Dalaroo Commences Maiden 12,000m RC Drilling Campaign at Bondoukou

Dalaroo Metals Limited (ASX: DAL; OTCQB: DALMF) has commenced its maiden Reverse Circulation drilling campaign at the Bondoukou Gold Project in Côte d’Ivoire.

The initial stage comprises 24 RC holes for approximately 4,200 metres and forms part of a planned 102-hole, approximately 12,000-metre Phase 1 program. The campaign represents the first systematic subsurface test of the Wilfred, Mag and Ali priority targets, located along the previously reported approximately seven-kilometre gold-anomalous corridor.

Drill targets have been defined by integrating soil and auger geochemistry, geological mapping, structural analysis, magnetic interpretation and the distribution of active and historical artisanal gold workings.

The opening orientation holes are planned to depths of approximately 150 to 250 metres and will test selected priority areas from opposing drill directions. This approach is designed to establish the orientation, dip and geological controls of any mineralisation intersected and guide the direction of subsequent drilling.

Subject to geological observations from the initial drilling, Dalaroo plans to advance a further 78 RC holes for approximately 7,800 metres across the three target areas. The campaign will be managed as a flexible, geology-led program, with drill positions, orientations and depths progressively refined as new information becomes available.

The commencement of drilling marks a significant milestone for Dalaroo and advances Bondoukou from surface exploration and target generation into direct testing of its priority gold targets.
