CHAIRMAN’S REVIEW
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board of Dalaroo Metals Ltd (“Dalaroo” or the “Company”), I present the Annual Report
for the financial year ending 30 June 2025.
The successful completion of a $2.65 million share placement (before costs) and the appointment of new
directors - Mr Josh Gordon and Mr Bilal Ahmat - to the Board in late June 2024 saw Dalaroo well-funded
to progress the next stage of its exploration strategy at its Lyons River Gold & REE Project in the Gascoyne
Province of Western Australia.
Proceeds from the placement also enabled Dalaroo to commence a process to identify and assess new
complementary projects for the Company.
The Company’s maiden diamond drilling program at the Browns Prospect, to test a lead-zinc-silver
anomaly, confirmed the presence of Broken Hill type host rocks with significant intervals of sulphides
through the sequence and returned encouraging base metal assay results up to 1.1% Zn.
In line with the Company’s strategy to identify and assess new complementary projects, in February 2025
Dalaroo announced that it had secured an option to acquire one hundred percent of the Blue Lagoon
Zirconium-Niobium-Rare Earth Element Project in the Gadar Province of Greenland,
Subsequent to year end (in July 2025), the Company commenced its maiden on ground exploration
program in Greenland.
In addition to securing an option over the Greenland Rare Earth Element Project, in June 2025, Dalaroo
also announced that it had, subject to a range of conditions precedent being satisfied, announced that it
had entered into an agreement to acquire up to an eighty percent interest in the Bongouanoa Gold Project
in Cote d’Ivoire.
At year end the Company was continuing to progress its due diligence process on the Bongouanoa Gold
Project.
In closing, in what has been a year of significant activity on many fronts I would like to thank all our
shareholders, employees and contractors for your continued support of Dalaroo throughout the year
Yours sincerely
David Quinlivan
Chairman

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
COMPANY SECRETARY
Mr John Arbuckle B.Bus, CPA
Mr Arbuckle is an accountant with over 30 years’ experience in the resource industry with extensive
experience in Company Secretary, Chief Financial Officer and Non-Executive Director roles in ASX listed
companies. He has previously held senior financial management roles with CRA Ltd, North Ltd, Anaconda
Nickel Ltd and was the Chief Financial Officer of Perilya Ltd and Mt Gibson Iron Ltd before starting his own
company secretarial and corporate advisory business.
PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES
During the financial year the principal activities of the company consisted of exploration activities at the
company’s exploration tenements situated in Western Australia.
There were no other significant changes in these activities during the financial year.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The net loss for the Company after providing for income tax amounted to $2,727,898 (2024: $1,541,538).
The Company continues to undertake exploration and evaluation activities on its tenements located in
Western Australia.
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
During the financial year Dalaroo Metals has continued to explore the Lyons River and Namban projects in
Western Australia whilst conducting due diligence on two new potential projects.
BLUE LAGOON - GREENLAND
The Blue Lagoon Project, located in southern Greenland, has similar geochemical anomalous footprint to
the Kvanefjeld (Energy Transition Metals) and Kringlerne/Tanbreez critical minerals/LREE deposits. These
projects are all hosted in the southern alkaline intrusive province where Blue Lagoon is located.
The US has long viewed Greenland and its critical mineral endowment as a strategically important asset.
Greenland's mineral wealth presents an economic opportunity for Dalaroo to aid the U.S. in diversifying its
supply chains and reduce reliance on China. Greenland continues to present as a focus of the US
administration and is garnering significant interest from President Trump directly. European Lithium has
been offered US$120M loan from the US Export-Import Bank to develop their REE project in Greenland.
Demonstrating the level of interest from the US in Greenland as a source of critical minerals.
Large and highly anomalous zirconium, niobium and REE geochemical anomalies over the Project area
provide a compelling multi-commodity exploration target. The Vendor has identified the presence of
potential bulk tonnage ‘placer’ type deposits from in-situ weathered granite. This is characterised by highly
anomalous LREE and Nb signature, which is very similar to the geochemical signature that coincides with
3 other significant REE deposits in South Greenland associated with Gadar Block alkaline intrusives. The
Company is looking forward to reporting the results of the work program as they come to hand.

and neodymium assay results
HISTORICAL EXPLORATION RESULTS
A GEUS regional stream sediment sampling program took a total of 9 stream sediment samples from the
current tenement area in 1979. These indicate the area as being anomalous in zirconium, niobium and
REEs, particularly the magnetic rare earth neodymium (Figure 1). Significantly the samples returned
background to very low-level uranium and thorium content, which is critical for shipping and permitting.
There is no record of any exploration having been undertaken on the tenement area to follow-up the
anomalous results.

