Drill Pads Complete Ahead of Fully Funded 12,000m Bondoukou RC Program

Dalaroo Metals Limited (ASX: DAL, OTCQB: DALMF) has completed initial drill pads and access routes at the Bondoukou Gold Ridge Project in Côte d’Ivoire, clearing the way for final rig mobilisation and the commencement of its fully funded 12,000-metre Phase 1 RC drilling program.

Following the Company’s recent capital raising, Phase 1 was expanded from 10,000 metres to 12,000 metres, enabling Dalaroo to systematically test all three priority targets—Mag, Wilfred and Ali.

Drilling will follow a staged, geology-led approach. Initial scissor holes will be drilled in opposing directions at each target to establish the orientation and geometry of the targeted mineralised structures. The results will then guide systematic fence drilling across all three prospects.

RC chip logging, structural observations, downhole surveys and assay results will be progressively incorporated into Dalaroo’s geological model, allowing drill positions and orientations to be refined as the program advances.

Drilling is scheduled to commence by 15 August 2026, with initial assay results anticipated from mid-September. The fully funded Phase 1 program forms the opening stage of Dalaroo’s broader planned 20,000-metre drilling strategy, with Phase 2 and Phase 3 to be designed and prioritised using the geological model developed during Phase 1.
