Gold System Discovery at Goodbody
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 (Figure 2) (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 26 February 2024).

Air-core drilling
AC drilling was undertaken at the Goodbody West prospect to test the down-dip extension of surface mineralisation defined through geological mapping and surface sampling completed in 2023. This exploration work by Dalaroo has identified outcropping, WNW-trending mineralised quartz veins (up to 6.25g/t Au) over 200m strike, hosted within a metasedimentary rock package comprising pelitic schist, chert, ironstone, and BIF (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 28 November 2022). Veins at surface are typically developed parallel to foliation and locally contain ferruginous oxide phases.
A program of 19 AC holes (867m) was completed on five north-south traverses covering 300m strike, to a maximum vertical depth of 42m (Figure 3) (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024).

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 silica-sericite (+/- hematite-carbonate) alteration. Veins contain variable quantities of ironstone and gossanous sulphide. Primary sulphides are not preserved at the shallow drilled depths.

==> picture [141 x 99] intentionally omitted <==
Higher gold grades, up to 1.83g/t (drill-hole LRAC047) are typically associated with sulphide-bearing quartz veins. However, broad widths of anomalous mineralisation (e.g. 21m @ 0.21g/t Au in drillhole LRAC048) may also integrate alteration zones adjacent to vein sets (Figure 4). Significant Arsenic (As) anomalism, up to 1420ppm is also associated with gold mineralisation (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 16 April 2024).

Turbo Well gold
A new gold prospect has been defined at Turbo Well with gold-in-soil anomalism extending over a strike length of 2km, adjacent to a regional ESE structural trend (Figure 5). A peak value of 47ppb Au is defined from results of both historical soil sampling and follow-up sampling by Dalaroo during 2023 (refer DAL ASX Announcements from 9 November 2023). Maiden drill testing will be completed over Turbo Well, as when a suitable drill rig becomes available.

Next Steps
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 at Goodbody West.

Browns : Pb-Zn-Ag-Cu
Emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) /Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) Deposit Setting
Dalaroo has completed a deep diamond drilling program at its Browns prospect, Lyons River Project. The diamond drill program was partly funded by the Exploration Incentive Scheme sponsored by the Government of Western Australia with a grant for an amount of up to $180,000.
Dalaroo believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (“BHT”) / Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting. The Browns Prospect is one of six Pb-Zn soil geochemical prospects identified at Lyons River within a Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area of 30km by 10km (Figure 6).
AC drilling completed during 2022 has highlighted the prospectivity for discovery of a significant BHT-SEDEX-style deposit at Browns prospect. Evidence that Pb-Zn-Ag mineralizing fluids have circulated at the basin-wide scale five kilometres east from the already drilled Four Corners Prospect strongly supports this theory. This leads Dalaroo to the conclusion there may be multiple base metal deposits to be defined at our Lyons River Project.
Four deep diamond core holes have tested a highly prospective and a very compelling Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target covering an area of 3km X 2km. Shallow AC drilling completed during second half of 2022 has delineated Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation with results of 10m @ 1.04% Pb, 0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m , including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m.
Diamond drilling and analysis of core samples will:
-
Highlight the geological transition to more pyritic and phyllosilicate-rich units identified at the southern limits of the tested area (from 80m depth in LRAC021). This is interpreted to represent a transition in the pre-metamorphic protolith stratigraphy to lower energy sedimentary units, considered more prospective for base metal deposits. The current diamond drilling will investigate and test southwards into this domain, which also coincides with the “trough” structure epicentre (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 14 February 2023). This was identified from detailed gravity survey plus airborne magnetics geophysical data (Figure 6).
-
Confirm the presence of economic Pb-Zn-Ag mineralisation at the Browns Prospect at Lyons River in the Gascoyne Province.

Browns Pb-Zn-Ag Prospectivity and Potential
The Browns Prospect 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. Two phases of AC drill programs by Dalaroo at the Browns Prospect have tested a very compelling broad Pb-Zn soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080 Zn ppm) covering an area of 3km X 2km, associated with extensive iron-rich and high-grade gossanous material at surface with results of up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag .
Detailed gravity work has complemented historical surveys by BHP and show a coincident gravity low suggesting an area of possible deepening basin development. An interpreted sub-basin fold or trough structure at Browns may represent a deeper portion of the paleo-basin architecture and a favourable environment for the formation of prospective host stratigraphy (Figure 7).
Dalaroo’s AC drill programs at Browns have been successful in intersecting zones of interbedded psammitic to pelitic lithologies together with multiple zones of disseminated base metal sulphides such as galena and sphalerite. More than 800m of strike length lead-zinc mineralisation has been outlined at Browns which remains open in all directions (Figure 3). Ag intercepts are coincident with Pb and Zn assays and further support the presence of BHT/SEDEX-style of mineralisation (Figure 4).

==> picture [141 x 99] intentionally omitted <==
AC drilling programs have intersected thick zones of variably-pyritic, biotite-quartz gneiss, likely representing metamorphosed shales, and found to be enriched in silver, returning 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m and 16m @ 1.43g/t Ag from 68m (Figures 3 and 4) and has outlined the footprint of the Pb-Zn-Ag mineralized system at Browns to approximately 400m in thickness at its central portion. Significant Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts of 10m @ 1.04% Pb, 0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m (LRAC010) Including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m and 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m adds weight to this thesis .

Namban Project
The Manning Prospect is located 150km north of Perth and 90km north of Chalice Mining’s world class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project (Figure 9).
A diamond drill program partly funded by Dalaroo’s successful application in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) sponsored by the Government of Western Australia (grant was for an amount of up to $175,000, structured as a contribution towards 50% of direct drilling cost) was designed to test large Ni-Cu-PGE+Au geochemical anomalies (Pd soil anomaly with a peak value of 28ppb coincident with Cu peak value of 605ppm and Ni peak value of 206ppm) covering an area of 2km X 0.5km that are coincident with Induced Polarisation (IP) anomalies with high chargeability values of up to 40 mV/V. Elevated copper, gold and silver assays up to 0.11% Cu, 0.61g/t Au and 14.5g/t Ag* were intersected in the drilling program (Figure 8).

Next Steps at Namban
Given the significant size of the surface geochemical anomalism (Ni-Cu-PGE*+Au) outlined (measuring 2km X 0.5km) at the Manning Prospect and only four holes drilled using Dalaroo’s successful grant under the EIS $175,000, further exploration work is warranted. Future work at the Manning Prospect will include ground gravity surveys, which are expected to complement and expand upon the existing geochemical and geophysical datasets which have helped to delineate encouraging sulphide copper and gold mineralisation.
Gravity surveys will provide additional insight through mapping the local density variation and potentially define deep seated intrusions or sources to the base metal mineralisation and differentiate prospective mafic and gabbroic units from the more recent Proterozoic dolerite dykes which trend through the project and provide targets for potential follow up drill programs.
New Projects
Dalaroo may in the future assess and identify tenements/new projects which it may seek to apply for, acquire or earn into which the Board considers are complimentary to Dalaroo’s existing Namban and Lyons River projects and have the potential to create further value for.

Sweet Spots for BHTs/ SEDEXs
Geoscience Australia’s 2019 study, using surface wave tomography and a parameterisation for anelasticity at seismic frequencies shows 85% of world’s sediment hosted base metal deposits occur within 200km of the edges of thick lithosphere. The Australian model shows striking correlation between major sediment hosted deposits and edge of thick lithosphere, defined by 170km lithosphere-aesthenosphere boundary (LAB) contour. Lyons River is located 156km away from the 170km LAB contour (Figure 11).
