High-order PGE* results from initial geochemical sampling at Namban Project, WA

Highlights

  • Strong PGE-Ni-Cu geochemical anomalism (Cattady anomaly) defined by wide-spaced geochemical sampling confirming exploration potential within the 437 km[2 ] Namban Project area:

    • Cattady PGE-Ni-Cu anomaly with PGE values of up to 97ppb and peak anomalous values of 642 ppm Ni and 226 ppm Cu defined over a 1km strike length. This emerging anomaly remains open along strike.
  • Follow up 50 X 50m infill and strike extension geochemical sampling underway at the newly identified Cattady anomaly.

  • Third UAV drone airborne magnetics survey has identified additional areas of interest adjacent to Metals 260 Ltd Mallory anomaly.

  • Systematic geochemical surveys to commence over magnetic intrusive target areas, once grain crops have been harvested.

  • *PGE: Platinum Group Elements – palladium (Pd) and platinum (Pt)

Dalaroo Metals Ltd ( ASX: DAL , “Dalaroo” or “Company”) is pleased to report encouraging results from its initial wide-spaced, first pass geochemical sampling programme from its Namban Project located ~ 150km north-northeast of Perth and adjacent to the regional centre of Moora in Western Australia (Figure 1 and 4).

The auger geochemical sampling programme totalled 81 samples covering an area of 1.0km by 1.5km. No modern systematic exploration has been undertaken over this area of the Archaean age Jimperding Metamporhic Belt prior to this very recent work by Dalaroo.

The Cattady PGE-Ni-Cu Anomaly is defined by sample spacing of 200 X 100m. Multi-element assays have delineated the Cattady anomaly covering an area of 1.0 X 0.25km with a peak Pd value of up to 82ppb associated with anomalous Pt values of up to 15 ppb for combined PGE value of 97ppb (Figures 2 and 3). Surrounding the geochemical anomaly the Pd and Pt values are complemented by values of up to 642ppm Ni and 226ppm Cu (Figure 3).

“The anomaly coincides with a broad residual lateritised topographic high, trending in a northsouth direction. Residual laterite is commonly observed in the Jimperding Metamporhic Belt as the surface expression of underlying mafic and ultramafic lithologies,” said Mr Harjinder Kehal, Managing Director of Dalaroo Metals.

“There is a lot of interest in this emerging PGE-Ni-Cu province and our results confirm the potential of the region and especially with the recent new Julimar 10 Moz Pd-Pt-Ni-Cu discovery, a strategic deposit of critical ‘green metals’ used in the creation, storage and transport of renewable energy,” said Mr Harjinder Kehal, Managing Director of Dalaroo Metals.

Upcoming Exploration Milestones

Infill sampling on a 50 X 50m grid over the Cattady PGE-Ni-Cu anomaly has commenced in December. With the grain harvest nearing completion over the Namban Project area, large areas will now become available for a systematic geochemical sampling programme. Priority sampling will test the north-south strike extent of the Cattady PGE-Ni-Cu anomalous zone. First pass geochemical sampling of additional targets generated from the recent detailed UAV airborne magnetic surveys will follow in early January, 2022.

About the Namban Project

Namban Project comprises an under explored ground package totalling 437km[2] located in the mid-north part of the wheatbelt region, deemed by Dalaroo to be prospective for magmatic intrusion related Ni-Cu-PGE deposits. Project tenements cover a strike distance of 60 km, adjacent to the crustal-scale Darling Fault, on the western margin of the Archaean Yilgarn Craton. The Company has a 100% controlling interest comprising six tenements extending from the townships of Moora in the south to Three Springs in the north (Figure 4).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised

investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF)
instruments, etc). These examples should not
be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has
been done this would be relatively simple (e.g.
‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent
Person should clearly explain why this is the
case.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high-grade results and longer lengths
of low-grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No drilling results reported.
No metal equivalent values have been reported.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drillhole angle is known, its nature
should be reported.
If it is not known and only the downhole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘downhole length, true width
not known’).
No drilling results reported.
No drilling results reported.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drillhole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Appropriate diagrams are included in the main
body of this report.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
Reporting of the magnetic results is considered
balanced.

Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but not
limited to): geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk
samples – size and method of treatment;
metallurgical test results; bulk density,
groundwater, geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
