Highlights
- 388 metres of uninterrupted niobium mineralisation found at Aldoro Resources' Kameelburg project in Namibia, with sampling from Line 3 yielding 0.52% Nb₂O₅ (niobium pentoxide).
- Rare earth element (REE) mineralisation was also identified, with the Line 3 site remaining open in all directions for further exploration.
- Aldoro shares surged 20.69% to 35 cents following the announcement, reflecting strong investor confidence.
Aldoro Resources Ltd (ASX:ARN) has made a significant discovery at its Kameelburg project in Namibia, reporting 388 metres of uninterrupted niobium mineralisation at Line 3. This development has sparked investor enthusiasm, pushing the company’s share price up by 20.69% to 35 cents as of 10:36 AEDT.
Discovery Details
Sampling from the Line 3 site has yielded niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) grades of 0.52%, marking a promising outcome for the exploration project. Additionally, the line revealed rare earth element (REE) mineralisation, which remains open in all directions for further exploration, suggesting significant untapped potential.
These latest findings extend mineralisation across the final 168 metres of Line 3, highlighting the area’s resource richness. The company has already collected several samples for metallurgical and beneficiation testing, and results from an additional 4,500 metres of trench sampling are eagerly awaited.
Previous Milestones
In July, Aldoro gained investor attention with strong niobium recoveries at Kameelburg. Metallurgical testing conducted by Bureau Veritas Minerals in Perth demonstrated niobium recoveries of 62.4% through a process involving crushing, grinding, magnetic separation, acid washing, and flotation. These results underscored the viability of the project and its potential for commercial-scale niobium extraction.
Investor Reaction
News of the uninterrupted niobium mineralisation has led to a surge in Aldoro's stock price, reflecting heightened investor confidence in the project’s long-term prospects. The discovery of rare earth element mineralisation further adds to the project's strategic value, particularly as demand for niobium and rare earths continues to rise in industries such as electronics, aerospace, and renewable energy.
