Quarter 2023.

Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL , “Dalaroo” or “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on its activities during the December Quarter 2022.

Lyons River Project

Dalaroo’s Lyons River Project is a strategic (100% owned) land position of 703 km[2] within the Proterozoic Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province of Western Australia. The Company believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) deposit setting.

Browns - Pb-Zn-Ag

Browns was targeted as one of six significant base metal (Pb-Zn) anomalies in soils identified across the 100% owned Lyons River project through staged systematic soil geochemical surveys. Browns represents the second site of Pb-Zn-Ag intersections discovered by bedrock drilling in the Mutherbukin Zone, 5km east of Dalaroo’s Four Corners Pb-Zn-Ag prospect (Figure 1). Combined, the anomalous soil base metal zones span a 30km x 10km area of Paleoproterozoic basin stratigraphy within the Mutherbukin Zone, Gascoyne Province.

The ferruginous and gossanous rock units hosting the anomalous rock chip samples reported were discovered during recent geological site inspections of the Browns July 2022 AC drill zone. During this field work, geologists identified previously unsampled ironstone/ferruginous and locally gossanous rock units and float rock over a strike of approximately 60m, within the vicinity of drillholes intersecting Pb,

Zn and/or Ag mineralization (Figure 2). These units have returned the highly anomalous base metal values up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and silver up to 82g/t Ag.

Figure 2: Location of recent rock chip samples. Mineralized trend over 800 m remains open. Planned AC drill holes. Note southern Browns untested anomalous Zn geochemical trend coinciding with interpreted fold structure, outlined by 1st Vertical Derivative Bouger Anomaly Gravity basemap.

First pass AC drill program completed in the September Quarter 2022 had only tested the northern part of the 2km x 1km zone of Pb-Zn soil/rock chip anomalism at Browns. Early geological interpretation of the recent drilling results and the available gravity and magnetics data outline an interpreted sub-basin fold or trough structure south of current drilling (Figure 2). Such a structure may represent a deeper portion of the paleo-basin architecture and a favourable environment for formation of prospective host stratigraphy. Significantly, this interpreted structure spatially coincides with elevated lead and zinc in soil and high-grade ironstone/gossanous subcrops.

The Company’s follow up AC drill program during December Quarter 2022 at the Browns prospect was designed to test the following:

  • Up dip and step out from LRAC010 significant intersection of 8m of 1.1% Pb and 2.5g/t Ag;

  • • Northern limb of interpreted synclinal fold closure defined by detailed gravity, coincident with NW-striking and stratigraphy-parallel trend of anomalous Pb-Zn in soils and rock chips from outcropping ferruginous bands (see Figure 2);

  • A NE-trending structural feature adjacent to drilled Pb-Zn-Ag mineralized intercepts, interpreted from gravity/magnetic and aerial imagery datasets; and

  • Untested discrete Zn-in-soil anomalism.

Goodbody – Gold

The Goodbody gold prospect was defined in April 2022 from a review of Dalaroo’s 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). A peak value of 93ppb Au was returned from the now named Goodbody Central target. Rock chip sampling at Goodbody was carried out by Audalia Resources Limited (ASX: ACP) during 2014 to 2015 [1 & 2] , with anomalous Au results of 0.40g/t, 0.32g/t, 3.17g/t, and 6.25g/t returned from low-lying ferruginous quartz vein outcrops at the now named Goodbody West target (Figure 3).

Figure 3 : Goodbody gold prospect soil anomaly map, including newly defined discrete Au anomaly targets Goodbody West, Goodbody Central and Goodbody East. Overlaid on greyscale Total Magnetic Intensity (TMI) 1VD basemap.

Dalaroo completed infill and step-out soil sampling at its newly identified Goodbody gold prospect, in the western part of the Lyons River Project. The 3 km long trend comprises three higher strength anomalous zones (>10 ppb Au), forming separate sub-targets within the Goodbody prospect; Goodbody West, Goodbody Central, and Goodbody East (Table 1). The Goodbody Central and Goodbody East targets form discrete high strength anomalies within a 3km long continuous trend of >2 ppb Au-in-soils (Figure 3).

Table 1: Summary features of discrete Au anomalies (targets) within the Goodbody prospect.

