20,000m Drilling Campaign Advances Towards Commencement at Bondoukou

Dalaroo Metals is advancing final preparations for its maiden drilling campaign at the Gold Ridge Prospect within the Bondoukou Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.

The planned campaign will comprise approximately 20,000 metres of combined RC and diamond drilling across the approximately 7-kilometre Gold Ridge gold corridor. Phase 1 will consist of approximately 10,000 metres of RC drilling focused on Wilfred—the largest of three priority targets identified at Gold Ridge.

Drill pad preparation is scheduled to commence during the coming week, with drilling contractor FTE Drilling having completed site and access inspections.

RC drilling has been selected for the initial discovery phase due to its faster penetration rate and lower cost per metre, enabling Dalaroo to efficiently test more priority positions and refine the principal target areas.

Results from Phase 1 will be integrated into the geological model and used to more accurately position approximately 10,000 metres of planned diamond drilling during Phases 2 and 3 across Wilfred, Mag and Ali.

Dalaroo continues to engage with local villages, community representatives, landholders and other stakeholders as Gold Ridge progresses towards its first major drilling campaign.
