Jay Stepenson[3] as Company Secretary
-
John Morgan[4] as CEO
During the quarter, Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL , “Dalaroo” or “Company”) advanced its strategic growth initiatives in West Africa through continued due diligence and technical evaluation of prospective gold exploration permits in Côte d’Ivoire and progressed its broader exploration footprint following the acquisition of the Blue Lagoon critical minerals project in Greenland.
Côte d’Ivoire Gold Projects
In October 2025, the Company entered into a binding agreement to acquire four gold projects in Côte d’Ivoire from Red Rock Exploration, expanding its West African exploration footprint with a combined total tenure area of approximately 1,368 km² comprising[5] :
-
Djekanou (granted)
-
Yamoussoukro (granted)
-
Kokoumbo (application)
-
Molonou (application)
During the rest of the quarter the in-country geology team focused on the following work:
-
Completion of ongoing due diligence workstreams and technical reviews across the four permits in central Côte d’Ivoire.
-
The in-country geology team has commenced technical review and preliminary exploration planning across the permit areas.
-
Initial exploration programs are being developed, with field activities expected to commence in 2026, subject to regulatory approvals, permitting and operational considerations.
-
The Company has agreed with the vendor to extend the settlement date under the acquisition agreement to complete remaining due diligence, execute definitive agreements and satisfy regulatory and corporate conditions.

Blue Lagoon Zr-Nb-Ree Project – Greenland
During the quarter, Dalaroo advanced its maiden exploration program at the Blue Lagoon Project in southern Greenland, marking the Company’s first on-ground exploration activities at the project. This field program represents the first phase of systematic, modern exploration undertaken across the project area and establishes a strong technical foundation for future work.
A comprehensive suite of samples collected during the 2025 field season were securely transported from Denmark to ALS Laboratories in Perth for multi-element analysis using industry-standard fusion digestion and ICP-MS techniques. These analytical methods provide high-precision, low detection-limit results suitable for assessment of rare earth
==> picture [594 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
elements (REE) , zirconium (Zr) and niobium (Nb) . This work represents a critical step in generating modern, JORCcompliant datasets to support target ranking, resource definition and future development planning.
The completed program was designed to test shoreline and lagoonal environments for grain-size distribution and REE enrichment, with the objective of assessing the potential for natural upgrading through weathering and sedimentary processes. The program also sought to vector potential primary source areas and define priority follow-up targets.

The Company completed the transfer of ownership for the Blue Lagoon Project with Ox Resources , marking entry into Greenland’s critical minerals sector. This acquisition provides access to rare earth elements, zirconium, and niobium, aligning with global energy transition needs and supporting long-term growth in a stable jurisdiction.
During the quarter, the technical team reviewed data and planned exploration, integrating historical and recent results to refine models and prioritize targets.
Planning for the 2026 exploration season began this quarter and will continue into early 2026 as Dalaroo finalizes its program. Key exploration activities are under consideration.

Key Exploration Pathway being considered for 2026.
Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)
A GPR survey is scheduled to measure sediment depth and analyse the layers beneath key shoreline and lagoon areas. The results will help identify possible heavy mineral sand deposits and inform the selection of future drilling sites.
Follow-up Auger Drilling
Targeted auger drilling will go deeper than previous samples to assess grade continuity and the vertical spread of mineralisation. This will help evaluate the scale and consistency of anomalous zones found in the initial program.
Expanded Geochemical Sampling
Geochemical sampling will extend into upslope regions and areas of hard rock to gain a clearer understanding of the main mineral sources contributing to surface systems. The goal of this work is to determine if there are bedrock influences on mineralisation and to highlight the most promising locations for drilling.
In-field XRF Analysis
Handheld XRF units will be used next season for quick sample screening, supporting efficient real-time decisions and better sample selection.
Geological analysis, 3D modelling, and metallurgical testing will inform processing options. Dalaroo will coordinate with Greenland's regulators to ensure permits and environmental compliance throughout the project.

Subsequent to the close of the quarter, Dalaroo received the full suite of assay results from the 2025 exploration season. These results returned encouraging outcomes across several areas, confirming the presence of significant rare earth element and critical mineral anomalism within the Blue Lagoon Project. The results provide strong validation of the Company’s initial geological interpretations and highlight multiple zones of interest that warrant follow-up work in the 2026 field season. The positive geochemical signatures, combined with extensive surface mineralisation observed across the project area, continue to reinforce the project’s potential to host a near-surface, placer-style REE system amenable to low-cost exploration and development pathways.
-
Total Rare Earth Oxide (TREO) values returned up to 0.81%
-
Low uranium and thorium values relative to REE grades.
-
Exceptional high-grade Zirconium Oxide (ZrO2) and Hafnium Oxide (HfO2
-
4.42% ZrO2 & 98ppm HfO2
-
4.09% ZrO2 & 99ppm HfO2
-
Magnet RARE Earth Oxides (MERO)
-
8,079 ppm TREO with 29% MREO
-
6,491 ppm TREO with 27% MREO
-
Heavy Rare Earth Oxides (HREO)
-
886ppm HREO
-
752ppm HREO
These exceptional REE grades were encountered at surface, consistently over the entire ~2.7km strike. With the natural weathering having enriched the REE into beach-like alluvial sediments – indicating potential for a proximal placer style REE deposit , where REE grains have been freely-liberated and has the potential to produce a REE concentrate through low CAPEX, simple physical separation methods .
==> picture [594 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
Sampling returned low uranium values , with a maximum reading of 25 ppm U₃O₈ , well below Greenland’s 100 ppm uranium permitting threshold. This materially reduces regulatory risk and is a major technical and permitting advantage for project development.
Western Australia
No field activities were undertaken during the quarter on the Lyons or Namban Projects. Tenement maintenance continued.
Corporate
During the quarter, Dalaroo Metals Limited undertook a number of key corporate initiatives to strengthen leadership and governance in support of the Company’s growth strategy.
The Company announced the appointment of John Morgan as Chief Executive Officer , bringing extensive technical and leadership experience in mineral exploration and project development across multiple jurisdictions. Mr Morgan’s appointment reflects the Board’s commitment to building a strong executive team to drive the Company’s strategic objectives across its gold and critical minerals portfolio.
In addition, Tim Wither was appointed as a Non-Executive Director , adding further depth of experience in corporate governance, capital markets and resources sector leadership. His appointment strengthens the Board’s oversight capabilities as the Company advances its growth strategy.
Jay Stephenson was appointed as Company Secretary , enhancing the Company’s corporate governance framework and ensuring continued compliance with ASX listing rules and regulatory obligations.
