Central Breakthrough Unlocks Larger Scale REE-Sr-Nb System
- DD005G confirms continuous mineralisation across entire Kameelburg carbonatite, validating scale and continuity
- Mineralisation now confirmed from margin to core, demonstrating a coherent, laterally continuous system
- Strontium emerging as a potential economic co-product alongside rare earths
Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX: ARN) advises that assay results from diamond drill hole DD005G confirm continuous rare earth and strontium mineralisation across the full width of the Kameelburg carbonatite. DD005G intersected 537 metres of mineralisation from surface to end-of-hole, terminating in mineralisation which remains open at depth. The hole was drilled into the previously untested central core of the carbonatite and confirms that mineralisation is not restricted to peripheral zones, but forms part of a large, coherent and laterally continuous mineralised system. This result represents a step-change in geological confidence, validating the scale of the system and supporting the potential for substantial resource growth. The confirmation of mineralisation in the centre of the system reduces geological uncertainty and supports the Company's geological model of a well-developed, internally consistent mineralised carbonatite. Strontium mineralisation is consistently developed throughout the system and is emerging as a meaningful co-product opportunity, with strong market fundamentals and clear potential to enhance overall project economics. The presence of abundant magnetite has also prompted the Company to expand metallurgical test work to assess recovery pathways for a potential magnetite concentrate and ferroniobium as additional revenue streams.
The Company has not provided any high-importance, price-sensitive forward-looking financial metrics in the announcement.
Kameelburg is rapidly advancing toward development, and the Company believes it is positioning as a globally significant critical minerals project. The Company is leveraging the momentum by accelerating resource definition, expanding metallurgical workstreams across multiple commodities and progressing early-stage development studies.
