Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX:ARN) has intersected shallow zones of lithium mineralisation during its maiden drilling program at the flagship Wyemandoo Critical Metals Project in Western Australia.
To date, a total of 26 reverse circulation (RC) drill holes totalling 3,286 metres have been drilled from 82 to 202 metres in depth.
The majority of the holes have intersected pegmatites of various intervals from less than one metre to six metres with pegmatite country-rock zones of up to 19 metres.
Aldoro is encouraged by the results to date and is increasing the drilling program to 6,000 metres.
Drill highlights
To date, drilling has concentrated in two areas, Dome 1 containing the two-loop structures (Northern Loop and Southern Loop) and Dome 2 where drilling is progressing.
Given the continual shallow intersections to date coupled with confidence garnered from XRF readings, the company is proposing to bring in an aircore hammer drilling rig to delineate the resource potential of Dome 1.
Dome 2 drilling has intersected purple lepidolite-rich zones as well as identified greenish aluminosilicate possibly eucryptite (hydrothermal equivalent of spodumene) zones.
