Student Spotlight: Diarra Gnele Djénéba Continues to Build Exploration Skills at Gold Ridge

Dalaroo Metals is pleased to continue its Student Spotlight series, showcasing the talented students gaining practical industry experience through the Company's field training program at the Gold Ridge Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire.

This week we feature Diarra Gnele Djénéba, a third-year Mining and Geology student from the Higher Institute of Technology and Management, Abidjan, who is working alongside Dalaroo's exploration team as part of her professional development.

During the week, Diarra participated in a broad range of exploration activities, including monitoring line-cutting operations, supporting auger drilling, collecting and logging auger samples, and entering geological data into the project database. She also developed an understanding of residual sample identification and its importance in mineral exploration.

Reflecting on her experience, Diarra said the most valuable lesson she learned was the importance of teamwork, recognising that effective communication and collaboration are essential to achieving successful outcomes in the field.

Dalaroo's student training program is designed to provide aspiring geologists with real-world exploration experience, helping develop the technical skills and practical knowledge needed for future careers in the mining industry while supporting the growth of local expertise in Côte d'Ivoire.

The Company looks forward to continuing to highlight the achievements and progress of its students throughout the 2026 exploration season.
