Phase II Drilling Update at Niobe
- Fifteen more RC holes were completed at Niobe
- All holes intersected pegmatite intervals at multiple intervals below the surface
- Pegmatite intersections continue to confirm those from historical drilling
- pXRF readings compare well with historic assay results
Aldoro Resources Limited (Aldoro, The Company) (ASX: ARN) is pleased to provide an exploration update for the Mineral Resource drilling program at the Niobe Project. A further fifteen holes have been completed, with all intersecting pegmatites. The full results of these holes will be announced when geological logs, systematic pXRF readings, and QAQC checks are completed.

The results of the second phase of drilling at Niobe continue to encourage, with intersections of pegmatites confirming historical drilling. Pegmatite intersections have continued to be as thick or thicker and located where predicted. Full details of the pegmatite intersections will be announced when detailed logging, pXRF, and QAQC checks are completed.
Abundant mica species have continued to be identified in geological logs, further encouraging the ongoing drill program.
A pXRF program is underway, scanning every metre of RC drilling to fast-track interpretation and planning. The results of the pXRF readings will be reported as they come to hand.

Forward Plan
The drilling program is ongoing to completion, with the aim of estimating a JORC2012 reportable Mineral Resource when all assay results have been received.
The RC rig will then mobilise to the Wyemandoo Project, where an extensive greenfields drill program is planned.
