Aldoro Confirms 1,350m of High-Grade REE and Niobium Mineralisation at Kameelburg

Expanding the Kameelburg Footprint

Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX, ARN) has released assay results from three diamond drill holes, DD002B, DD002C, and DD005A, at its Kameelburg Niobium and Rare Earth Elements (REE) deposit in Namibia. These results confirm that mineralisation extends approximately 1,350 meters across the east-west axis, reinforcing the scale of this strategic polymetallic discovery.

The Kameelburg deposit, hosted within a carbonatite complex, features significant concentrations of critical minerals including REEs, Niobium, and Molybdenum. The recent drilling has encountered continuous mineralisation throughout the entire length of the drill cores, with some holes ending in mineralisation that remains open at depth, suggesting further potential below current drilling levels.

High-Grade Intersections and Geological Insights

Among the highlights, hole DD002B stands out as the best REE hole drilled at Kameelburg to date, with a 195-meter intersection averaging 2.1% total rare earth oxides (TREO), 0.19% Nb2O5, and 325 ppm Mo in the upper layer. The deposit exhibits a zoned structure with an upper REE-dominant layer and a lower Niobium-dominant layer, a pattern confirmed across the new drill holes.

The mineralisation is closely associated with semi-massive to massive magnetite zones and mafic fragments within the Beforsite carbonatite phase. Major rare earth minerals identified include Bastnaesite and Ancylite, both valuable sources of REEs critical for modern technologies.

Progress Towards Maiden Resource Estimate

The Phase 1 drilling program is nearing completion, with a total of 8,777 meters drilled to date. The assays from these three holes will be incorporated into Aldoro's maiden resource estimate, expected to provide a clearer picture of the deposit's size and grade distribution. Additional assay results are anticipated by late July, which will further refine the geological model and resource potential.

Importantly, the mineralisation footprint at Kameelburg now extends approximately 1.35 kilometers long by 550 meters wide and 510 meters deep, with the deposit remaining open at depth and along strike. This leaves room for potential resource growth as exploration continues.

Strategic Importance and Next Steps

Kameelburg is a key asset in Aldoro's portfolio of critical minerals projects, which also includes lithium and rubidium projects in Australia. The confirmation of extensive, high-grade mineralisation at Kameelburg positions Aldoro well in the growing market for rare earths and niobium, essential components in clean energy technologies and advanced manufacturing.

Looking ahead, Aldoro plans to complete the remaining assays and progress the maiden resource estimate. Further drilling will likely focus on testing the depth extensions and lateral continuity of mineralisation, as well as metallurgical studies to assess extraction potential.