Target >10 ppb Au-in-soil
anomaly strike length
Peak Au-in-soil value Peak Au rock chip value
GoodbodyWest >250 metres 54ppb 6.25g/t
GoodbodyCentral >200 metres 93ppb untested
GoodbodyEast >200 metres 24ppb untested

The anomalous Au-in-soil footprint displays an apparent east-west orientation, sub-parallel to the local structural-stratigraphic trends and major WNW-striking regional shear zones in the district, which transect the Lyons River Project and wider Gascoyne Province (Figure 4). The Geological Survey of Western Australia interpret such structures to represent major crustal shear zones and tectonic boundaries.

It is noted that high-strength soil anomalies associated with the Goodbody West, Central and East targets spatially coincide with the location of intersections between interpreted WNW-striking structures and NNE-trending structures (Figures 3 and 4). Conceptually, structural intersection zones represent potentially intensified deformation areas that may be associated with favourable sites of hydrothermal fluid movement and gold mineralization. As such, the Goodbody Au targets are considered high priority for follow-up exploration work.

Continued review of historical geological mapping and sampling has also led to recognition of an additional early-stage gold prospect within the Lyons River Project, referred to as the Alpha Au prospect, situated 13km southeast of the Goodbody Au prospect. Alpha was first identified during geological reconnaissance rock chip sampling by Audalia Resources Limited in 2014, with a ferruginous quartz vein returning 0.37g/t Au. Significantly, the Alpha prospect is situated in proximity to, and within the interpreted wider deformation domain of, the same major regional WNW-striking shear zone that is associated with the Goodbody prospect; with Goodbody to the north, and Alpha to the south, of this major structural corridor (Figure 4). To date no soil sampling or ground reconnaissance for gold at the Alpha prospect has been completed.

REE & Li

Systematic soil geochemical sampling and recent geological reconnaissance relating to Rare Earth Elements (“ REE” ) prospectivity and pegmatite-associated Li in the Lyons River Project, with numerous pegmatite swarms have been confirmed and geochemical sampling completed at the Marloo River and View Hill prospect areas.

REE results of 0.89% TREO from the newly outlined Marloo River prospect. Rock chip samples of pegmatites in the View Hill zone returning up to 114 ppm Li, 1638 ppm Rb, 187 ppm Nb and 182 ppm Sn, suggest the pegmatites in this district are fertile for potential rare metal pegmatite associated mineralization.

Marloo REE and Li Potential

At Marloo River, an initial soil sampling campaign (100m x 250m sample spacing) has revealed zones of elevated REEs (up to 1278 ppm TREO) and Li (up to 93.5 ppm; Figure 5). These anomalies are associated with feldspar-muscovite-quartz-dominant pegmatites with locally biotite-rich zones, that have intruded a micaceous pelitic schist package, likely of sedimentary rock origin.

Within the vicinity of soil samples containing >1000 ppm TREO and >90 ppm Li, an outcropping feldsparbiotite-rich pegmatite body was rock chip sampled (sample 2310AR_002) and returned assay values of 0.89% TREO and 215 ppm Li. In the northern extents of the Marloo River prospect area, a single soil line extension revealed 842 ppm TREO in soils that remains open to the west and east (Figure 5). Pegmatite outcrops extending over hundreds of metres have also been observed in this area.

View Hill Lithium Potential

Dalaroo’s lithium anomalous rock chip results targets are located approximately 22km south-west of the Yinnetharra Lithium Project. The Yinnetharra Lithium Project was recently acquired by Red Dirt Metals Ltd (ASX: RDT) for an initial purchase price consideration of AUD15 million, following significant drill intersections that included 23m @ 1.02% Li2O (ASX: RDT -See ASX: Announcement from 12 September 2022).

Figure 5: Lyons River Project – Marloo River and location of anomalous TREO geochemical results, and View Hill with location of samples indicating fertile pegmatite and granite areas.

Pegmatites in the Yinnetharra district form part of the intrusive Thirty Three Supersuite (“TTS”), which comprises granite, granitic pegmatites (microcline-muscovite-tourmaline) and rare-metal pegmatites. The recent field mapping has confirmed that the granites and pegmatites of the TTS have also intruded the host stratigraphy of the Lyons River Project tenements.

