Mobilisation Underway for Expanded 2026 Exploration Campaign
at Blue Lagoon REE Project
Highlights
• Mobilisation in Progress:Fleet transport and logistics are actively underway to move camp infrastructure,
auger drilling rigs, and marine sampling equipment to the project area.
• Operational Partnership Active: Xploration Services Greenland has deployed local logistical support and
vessels to manage the complex Arctic transit through the fjords.
• On-Schedule Deployment: Camp establishment and initial field setup are on track to support the
scheduled June launch of the 2026 field season.
• Dual-Track Readiness: Equipment for both onshore auger drilling and offshore Van Veen seabed grab
sampling is in transit, preparing the team for Dalaroo's most comprehensive campaign to date.
• Follow-Up to Discovery Program: 2026 field activities will expand upon the 2025 maiden program, which
identified a 2.7km mineralised corridor with peak results of 4.42% ZrO₂, 99ppm Hf and 0.81% TREO.
• Recent approval of licences M-516 and M-517 expands Dalaroo's footprint within the prospective Gardar
Alkaline Province.
Dalaroo Metals Ltd (ASX: DAL; OTCQB: DALMF) is pleased to announce mobilisation has commenced for its
2026 exploration program at the Blue Lagoon Critical Minerals Project in southern Greenland. The program is
designed to significantly expand upon the 2025 discovery of a 2.7km mineralised corridor containing elevated
rare earth elements, zirconium (Zr) and hafnium (Hf), and will include the Company's first integrated onshore and
offshore exploration campaign.
Following the recent finalisation of project planning, the logistics phase has successfully commenced. In
partnership with Xploration Services Greenland, heavy equipment, field camp infrastructure, and initial
provisions are currently being loaded and transported via barge through local fjords toward the main project
landing site.
Field personnel, led by CEO John Morgan and Exploration Manager Trystan Hughes, are transitioning to the
project area. On-site deployment and camp setup are tracking precisely on schedule, positioning the Company
to commence active field exploration in the coming days.

Dalaroo’s CEO, John Morgan, commented:
"Getting our mobilisation underway is always an exciting milestone when operating in Greenland. Moving heavy
equipment, camp infrastructure, and scientific gear through these icy fjords requires meticulous planning, and our
logistics partners at Xploration Services Greenland are doing a phenomenal job ensuring everything moves safely
and efficiently.
Importantly, this program is designed to build upon the encouraging results from our maiden 2025 field season, which
confirmed a large-scale critical minerals system extending over at least 2.7 kilometres. The integration of onshore
auger drilling and offshore seabed sampling provides an exciting opportunity to test whether heavy mineral
concentrations extend beyond the shoreline and potentially increase the overall scale of the system."

Advancing the "Source-to-Sink" Exploration Model
The active mobilisation marks the transition into a high-impact, month-long field campaign designed to
systematically test the broader scale of the Blue Lagoon mineral system across both onshore and offshore
environments. Operations will immediately target the extensions of the 2.7-kilometre strike anomaly identified
during the 2025 maiden program, which yielded peak values of up to 4.42% ZrO2, 99ppm hafnium (Hf), and
0.81% TREO (Total Rare Earth Oxides)1
.
Once the barge arrives and the field camp is fully operational, the technical team will immediately deploy across
two primary focuses:
• Onshore Targets: Commencement of detailed geological and structural mapping, surface sampling,
sediment characterisation and grain-size analysis, systematic auger drilling and Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR) across prospective sedimentary environments to track heavy mineral distribution pathways.
• Offshore Targets: Launching nearshore geochemical sampling, bathymetric profiling and Van Veen
seabed grab sampling from local marine vessels to evaluate potential hydraulic concentration zones
where sediment transport may have accumulated zircon-rich mineral assemblages.

Geological Setting
The Project lies within the Paleoproterozoic rift province of South Greenland, which comprises sedimentary
sequences intruded by a variety of alkaline volcanic and plutonic igneous rocks. This rift setting was
subsequently intruded by Mesoproterozoic Gardar-age alkaline intrusive complexes, which are recognised
globally for their association with critical mineral systems.
Blue Lagoon is located within the Helene alkaline granite, forming the westernmost exposure of the Nunarsuit
Complex. The Nunarsuit Complex is the largest, and among the youngest, of the Gardar-age intrusions in South
Greenland and is comprised predominantly of alkaline syenitic and granitic units. The Project area is bounded to
the east by extensive alkalic syenite, further reinforcing the prospectivity of the geological setting for zirconium,
niobium and rare earth element enrichment.

Upcoming Catalysts
• Camp establishment and mobilisation completion
• Commencement of auger drilling
• Initial offshore seabed sampling
• Geological mapping and sampling
• GPR results
• Metallurgical test work
• Auger drilling results

Management Commentary
Exploration Manager – Greenland and Western Australia, Trystan Hughes, commented:
"Initiating this mobilisation is a major milestone for our technical team. Operating in Greenland demands
absolute logistical precision, and hitting our shipping window means we are perfectly positioned to capitalise
on this high-impact summer field season. This year, we are transitioning from a purely onshore focus to a
fully integrated 'source-to-sink' campaign. Our 2025 program proved the baseline fertility of the project,
tracking a 2.7-kilometre strike anomaly with peak values up to 4.42% ZrO2 and encouraging rare earth
enrichment.
"The 2026 campaign allows us to track these high-grade sediments from their upstream intrusive source
rocks down into the nearshore environments. By deploying Van Veen grab samplers alongside onshore auger
drilling, we are actively testing whether natural tidal action has created high-grade hydraulic concentrations
of zircon-rich minerals on the seabed. We are eager to establish camp and get this comprehensive program
underway."
