Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX:ARN) has received assay results from four drill holes at the VC1 target of the Narndee Igneous Complex (NIC) Project in Western Australia, while also advancing geophysical surveying across the project tenure.
Notable wet chemistry intercepts from the drillholes included:
➢ 7.86 metres at 0.53% nickel, 0.51% copper and 0.03% cobalt from 269.5 metres; and
➢ 4.26 metres at 1.22% nickel, 0.53% copper and 0.08% cobalt from 277.14 metres
These results represent a step-up in width and grade compared to previous results from VC1.
The company has planned a further eight drill holes to target VC1 but has not yet announced when the drilling will take place.
Geophysical surveying
Aldoro has now completed its priority 1 versatile time domain electromagnetic (VTEM) survey over the Kiabye Greenstone Belt (KGB) along the western margin of the NIC project.
The KGB is thought to be a possible feeder or basal unit of the NIC and represents a high priority exploration target for Aldoro in the hunt for nickel-copper sulphide deposits.
Results will be released once the analysis of final data sets can be completed.
Aldoro is now advancing a large loop, high power fix loop electromagnetic (HPFLTEM) survey over the VC1, VC3 and VC11 target areas.
The survey is designed to detect large, highly conductive, and possibly deeper metallic bodies that would have been difficult for VTEM to detect. Results will be reported as they become available.
Following the Priority 1 VTEM survey and HPFLEM results, any conductors generated will be ground-truthed, mapped, and sampled by surface geochemistry.
Aldoro will then follow up with surface electromagnetic work and drilling.
About Aldoro Resources
Aldoro Resources is a mineral exploration and development company with a collection of nickel/copper/platinum group metal (PGM) focused exploration projects and advanced rubidium exploration projects all located in Western Australia.
The company’s flagship nickel/copper/PGM project is the Narndee Project, where initial drilling of the first of over a dozen targets has successfully intersected nickel sulphides.
Aldoro is also currently exploring the Niobe rubidium/lithium/tantalum project, the company is encouraged by the very high grades of rubidium and the at surface deposit, which extends over multiple kilometres.
The company’s other projects include the Cathedrals Belt Nickel Project (nickel-copper-PGM), with a significant tenement holding surrounding St George Mining’s Mt Alexander Project, the Leinster Nickel Project, and Windimurra Igneous Complex (nickel-copper-PGM, lithium).
