Aldoro Resources Limited (ASX: ARN) has received promising new assay results for the VC1 and VC3 targets at the Narndee Igneous Complex (NIC) in Western Australia.
Assays return peak values of 1.74% Ni in NDD0016, and 0.89% Cu in NDD0006 have been obtained to date.
Six new diamond holes and eight RC RC holes were completed at VC1 to the end of 2021.
About VC1
Results Since the previous update, assay results have been received for five drill holes at VC1. Significant wet chemistry intercepts were returned from all drill holes as follows;
NDD0003 – 2.05m at 1.00% Ni, 0.21% Cu and 0.06% Co from 212.75m
NDD0004 – 80.9m at 0.26% Ni, 0.07% Cu and 0.02% Co from 192m Including 1.00m at 1.35% Ni, 0.36% Cu and 0.09% Co from 271.9m
NDD0006 – 55.6m at 0.19% Ni, 0.06% Cu and 0.01% Co from 246m Including 0.38m at 1.11% Ni, 0.04% Cu and 0.07% Co from 301.22m
NDD0008 – 2.9m at 0.92% Ni, 0.4% Cu and 0.06% Co from 106.3m
NDD0015 – 0.5m at 0.84% Ni, 0.16% Cu and 0.08% Co from 214.5m and 1.65m at 0.53% Ni, 0.24% Cu and 0.03% Co from 211.2m
NDD0016 1.6m at 0.53% Ni, 0.19% Cu and 0.04% Co from 217.25m
Six diamond drillholes and eight RC drillholes have been completed at VC1 since the previous update. NDD0015 and NDD0016 were part of that programme.
About VC3 Results
NDD0005 was drilled to a depth of 654.9m. The hole was extended as it re-entered a high MgO ultramafic package with occasional disseminations of magmatic sulphides after passing through the VC3 target.
Laboratory assay results confirm the hole ended in 31.3% MgO and 0.22% Ni, demonstrating the high prospectivity of this area, particularly at depth.
The VC3 EM target was intersected at approximately 380m downhole. The anomaly appears to be associate
ed with an internal raft of basalt and metasediments hosted by high MgO ultramafics and mafics. The rocks immediately below the metasediment contain blebby and disseminated magmatic sulphide. This zone returned 7.0m at 0.22% Ni and 0.06% Cu from 389m downhole.
A large loop high power electromagnetic survey is ongoing over this area. This survey aims to detect deeper or very high conductance targets, which may have been difficult to see with the VTEM system.
VTEM and HPFLTEM
The Priority 1 VTEM survey is on schedule for completion in early January. The survey will screen the Kiabye Greenstone Belt (KGB) along the western margin of the NIC. The KGB is interpreted to be a possible feeder or basal unit of the NIC. This represents a high priority exploration target for nickel-copper sulphide deposits.
A large loop HPFLTEM survey is ongoing over the VC1, VC3, and VC11 target areas. This survey aims to detect large, highly conductive, and possibly deeper metallic bodies that would have been difficult for the VTEM system to detect. The results of this program will be reported in detail as they come to hand.
