Announcement PDF ASX ANNOUNCEMENT ASX: DAL 19 March 2026 Major 2.5 km Gold Drill Target Defined at Goldridge Prospect, Bondoukou Project, Côte d’Ivoire Surface Mapping and Rock Sampling Confirms Significant Structurally Controlled Gold System Dalaroo Metals Limited (ASX: DAL) (“Dalaroo” or “the Company”) is pleased to report results from geological mapping and reconnaissance rock-chip sampling completed at the Goldridge Prospect within the Bondoukou Project (PR0825) located in north-eastern Côte d’Ivoire. The program has identified a large structurally controlled gold corridor extending approximately 2.5 km in strike length and up to 400 m in width, representing a high-priority drill target. The target was identified through the integration of: • Geological mapping • Structural interpretation • Rock-chip geochemistry • Artisanal mining activity • Aeromagnetic data interpretation The mineralised corridor forms part of a broader ~9.5 km long gold anomalous zone interpreted from aeromagnetic imagery and regional structural analysis. Highlights: • Geological mapping and rock-chip sampling has identified a 2.5 km long by 400 m wide gold target corridor at the Goldridge Prospect. • Mineralised corridor interpreted to extend up to 400 m in width. • Target lies within a ~9.5 km long gold anomalous corridor interpreted from aeromagnetic data and regional structural analysis. • 56 rock and saprolite samples collected, with 8 samples returning ≥0.5 g/t Au1. • Peak rock-chip assay of 17.95 g/t Au confirms the presence of high-grade gold mineralisation1. • Mineralisation associated with quartz veining along a NW–SE structural corridor. • Extensive artisanal workings coincide with anomalous gold results. • Follow-up exploration including soil geochemistry, trenching/auger drilling and initial RC drilling planned. • Review of Endeavour Mining's Assafou-Dibibango Project NI 43-101 Technical Report (Prefeasibility Study) prepared by Endeavour Mining highlights key geological characteristics that are directly comparable to those observed at the Goldridge Prospect2. 1Samples DDI001, DAM001 to DAM004B previously released results. ASX announcement 9th March, High grade results received from due diligence sampling. For more information on the Bondoukou Goldridge Project: Click Here Sampling Results A systematic reconnaissance geological mapping and rock-chip sampling program conducted across the northern portion of the Bondoukou permit has identified a significant structurally controlled gold mineralisation corridor associated with the contact between metasedimentary sandstones and mafic metavolcanic units. A total of 56 rock and saprolite samples, comprising sandstone, metavolcanic and quartz vein material, were collected during the program and submitted to Intertek Laboratories for gold analysis using fire assay with a 0.01 ppm detection limit, providing reliable analytical results for reconnaissance exploration. Rock-chip and saprolite sampling returned eight samples grading ≥0.5 g/t Au, spatially clustered along a well-defined structural trend. The results include high-grade values up to 17.95 g/t Au, indicating the presence of near-surface gold mineralisation1. These anomalous gold results coincide with extensive artisanal gold workings and quartz vein hosted mineralisation, developed within metasedimentary units at the contact with metavolcanic rocks. Detailed field mapping and structural interpretation indicate that the mineralisation is structurally controlled along a fold limb proximal to the hinge zone of a regional NW–SE trending fold structure. This structural architecture is interpreted to have acted as a favourable conduit for hydrothermal fluid flow, resulting in the emplacement of quartz veins, sulphide mineralisation and associated gold deposition. Integration of rock-chip geochemistry, mapped structural controls, alteration zones and artisanal mining activity has defined a priority drill target approximately 2.5 km in strike length and up to 400 m in width at surface.

Priority Drill Target The current interpretation outlines a continuous prospective corridor approximately: • 2.5 km strike length × 400 m width • This target zone represents the highest-priority area for initial drilling, as it coincides with: o Clusters of higher-grade rock-chip results o Artisanal mining activity o Quartz vein networks o Favourable fold-related structural traps o The contact between metasedimentary and metavolcanic lithologies The geometry of the target suggests that mineralisation may extend at depth along the fold limb and hinge zone, providing a compelling structural setting for the development of Birimian-style shear-hosted gold mineralisation.

