Copper potential

High grade copper assay results of 54.8% coupled with silver grades of 80g/t have been returned from rock chip sampling program over the Browns base metal prospect (Figures 2). Gossanous outcrops sampled to the east of the AC drilled area have returned lead (Pb) values of up to 0.53% complemented by anomalous zinc (1140ppm) and copper (420ppm) at the Lyons River Project (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 31 October 2023).

A rock chip sampling program at the expanded 3.5km X 2km Browns base metal Pb-Zn-Ag prospect has returned high grade copper with assay results of up to 54.8% at Lyons River (Figure 2). Copper assays of 1.64% have also been recorded from rock chip sampling previously completed at the Four Corners prospect located 5km to the west of Browns (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 16 March 2022).

Previous historical shallow RC drill program in 2008 at Four Corners returned an intersection of 3m @ 0.50% Cu including 1m @ 0.92% Cu from 56m, with mineralisation associated chalcopyrite (Figure 3) (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 16 March 2022). Copper assay results from both Browns and Four Corners prospects are accompanied by silver assays of 80.0g/t and 21.5g/t respectively,

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 (Figure 4). Two phases of AC drilling at the Browns Prospect tested a very compelling broad Pb-Zn soil and rock chip geochemical anomaly (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080ppm Zn) covering an area of 3.5km X 2.5km, 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 (Refer DAL ASX Announcement from 15 November 2022).

Detailed gravity work has complemented historical surveys by BHP and shows 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 formation of prospective host stratigraphy (Figure 5). (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 25 July 2022 and 15 November 2022).

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 5). Ag intercepts are coincident with Pb and Zn assays and further support the presence of BHT/SEDEX-style of mineralisation (Figure 6).

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 6) and has outlined the footprint of the Pb-Zn-Ag mineralized system at the Browns prospect to approximately 400m in thickness in 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. (Refer DAL ASX Announcement from 14 February 2023).

AC drilling undertaken highlights the prospectivity of the area and possibility of discovering a significant BHT-SEDEX-style deposit at Browns prospect. Evidence that lead-zinc-silver mineralizing fluids have circulated at the basin-wide scale five kilometres east from the already drilled Four Corners Prospect supports this theory. This leads to the conclusion there may be multiple base metal deposits at the Lyons River Project.

Goodbody gold

Gold mineralization in outcropping quartz veins at the Goodbody West Prospect has been bolstered by recent results from further systematic sampling (Figures 7 and 8). Infill soil sampling has outlined robust gold in soil anomalies with peak gold values of 132 ppb Au at Goodbody West, 93ppb Au at Goodbody Central and 50ppb Au at Goodbody East, complemented by outcropping, mineralized, gold-rich quartz veins. The footprint of the gold mineralized rock-chips within the broader Goodbody Prospect lie within a broader, 6km long, gold in soil anomaly at 2ppb threshold (Figure 7).

At Goodbody infill and close spaced systematic soil sampling completed has defined the following:

  • Goodbody West gold in soil anomaly above 10ppb Au has been defined over a strike length of 450m.

  • Goodbody Central gold in soil anomaly above 10ppb Au has been defined over a strike length of 300m.

  • Goodbody East gold in soil anomaly above 10ppb Au has been defined over a strike length of 500m.

The sampled quartz veins are typically 5-30cm thick and are comprised of mainly quartz with minor biotite and locally, ferruginous oxide phases. They form sub-parallel to the pervasive structural fabric within foliation planes and commonly contain internal breccia zones consisting of Fe-oxide and silicarich matrices, surrounding fragmented quartz vein clasts. The samples were composed of either vein material, the adjacent wall rocks, or a combination of both. At Goodbody West, gold concentrations including 1.42g/t, 1.70g/t and 5.52g/t (Figure 7) have been returned from Dalaroo’s sampling of a particular set of quartz veins, hosted within a metasedimentary rock package comprising pelitic schist, siliceous chert, ironstone and BIF-style units. Historic rock chip sampling of quartz veins in this area returned up to 6.25g/t Au. In the Goodbody Central target area, pelitic schists are the dominant host rocks but zones of iron-oxide-rich, siliceous vein breccias and quartz-biotite-altered wall rocks are also prevalent (e.g. sample 230105_23, 0.48g/t Au). (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 1 February 2023).

It is noted that high-tenor soil anomalies and multiple rock-chip assays up to 5.52g/t Au (5520 ppb Au) associated with the Goodbody West, Central and East targets spatially coincide with intersections between interpreted WNW and NNE-trending structures (Figures 7 and 8). Such structural intersection zones represent potential zones of intensified deformation, that may be associated with favourable sites of hydrothermal fluid movement and gold mineralization. As such, the Goodbody gold targets are considered high priority for follow-up exploration work. (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 28 November 2022 and 1 February 2023).

