Dalaroo Metals starts 12,000m gold drill campaign
- Dalaroo Metals has launched a 12,000-metre reverse circulation drilling programme at the Bondoukou Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire.
- The exploration work is funded by a $2.5 million placement completed on Aug. 3.
- The campaign aims to test high-grade soil anomalies along a 7-kilometre corridor and establish structural orientation for further expansion.
Dalaroo Metals (ASX:DAL) has commenced a maiden 12,000-metre reverse circulation drilling programme across the Wilfred, Mag, and Ali targets at its Bondoukou Gold Project.
The drilling programme follows an extensive geochemistry survey that mapped out a 7-kilometre gold corridor featuring soil assay grades up to 23.26 grammes per tonne of gold.
The initial 4,200-metre phase consists of 24 holes drilled to depths between 150m and 250m to test geological structures.
Dalaroo CEO John Morgan commented, "This is a discovery-focused programme designed to establish the orientation and geological controls of any mineralisation intersected.”
Dalaroo Metals stated that the first phase will take two to four weeks, with assay results expected in early Q4 2026 before deciding on a larger 7,800-metre follow-up programme.
Following the announcement, the Dalaroo Metals share price was unchanged at $0.070.
The Perth-based mineral exploration company focuses on discovering gold and critical mineral deposits across international and Australian jurisdictions.
The campaign marks a key step in expanding the footprint at Bondoukou, leveraging historical data alongside regional magnetic and soil geochemistry mapping.