Strategic Location in a World-Class Gold Belt The Bondoukou Project is located within the Birimian Greenstone Belt of eastern Côte d’Ivoire, one of the most prolific gold-producing regions in West Africa. The project lies approximately: ~35 km northwest of Endeavour Mining’s Tanda-Iguela gold project, a major gold discovery within the region. Gold mineralisation in the Birimian terrane is typically associated with: • Major regional shear zones • Volcanic–sedimentary sequences • Quartz vein systems and structural corridors The widespread presence of artisanal workings across the licence area provides strong evidence of near- surface gold mineralisation with potential strike and depth continuity. Peer Deposit Analogue – Tanda-Iguela (Endeavour Mining) The Bondoukou Project is located approximately 35 km northwest of Endeavour Mining’s Tanda-Iguela gold project, which hosts the Assafou deposit, a major orogenic gold system containing a multi-million-ounce resource2. A review of the Assafou-Dibibango Project NI 43-101 Technical Report (Prefeasibility Study) prepared by Endeavour Mining highlights key geological characteristics that are directly comparable to those observed at the Goldridge Prospect2: https://edv-14806-s3.s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/files/6817/3861/7900/Assafo- Dibibango_Project_ADP_Cote_dIvoire.pdf • Gold mineralisation hosted within Birimian volcano-sedimentary sequences • Strong structural control along regional shear zones and fold-related architectures • Mineralisation associated with quartz veining, sulphide development and hydrothermal alteration • Gold deposition concentrated along fold limbs and hinge zones acting as fluid pathways Importantly, the structural setting identified at Goldridge — with mineralisation developed along a fold limb proximal to a hinge zone within a NW–SE structural corridor — is consistent with the controls on mineralisation reported at the Tanda-Iguela deposits2. While no direct comparison of mineral resources or grades is implied, the presence of analogous geological architecture and mineralisation styles provides a strong conceptual framework supporting the exploration potential of the Bondoukou Project. Next Exploration Steps To advance the project toward drill testing, Dalaroo will complete the following: 1. Systematic soil geochemical sampling to identify the extension of the 2.5 km × 400 m target corridor towards the NW and SE portions 2. Detailed structural mapping and trenching / augering across the highest-grade rock-chip zones. 3. Ongoing preparations for the first-pass RC drill program to test mineralised fold-limb target at depth. These programs will allow Dalaroo Metals to rapidly evaluate the scale, continuity and economic potential of the identified gold system. Current Exploration Activities Dalaroo has mobilised its exploration team to conduct systematic soil geochemical sampling (200 x 50m point online) aimed at defining the trend /extent of surface mineralisation covering the ~9.5 km long gold anomalous zone from aeromagnetic image. Figure 6. Plan map of soil geochemical program. Project Overview and Regional Setting The Bondoukou Project is located within the Birimian terrane, a globally significant geological province that hosts numerous major orogenic gold deposits across West Africa. The terrane is characterised by extensive greenstone belts, regional-scale shear zones and favourable structural architecture, which commonly control the emplacement of gold mineralisation throughout the region. The project tenure encompasses multiple prospective structural corridors displaying geological and structural characteristics conducive to gold mineralisation. Prospectivity appears particularly strong in the northern portion of the licence, where extensive historical artisanal workings are developed along interpreted shear zones and fault structures. These artisanal workings provide evidence for near-surface gold occurrences within the project area. However, no drilling or systematic exploration programs have yet been undertaken by the Company to confirm the extent, grade or continuity of mineralisation. Figure 7. Country scale Map of Cote d'Ivoire showing Dalaroo projects in relation to known gold deposits. Geological Setting and Prospectivity The Bondoukou Project is located within the Birimian terrane of eastern Côte d’Ivoire, approximately 35 km northwest of the Tanda gold deposit operated by Endeavour Mining, within one of West Africa’s most prolific gold-producing geological provinces. Gold mineralisation within the Birimian terrane is typically structurally controlled, occurring along major shear zones and lithological contacts that act as conduits for hydrothermal fluids responsible for gold deposition. At Bondoukou, extensive artisanal gold workings are distributed across the licence area, particularly along interpreted regional shear corridors and volcanic–granitoid contacts, providing strong surface evidence for near-surface gold mineralisation with potential for both strike and depth continuity. The presence of favourable Birimian host lithologies, well-developed structural architecture, and widespread artisanal mining activity indicates that the project may host orogenic-style gold mineralisation. These characteristics support the implementation of systematic exploration programs, including geological mapping, geochemical sampling