Aldoro Resources Limited (ASX: ARN) has elected to double the size of its maiden drilling programme at the Wyemandoo Critical Metal Project in Western Australia after early success.
A total of 26 RC holes have been drilled totalling 3,286m and ranging from 82 to 202m in depth. The majority of the holes have intersected pegmatites of various intervals from <1m to 6m with pegmatite country rock zones up to 19m.
The programme has been dictated by the pegmatite intersections where many have been interpretated as flat lying sills or moderately steeply dipping dykes orientated to the northwest.
To date drilling has concentrated in two areas, Dome 1 containing the two loop structures (Northern Loop and Southern Loop) and Dome 2 (approximately 5km southwest) where current drilling is progressing.
Given the continual shallow intersections to date coupled by confidence garnered fromXRF readings, the company is proposing to bring in a AC 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.
Pegmatite intersection vary from thin intercepts to zones in excess of 12m.
The company is highly encouraged by results to date and is currently in the process of increasing the drilling programme to 6,000 m.