WORK PROGRAM
Dalaroo engaged the services of renowned Greenland geologist Ole Christiansen for exploration work on
the project. Mr Christiansen has over 35 year’s experience exploring Greenland, and is currently a
consulting geologist, which has included work for the Tanbreez deposit. He has spent considerable time
exploring for gold, base metals as well as critical metals within alkalic complexes, including carbonatite and
syenite complexes. He was the former CEO of Nuna Minerals A/S, a crowned company that became listed
on Nasdaq OMX Copenhagen in 2008. Two principal work streams were conducted.
Sediment Samples
Twenty-six sediment samples were collected using a plant spoon, in some cases using a spade. Sediments
are dominated by coarse grained grey feldspar minerals with a grain size in the order of 2 cm. Sediment
samples were sampled using 20 cm steel sieves with 2 mm mesh and stored in Heavy Sentry sample bags.
Auger Sampling
Seven Auger samples were collected using a handheld coarse sand auger. Auger sampling is difficult
because of the frequent alternating layers of coarse gravel. Sonic drilling or RC drilling are alternative
sampling methods to consider in the future.
GEOLOGICAL SETTING
The Paleoproterozoic Province in South Greenland is a cratonic rift province consisting of sandstones, and
a variety of alkaline volcanic and plutonic igneous rocks. The Mesoproterozoic Gadar alkaline intrusive
complexes intruded into this rift setting. The MEL 2022-07 exploration licence lies within the Helene granite
unit, which forms the westernmost exposure of the large Nunarsuit Complex. The Nunarsuit Complex is the
largest and amongst the youngest of numerous Gardar age intrusions in South Greenland. It is comprised
of alkaline syenite and granitic units (Figure 3). The Project lies within the mapped Helene alkaline granite,
which forms the westernmost unit of the Nunarsuit Complex. It is bounded to the east by an extensive
alkalic syenite.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Next Steps
Assay results from the sampling program are expected to be received from mid-October 2025 onwards. It
is anticipated that if these results are favourable, a follow-up field trip will be conducted prior to the end of
October 2025. A portable XRF will assist the teams to identify any anomalous or mineralised areas, which
should expedite the planning for follow-up work prior to receipt of assays.
The exploration season in this part of Greenland is more extensive than most of Greenland, running from
May to October each year.
BONGOUANOA PROJECT – COTE D’IVOIRE
The Bongouanoa Project in Cote d’Ivoire comprising a 400km² application permit located in the richly gold
endowed Sefwi-Comé Belts. Dalaroo will be leveraging years of historical exploration data. The Project has
had significant historical exploration conducted including soil geochemistry, rock chip sampling and
extensive aircore and diamond drilling (refer DAL ASX announcement dated 10 June 2025). The historic
work returned significant gold mineralisation that represent immediate follow up targets for Dalaroo to test.
The Bongouanoa Project is located in southeast Cote d’Ivoire, covering 400km² in a permit under
application. The permit is located in the Sefwi-Comé Belt that is host to multi-million ounce gold deposits
and covers the Sefwi-Comé Shear and N’Guessan Shear zones. Previous exploration conducted in the
Bongouanoa Project included stream sediment sampling, soil sampling, aircore drilling and diamond
drilling.
The geology is characterised by strongly deformed flysch, metasediments and metavolcanics along with
diorite and granitic intrusives. Structurally, two main shears traverse the project; Sefwi-Comé Shear and
N’Guessan Shear with associated complex secondary structures.
The project currently has 10 active sites of artisanal workings and 5 abandoned sites. These sites appear
to be focussed on secondary cross structures and splaying off the primary shears.
Summary of Historic Geochemical Sampling
Both stream and soil sampling programs have been conducted over the southern half of the project. Both
these programs have highlighted the prospectivity of the area to host economic gold mineralisation. The
regional streams program returned results as high as 189ppb Au which focused the follow up gridded soil
program in the southern portion of the permit.
The subsequent soil sampling program was conducted on a 400 x 50m gridded pattern and returned
significant robust, contiguous gold in soil anomalism >50ppb Au over a 16km X 10km area along with
parallel anomalies. The anomaly includes some spectacularly high grades, peaking at 95g/t Au (Figure 5).
Sampling of outcrops also produced outstanding gold results including 70.68g/t Au & 68.55g/t Au. Whilst
some of these samples were taken from areas of active workings, significant grades were also returned
from un-worked quartz veins.

