Dalaroo Metals has released the results from its diamond drilling program on the Manning Prospect, at its Namban Project, which confirms the presence of copper and gold.
The Manning Prospect is located 150km north of Perth and 90km north of Chalice Mining’s Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE Project.
The drilling program was designed to test large Ni-Cu-PGE (nickel, copper and platinum-group elements) and gold geochemical anomalies (Pb soil anomaly with a peak value of 28ppb coincident with Cu peak value of 605ppm and Ni peak value of 206ppm) covering an area of 2km by 0.5km that are coincident with induced polarisation anomalies with high chargeability values of up to 40mV/V.
The diamond drill program was partly funded by Dalaroo’s successful application in Round 26 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme sponsored by the Western Australian Government. The grant was for an amount of up to $175,000, structured as a contribution towards 50 per cent of direct drilling cost.
Dalaroo Managing Director, Harjinder Kehal, said he is excited by the intersection of visual and reportable copper sulphide mineralisation as evidence of sulphur saturation in the Manning Prospect, including confirmation of favourable mafic rocks.
“We now intend to map out the extent of the interpreted larger mafic sill complex and plan further drill testing as warranted.”