Selective reconnaissance rock chip sampling completed at View Hill of the granitic pegmatites has demonstrated whole rock geochemistry that is considered high fertility for LCT-type pegmatites associated with Li mineralization (Figure 6). Assays from the pegmatite swarm that extends across a 9km X 6km area have returned highly anomalous values of 114 ppm Li, 1638 ppm Rb, 187 ppm Nb and 182 ppm Sn. Rock chip sampling of pegmatites in other targeted pegmatite swarm areas, west of View Hill, has returned significant Ta and Nb values of 116 ppm and 329 ppm respectively with anomalous Rb of 904 ppm.

Next Steps at Lyons River

Browns – Pb-Zn-Ag

Browns is a compelling 2km long x 1km size lead-zinc-silver BHT target. Geological interpretation of the September Quarter 2022 AC drilling results and the available gravity and magnetics data have outlined an interpreted sub-basin fold or trough structure south of current drilling which may represent a deeper portion of the paleo-basin architecture favourable environment for BHT base metal deposits.

Further AC drilling is proposed for the untested southern portion of sub-basin fold or trough structure during June Quarter 2023 once approvals have been received.

Goodbody – gold target

Dalaroo proposes to complete geological reconnaissance, rock sampling and prospect-scale geological mapping of the Goodbody prospect in the March Quarter 2023. This will provide important geological and structural context for the Goodbody Au mineralized system and aim to locate in-situ Au-mineralized structures and rock units associated with the soil anomalism.

The main Goodbody gold anomalous footprint remains open and poorly defined for several hundred metres west of the Goodbody West target and east of the Goodbody East target. Additionally, in a weaker anomalous zone in the northern extents of the prospect area, a 22 ppb Au sample remains open to the north.

----- End of picture text -----

==> picture [141 x 99] intentionally omitted <==

Follow-up soil sampling will step-out from these unconstrained anomalous sample sites and explore for further continuities of Au-elevated soils. First-pass soil sampling is proposed for the Alpha Au prospect 13km southeast and approximately along-trend of Goodbody. The combination of results from these programs will assist in the targeting and design for next phase of exploration during 2023.

REE and Li

At Marloo River, detailed mapping and representative rock chip sampling of pegmatites will be completed across the prospect area. Whole rock geochemistry of the various pegmatite bodies and any significant internal zonation may then be assessed for a potentially large scale rare metal mineralization system at Marloo River. Additionally, in the northern extents of the prospect area, step out soil sampling will be carried out adjacent to the >700 ppm TREO soil anomaly identified in the sampling to date (Figure 6).

In the View Hill pegmatite zone, regional scale north-south oriented 100m-spaced soil sampling transects is underway to assess geochemical zonation and, therefore, trends in fertility and rare metal/Li prospectivity across the large 9km x 6km area. It is expected that definition of such geochemical trends will aid in vectoring towards high-grade rare metal mineralization at the deposit scale.

Namban Project

The Namban Project is located approximately 150km north-northeast of Perth, adjacent to the regional centre of Moora in Western Australia, in the newly defined Yilgarn Ni-Cu Province (Figure 8).

Dalaroo’s application has been successful in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (“EIS”) funded by the Government of Western Australia. The grant will co-fund drill testing of a compelling PGE-Ni-CuAu mineralisation target at Dalaroo’s Manning prospect. The grant is for an amount of up to $175,000 from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (“DMIRS”), structured as a contribution towards 50% of direct drilling costs at the Manning prospect.

Next Steps at Namban

Manning

The Company plans to drill five diamond core holes at Manning and the EIS-funded drilling is expected to confirm the presence of magmatic hosted PGE-Ni-Cu-Au and hydrothermal deposits north of Goneville/Julimar and the recent discovery of Au-Cu mineralisation at Angepena, Mynt and Zest located 10km to the south-east. This work will provide important information on the stratigraphy, lithologies and alteration assemblages related to the identified geochemical and geophysical anomalism at Manning, subsequently, expanding the current understanding of controls on magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE-Au and hydrothermal/structural hosted mineralisation in this district.

A Programme of Work for the diamond drill programme has been approved by DMIRS and Dalaroo has entered into a land access agreement with the local farmer for the granting of surface mineral rights.

Watheroo

In addition, Dalaroo proposes to undertake systematic geochemical sampling over the prominent 7km long by 3km wide magnetic anomaly considered to represent a mafic intrusive and thought to be a “Chonolith” prospective for Ni-Cu deposits once land access agreements and approvals are in place.