and drilling, to evaluate the scale, grade continuity and economic potential of the mineralised systems across the project area. Upcoming Catalyst Over the coming months the Company expects: • Assay results from > 4000 soil geochemical samples • Completion of the soil geochemical sampling program across the northern portion of the project • Commencement of Trenching/ Auger program across priority target areas • Planning and permitting of initial RC drill programs Management Commentary Dalaroo CEO – John Morgan “The identification of a 2.5 km long gold corridor at Goldridge highlights the strong prospectivity of the Bondoukou Project. The combination of high-grade rock-chip results, favourable structural architecture and extensive artisanal workings provides compelling drill targets. We are now progressing follow-up geochemical surveys and planning initial RC drilling to test this highly prospective gold system.” Country Manager & Exploration Manager Côte d’Ivoire - Frank Twum-Berima Bosompem “The results from the initial reconnaissance program at Bondoukou provide strong geological validation of the project’s prospectivity. The spatial relationship between high-grade rock-chip results, quartz vein systems and extensive artisanal gold workings clearly highlights a structurally controlled gold system that extends over several kilometres. Field mapping indicates that mineralisation is concentrated along a fold-limb structure proximal to a regional hinge zone, a setting commonly associated with significant orogenic gold deposits within the Birimian terrane of West Africa. Importantly, the identified 2.5 km mineralised corridor represents only a portion of a broader ~9.5 km structural trend observed within the permit area. With systematic soil geochemistry currently underway and drilling planned, we believe Bondoukou has the geological ingredients required to deliver a significant gold discovery.” This announcement has been authorised for release to the ASX by the Company's Board of Directors.

JORC Table 1 (Section 1 & 2) Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data Sub-section JORC Code Explanation Disclosure Sampling techniques Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as downhole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representativity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. Rock-chip samples collected from quartz veins, altered host rocks and saprolite during geological mapping. Samples prepared at Intertek laboratory using industry standard crushing and pulverising methods. Gold analysis completed using Fire Assay with AAS finish. Detection limit 0.01 ppm Au. Industry standard QA/QC procedures applied by the laboratory. Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Not applicable Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. The samples reported in this announcement comprise selective rock-chip samples collected from exposed quartz reef material within artisanal workings. The sampling did not involve drill core. Each rock-chip sample was collected manually using a geological hammer and placed into a pre- numbered sample bag. As the samples consisted of individual rock-chip samples collected from exposed outcrop or workings, no field sub- sampling methods such as riffle splitting or rotary splitting were applied. Samples were collected under dry conditions and transported in sealed sample bags to the analytical laboratory. Sample preparation was undertaken by Intertek Laboratories, an internationally accredited laboratory, using industry standard sample preparation procedures. These procedures typically include drying, crushing of the entire sample to a coarse fraction, followed by pulverising a representative sub-sample to produce a pulp suitable for analysis. Internal laboratory quality control procedures include the insertion of certified reference materials, blanks and repeat analyses as part of the laboratory’s standard quality assurance protocols. Due to the selective nature of rock-chip sampling, the samples may not be representative of the overall grade or distribution of mineralisation within the project area. The sample sizes collected are considered appropriate for reconnaissance exploration of quartz-hosted orogenic gold mineralisation typical of the Birimian terrane. Sub-section JORC Code Explanation Disclosure Quality of assay data and laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established. Rock-chip samples were submitted to Intertek Laboratories, an internationally accredited analytical laboratory, for gold analysis. Samples are prepared using industry-standard preparation techniques, which typically include drying, crushing of the entire sample to a coarse fraction, and pulverising a representative sub-sample to produce a homogeneous pulp. Gold analysis is undertaken using fire assay with an appropriate finish, which is considered a total analytical technique for gold and is widely regarded as the industry standard method for determining gold concentration in hard rock samples. No geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, or other field-based analytical instruments were used to determine the reported gold assay results. Laboratory quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) procedures include the insertion of certified reference materials (standards), blanks and duplicate samples as part of the laboratory’s internal quality control program. These procedures are designed to monitor analytical accuracy, precision and potential contamination during the analytical process. The Company considers that the laboratory procedures, analytical techniques and internal quality control measures adopted by the laboratory are appropriate for early-stage exploration sampling and provide acceptable levels of accuracy and precision for the determination of gold in rock-chip samples. Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. Discuss any adjustment to assay data The sampling program was undertaken by Dalaroo Metals geological personnel. Sample locations, geological observations and sample identification details were recorded in the field at the time of collection. Sample locations were recorded using a handheld GPS unit and documented by the field geologist. Assay results are received directly from the analytical laboratory in digital format and are reviewed and compiled by company geological staff. Reported results are checked against laboratory certificates prior to inclusion in company databases and public reporting. Sub-section JORC Code Explanation Disclosure No drilling has been undertaken at the Bondoukou Project by Dalaroo Metals at this stage; therefore, verification of significant intersections and twinned holes is not applicable. No adjustments, averaging or modifications have been made to the assay data reported in this announcement. Assay values are reported as received from the laboratory. The data are considered to have been adequately verified by company personnel for the purposes of early-stage exploration reporting. Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down- hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used Quality and adequacy of topographic control Sample locations were recorded in the field using a handheld Global Positioning System (GPS) unit at the time of sampling. The recorded coordinates correspond to the locations of rock- chip samples collected from quartz reef material exposed within artisanal workings. No drilling, trenching or downhole surveys have been undertaken at the Bondoukou Project by Dalaroo Metals at this stage; therefore, collar and downhole survey information is not applicable. Coordinates are reported in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) grid coordinates using the WGS84 datum. The accuracy of handheld GPS measurements is considered to be approximately ±5–10 metres, which is considered appropriate for early-stage reconnaissance exploration. Topographic control is derived from publicly available satellite imagery and digital elevation datasets, which provide sufficient accuracy for regional mapping and reconnaissance exploration activities. No detailed ground survey or differential GPS survey has been undertaken at this stage. The level of survey accuracy is considered adequate for the purposes of early-stage exploration reporting and is not being used for Mineral Resource estimation. Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Whether sample compositing has been applied The reported samples comprise a limited number of selective rock-chip samples collected from exposed quartz reef material within artisanal workings located in the northern portion of the Bondoukou Project area. The sampling was undertaken as reconnaissance exploration during a due diligence site visit to confirm the presence of gold mineralisation associated with quartz vein systems exposed in Sub-section JORC Code Explanation Disclosure the workings. As such, the sample locations are irregularly spaced and controlled by the location of accessible artisanal pits and exposures rather than by a systematic grid. The current sampling density and distribution are not sufficient to establish geological or grade continuity and are not suitable for use in Mineral Resource or Ore Reserve estimation. No sample compositing has been applied. Assay results are reported on an individual sample basis as received from the analytical laboratory. Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. The samples reported comprise selective rock- chip samples collected from a field mapping program. The sampling was undertaken from accessible exposures within artisanal pits and from systematic traverses or drill holes. As the samples were collected from exposed mineralised material, the orientation of sampling relative to the geological structures was controlled by the orientation of the artisanal workings and the exposed quartz reef material. The sampling program was reconnaissance in nature and designed to confirm the presence of gold mineralisation rather than to test the true width or orientation of mineralised structures. No drilling has been undertaken at the Bondoukou Project by Dalaroo Metals at this stage; therefore, the relationship between drilling orientation and mineralised structures is not applicable. Due to the selective nature of rock-chip sampling and the reliance on exposed mineralised material within artisanal workings, the sampling may introduce sampling bias, and the results should not be considered representative of the overall grade or continuity of mineralisation within the project area. Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security Rock-chip samples were collected by Dalaroo Metals geological personnel and placed into labelled sample bags at the time of
