Dalaroo Metals' Maiden Drill Delivers High‑Grade Gold Hit at Bondoukou

Follow-up drilling will test whether the shallow, high‑grade intercept points to a larger, commercially viable system.

Overview

  • Maiden reverse‑circulation drilling at the Wilfred target returned a headline intercept of 18 metres at 7.31 g/t gold from 63m and also hit 16m at 1.46 g/t from 113m plus an earlier hole with 23m at 2.14 g/t from surface.
  • The company has started an immediate five‑hole, 1,250‑metre follow‑up program that includes a steeper return hole at the discovery collar and paired scissor holes about 80m each side to test strike and down‑dip continuity.
  • Those follow‑up holes sit inside an initial 24‑hole, 4,200m orientation phase that is being expanded toward a planned 102‑hole, 12,000m reverse‑circulation campaign targeting Wilfred, Mag and Ali.
  • Operationally, Dalaroo plans to bring a diamond rig to site in mid‑to‑late October, may add more rigs from late November, has completed nine RC holes so far, and expects further assay results for holes three and four in early November.
  • Bondoukou lies in the prolific Birimian greenstone belt about 35km from Endeavour’s Tanda‑Iguela project, but the results are early and company‑reported intercepts only and will need more drilling and assays before any resource can be estimated.