Turbo Well

A new gold target 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 9). A peak value of 47ppb Au is defined from results of both historical soil sampling and follow-up sampling by Dalaroo this year (Refer DAL ASX Announcements from 9 November 2023).

Lithium

Dalaroo executed a binding agreement ( Sale Agreement ) with Delta Lithium Limited ( ASX: DLI or Delta Lithium ) to sell the rights to lithium, caesium and tantalum minerals ( Lithium Minerals ) at its Lyons River Project ( Lithium Mineral Rights ). The consideration of $1,000,000 for the transaction comprised $500,000 in cash and $500,000 of DLI ordinary shares. In addition to the consideration, Delta Lithium must expend a minimum of 50% of the annual statutory expenditure requirements on the Lyons River Project tenements (a commitment of $280,000 per annum at the date of the Sale Agreement) for a period of 3 years from Completion. The Company will still retain ownership of the Lyons River Project tenure (Table 1) and hold rights to all other metals and minerals apart from the Lithium Minerals (Refer ASX announcement dated 1 December 2023).

During the December Quarter 2023 follow-up/infill soil geochemistry, completed on a 200m X 100m pattern (first pass sampling was completed on lines 1km X 100m) was conducted at Dalaroo’s View Hill prospect.

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

A total of 813 soil samples were collected. One of the lithium targets (3km long and 0.5km) had a peak value of 334 ppm Li2O and is comparable to lithium anomalism obtained by Dalaroo’s neighbours (Refer MI6 ASX Announcement dated 25 July 2023 and 10 October 2023). Importantly, the lithium targets lie within the large pegmatite cluster measuring 9km X 6km in the eastern part of the project, where pegmatites up to 100m wide and 3km long have been mapped. The significant lithium anomalism outlined to date remains open to the south, west and east (Figures 10 and 11).

Structural mapping within the Lyons River Project identified several major shear zones, each over 30km long and 6km wide, that formed during the Neoproterozoic Edmundian Orogeny. This orogeny was the fundamental driver of deformation along the nearby Ti Tree Shear Zone, and it was responsible for the emplacement of spodumene pegmatites in the Yinnetharra District, which are now the focus of Delta Lithium’s resource drilling activity. Pegmatites emplaced during the Edmundian Orogeny are associated with granite intrusions of the Thirty Three Supersuite (TTS) and recent mapping has confirmed that intrusive rocks of the TTS were also emplaced within shear zones at the Lyons River Project (Figure 12). The TTS intrusions comprise granite stocks and granitic pegmatite (microcline-quartz-muscovitetourmaline).

Rock chip sampling completed to date of outcropping pegmatites at View Hill has confirmed whole rock geochemistry considered highly fertile for LCT-type pegmatites (Refer ASX Announcement from 1 December 2022) and Table 2. 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.

Next Steps at Lyons River

Gold

With the completion of the heritage surveys over Goodbody West, Goodbody Central and Goodbody East and POW approvals in place, a focused air-core and/or shallow RC drill program is proposed to take place in February 2024. Further systematic soil sampling is proposed at the 2km strike length Turbo Well prospect. In addition, rock-chip sampling will be undertaken of outcropping quartz veins to outline the surface expression of the gold mineralisation.

Copper/Pb-Zn-Ag

Dalaroo proposes to carry out a Dipole-Dipole Induced Polarisation (DDIP) geophysical surveys in the next phase of exploration. The goal of these surveys will be the delineation of a mineralised body at depth that possesses not just the surface geochemical signature, but also the geophysical properties characteristic of a significant BHT/SEDEX deposit and copper mineralisation in the Browns Prospect area prior to the EIS diamond drill program (Figure 2). ( Refer DAL ASX – Announcements from 26 April 2023).

Deeper diamond drilling is expected to allow a better understanding of the geological transition to more pyritic and phyllosilicate-rich units identified at the southern limits of the drill tested area interpreted to represent a transition in the pre-metamorphic protolith stratigraphy to lower energy sedimentary units, considered more prospective for BHT/SEDEX type deposits.

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 13).

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 28 ppb coincident with Cu peak value of 605 ppm and Ni peak value of 206 ppm) 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, 0.61 g/t Au and 14.5 g/t Ag* were intersected in the drilling program.

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.

About the Lyons River Project

Lyons River Project is located approximately 1,100km north of Perth and approximately 220km to the north-east of the coastal town of Carnarvon, Western Australia (Figure 8). It lies within the Mutherbukin Zone of the Gascoyne Province, which is the deformed and high-grade metamorphic core zone of the early Proterozioc Capricorn Orogen an emerging lithium and rare earth element hotspot.

The Project comprises approximately 740km[2] of the Durlacher Super Suite and Halfway Gneiss, transected by major NW-trending shear zones. 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 14).

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 lithosphereaesthenosphere boundary (LAB) contour. Lyons River is located 156km away from the 170km LAB contour (Figure 15).