Next Steps
Subject to the permit being granted in coming months, the Company intends to aggressively advance its
exploration programs on the Bongouanoa Project. Dalaroo's management brings valuable experience
operating in West Africa, complemented by its strong local technical team.
Initial exploration efforts will include:
• Aggressive drill testing of existing targets
• Additional gridded geochemical sampling in the northern portion of the permit area
• Detailed mapping and trenching across identified gold-in-soil anomalies
• Regional drilling programs testing new targets areas
The objective of this work is to delineate and define an initial JORC compliant resource that can potentially
lead to future mine development and gold production.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Broken Hill Type prospectivity confirmed - EIS Diamond Drilling at Browns
Dalaroo completed a diamond drilling program at its Browns prospect, Lyons River Project which
intersected a Broken Hill Type mineralised sequence with encouraging assay results of up to 1.1% Zn. Four
deep diamond core holes totalling 994.4m tested a prospective Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target covering an
area of 6km2 (3km X 2km). The Company believes the district is an emerging Broken Hill Type (BHT) /
Sedimentary Exhalative (“SEDEX”) deposit setting. The Browns Prospect is one of six Pb-Zn soil
geochemical prospects identified at Lyons River within the Proterozoic Age basin setting covering an area
of 300km2 (30km by 10km) (Figure 9).
The Browns Prospect represents the second site of Pb-Zn-Ag intersections discovered by bedrock drilling
in the Mutherbukin Zone, 5km east of Dalaroo’s Four Corners Pb-Zn-Ag prospect. The Browns Prospect
comprises a broad Pb-Zn soil (max 1445ppm Pb, 1080 Zn ppm) and rock chip geochemical anomaly
covering an area of 3km X 2km, associated with extensive iron-rich and high-grade gossanous material at
surface with results of up to 39.6% Pb, up to 0.71% Zn and up to 82g/t Ag (refer DAL ASX Announcement
from 15 February 2022). Dalaroo’s Aircore (AC) drill programs at Browns testing the geochemical
anomalism have been successful in intersecting zones of interbedded psammitic to pelitic lithologies
together with zones of disseminated base metal sulphides such as galena and sphalerite. Significant AC
drilling Pb-Zn sulphide intercepts have included 10m @ 1.04% Pb, 0.49% Zn, 2.85g/t Ag from 37m
(LRAC010) Including 1m @ 3.13% Pb, 0.24% Zn, 5g/t Ag from 38m and 63m @ 1.76g/t Ag from 16m (refer
DAL ASX Announcement from 14 February 2023).

Four diamond core holes totalling 994.4 m (Figure 11) tested a prospective Pb-Zn-Ag base metal target
covering an area of 3km X 2km. The holes ranged in depth from 142.3m to 300m and tested separate
zones below the AC drill anomalies and prospective coincident gravity/geochemical targets (Table 2).

