Highlights
- Aldoro Resources Ltd completes transfer of Kameelburg licences in Namibia.
- Raised $1.54 million from Aurum Resources Ltd share sale.
- Exploration drilling for rare earth elements and niobium underway.
Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX:ARN) has achieved two major milestones recently, with the successful transfer of three Exclusive Prospecting Licences (EPLs) for the Kameelburg Rare Earths Project in Namibia and the generation of $1.54 million from selling shares in Aurum Resources Ltd (ASX:AUE).
The Namibian Ministry of Mines and Energy approved the transfer of EPL 7372, 7373, and 7895 to Aldoro’s joint venture company, Kameelburg Exploration Mining (Pty) Ltd, which had previously been held by Logan Exploration & Investments CC. These EPLs make up the entire Kameelburg Project, which spans an area of over 1,000 square kilometers and is known for its potential in rare earth elements (REE) and niobium resources.
The transfer comes after the Kameelburg licences were successfully renewed in August 2024, marking a significant step forward in Aldoro’s exploration activities. The renewal and transfer allow the company to move forward with its planned exploration work, focusing on the large carbonatite deposit within EPL 7373. Aldoro is gearing up for a 2,000-meter maiden drilling program that aims to assess the high-grade niobium dykes and REE concentrations on the southwestern side of the carbonatite.
In addition to these developments, Aldoro Resources strengthened its financial position by selling approximately 3.5 million shares in Aurum Resources, generating $1.54 million in proceeds, net of brokerage commissions. While this transaction added to the company's cash reserves, Aldoro still holds 1,545,592 shares in Aurum Resources, which has interests in the Boundiali Gold Project in Côte d'Ivoire. This move comes after a successful loyalty option entitlement offer to shareholders, followed by a shortfall placement that raised an additional $673,119 before costs.
These developments reflect Aldoro Resources Ltd's ongoing progress in both its exploration ventures and financial strategies, positioning the company for further growth in the sector.
