Dalaroo Metals Ltd (ASX: DAL) has commenced a diamond drilling programme at its Manning prospect, Namban Project in Western Australia.
The drilling programme is seeking to test significant Ni-Cu-PGE+Au geochemical anomalies that are coincident with IP anomalies with high chargeability values of up to 40 mV/V. The Manning prospect is located 150km north of Perth and 90km north of Chalice Mining’s world class Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project.
The diamond drill programme will be partly funded by Dalaroo’s successful application in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme sponsored by the Government of Western Australia. The grant is for an amount of up to A$175,000 from the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety (DMIRS), structured as a contribution towards 50% of direct drilling cost.
The diamond drill programme underway is expected to be completed by mid-March 2023.
Drill core samples, once logged and processed will be dispatched for multi-element analyses with assay results expected during the June 2023 quarter. Drill holes will be cased and ready for downhole geophysical surveys.
“We are excited to be diamond drilling at our Manning prospect after defining significant and high caliber Ni-Cu-PGE+Au anomalies which are coincident with IP anomalies with chargeability values of up to 40 mV/V,” Managing Director, Harjinder Kehal, said.
“The diamond drilling programme underway at Manning is expected to confirm the presence of magmatic intrusion hosted Ni-Cu-PGE+Au and or hydrothermal deposits north of Chalice Mining’s Goneville Ni-Cu-PGE deposit and the recent discovery by Minerals 260 of Au-Cu mineralization at Angepena, Mynt and Zest prospects located 10km to the south-east.
“The drilling is also expected to provide important information on the stratigraphy, lithologies and alteration assemblages related to the identified geochemical and geophysical anomalism at Manning. Subsequently, expanding the current understanding of controls on magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE+Au and hydrothermal/structural hosted mineralization in the emerging West Yilgarn Province.”