EIS drilling has defined an interbedded sequence of garnet-and sillimanite-bearing pelitic to psammo-pelitic
schists, intermediate to felsic gneiss, and meta-sandstones, analogous to the host rock sequences at
Broken Hill. Akin to Broken Hill the rocks have undergone high-grade metamorphism, to generate the
quartz-biotite-feldspar-garnet-muscovite-sillimanite assemblage. The main lithologies identified are shown
in Figure 11. The sequence has been intruded by granitic pegmatite and lesser, serpentinised, ultramafic
dykes.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Figure 12: Browns drill section 378100E
Intervals of disseminated, blebby and veinlet pyrite occur throughout the sequence and are typically more
abundant with argillaceous, pelitic lithologies (biotite-quartz schist). The thickest sequences of these
argillaceous, pelitic to psammo-pelitic rocks occur in the northern part of the prospect and broadly correlate
with the main (northern) Pb-Zn-Ag surface anomaly. In addition, several zones of silica-pyrite alteration
have been logged throughout the sequence.
Better base-metal intercepts include:
• 1m @ 0.55% Pb and 0.11% Zn from 58m (LRDD005)
• 3m @ 0.33% Pb and 0.12% Zn from 62m (LRDD006)
• 1m @ 0.13% Pb, 0.7% Zn and 2ppm Ag from 81m (LRDD006)
• 1m @ 0.19% Pb and 1.09% Zn from 146m (LRDD006)
• 5m @ 277ppm Pb and 1324ppm Zn from 127m (LRDD007)
The better results were returned from holes LRDD005 and LRDD006 in the northern part of the Browns
Prospect. Drilling in this area intercepted several zones of argillaceous, pelitic schist up to 65m thick that
contain up to 5% pyrite. Such lithologies are commonly more prospective in BHT systems, and at Browns,
these zones exhibit broad widths of base metal anomalism, that include discrete, higher-grade zones,
including 1.09% Zn and 0.55% Pb over 1m intervals. Aeromagnetic data and structural analysis of drill-core
suggest a possible NE structural control to mineralisation, although additional drilling would be required to
confirm this.
Copper Potential
A review of Lyons River Project copper potential was undertaken using the project wide historical soil
geochemical and rock chip samples. High grade copper assay results of 54.8% coupled with silver grades
of 80g/t were returned from rock chip sampling program in 2023 associated with malachite rich zone over
the south-western part of the Browns prospect (refer DAL ASX Announcement from 31 October 2023).
19
DALAROO METALS LTD
ACN 648 476 699
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Copper assays of 1.64% accompanied by silver assays of 21.5g/t have previously been recorded from rock
chip sampling completed at the Four Corners prospect located 5km to the west of Browns. In other parts of
the Lyons River Project copper values from rock chip samples have returned assays ranging from 505ppm
to 2617 ppm (0.26%). Historical shallow RC drill program in 2008 by previous explorers at Four Corners
had returned an intersection of 3m @ 0.50% Cu including 1m @ 0.92% Cu from 56m, with mineralisation
associated chalcopyrite (refer DAL ASX Announcements from 16 March 2022).
Field reconnaissance of copper anomalous areas was undertaken in the December Quarter 2024 with a
total of 32 new samples collected. Multi-element analysis has returned high grade copper with assay results
of up to 16.2% Cu. High grade copper is coupled with gold values of up to 0.24g/t Au and 3 g/t Ag (Table
3). Outcropping surface malachite copper mineralisation has been observed over a strike distance of 60m.
This highlights potential for the discovery of copper within the Lyons River Project (Figures 13 and 14).

geochemical samples (anomalous copper) and rock chip sample with copper assays above 500ppm.
In addition, a soil geochemical sampling program was undertaken over the Lyons River Project over a
number of conceptual target areas with potential for copper with a total of 467 samples collected. Copper
values of up to 169ppm Cu have been returned (Figures 13 and 14).

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company is subject to risks that are specific to the Company and the Company’s business activities,
as well as general risks.
Future funding risks
Whilst the Company has a cash and cash equivalents balance of $454,826 and net assets of $1,224,634
and is able to continue on a going concern basis, there is risk that the Company may require substantial
additional financing in the future to sufficiently fund potential exploration and development resource
acquisition, general working capital and any other longer-term objectives. The Company has the ability to
control the level of its current operations and hence the level of its expenditure over the next 12 months.
Management is confident that they can reduce the level of expenditure in order to retain appropriate cash
balances. Management remains very diligent in their ongoing monitoring of cash balances day by day. The
Company’s ability to raise additional funds will be subject to, among other things, factors beyond the control
of the Company and its Directors, including cyclical factors affecting the economy and share markets
generally. If for any reason the Company was unable to raise future funds when required, its operations
could be significantly affected.
The Directors regularly review the spending pattern and ability to raise additional funding to ensure the
Company’s ability to generate sufficient cash inflows to settle its creditors and other liabilities.
