Aldoro Resources (ASX: ARN) reports that it has encountered visual sulphides and prospective rocks from drilling at the VC11 and East1 targets within its Narndee Igneous Complex in Western Australia.
Results from holes NDD0010 and NDD0011, which tested VC11, both encountered nickel-copper magmatic sulphides, in a result that the company says ‘significantly’ expands the prospective footprint of the complex.
A series of off-hole DHTEM models have been generated from these two holes, which are expected to be drilled as soon as possible.
Map displaying targets at the VC11 target with off-hole DHTEM target models outlined in redHole NDD0012, which targeted East1, intersected ‘significant’ sulphides, which will be followed-up by downhole EM to confirm findings. This may lead to further drilling if a ‘robust’ off-hole conductor can be generated.
The company reports that a VTEM extension survey is set to begin early in 2022, with a goal of screening remaining areas of ‘highly prospective’ stratigraphy and geochemistry results including priority 1 nickel-copper-PGE magmatic sulphide style targets and priority 2 copper-gold VHMS style targets.
Further observations from drilling point to the potential for deeper, highly conductive bodies in the region between the VC1 and VC11 targets, which would be difficult to detect using VTEM. Due to this, a High Power Fixed Loop Electromagnetics (HPFTLEM) survey has been commenced, which will be accompanied by a deep stratigraphic hole down to 650m directly betweem VC3 and VC11.
