Aldoro Resources Limited’s (ASX: ARN) initial extension drilling has exceeded expectations with multiple drill holes intersecting mica-rich pegmatite intervals exceeding 50 meters highlighted in its Phase II RC drilling programme at its Niobe Rb-Li project in Western Australia.
Drilling is testing the potential pegmatite mineralisation of the extension to the Breakaway area (Niobe flats and associated east-west structure) identified in late June during a ground reconnaissance visit in addition to infilling the existing hole spacings towards building a resource.
To date 33 RC holes have been completed for 2,235m and range from 40 to 150m in depth with a total of 68 holes for 4,260m planned. Holes are planned over five pegmatite areas, Main, Northeast, Breakaway, Southeast and Niobe Flats. All holes have intersected pegmatites of various intervals from <1m to 50m with pegmatite-country rock zones up to 63m.
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.
The best intersections were:
