ALDORO RESOURCES LIMITED released its latest exploration update from the Kameelburg Project in Namibia. The report details extensive diamond drilling with over 95% core recovery, rigorous QA/QC in accredited labs, and comprehensive core logging, reinforcing confidence in the carbonatite’s potential for significant rare earth and niobium mineralisation.

The announcement details an extensive exploration report prepared in accordance with the 2012 JORC Code. The report explains the sampling and drilling techniques used throughout the 2025 diamond drilling program. All core was logged meticulously for geological and structural information and then systematically cut at one‐meter intervals. The sampling process involved splitting the core and processing one half for assay analysis through accredited international and NATA‐accredited laboratories, with rigorous QAQC measures including duplicate samples, coarse blanks, and certified reference materials. These procedures have been documented to ensure that the analytical results are representative and accurate, with over 12.5% of samples inserted as QAQC to verify the overall process. The detailed commentary also covers the drilling methods employed using industry-standard triple tube diamond drilling. Every drill hole was logged in both qualitative and quantitative detail, with digital records maintained for all collar and downhole surveys. The survey data, based on high-precision GPS and DEM-derived elevation, underpin the spatial accuracy of the drillhole locations and subsequent geological interpretations. The report includes comprehensive data aggregation methods, no weighting or high-grade truncations, and a 1% TREO cut-off grade was used for reporting exploration results. The JORC table further explains the consistent sampling techniques, core recovery (with most recoveries above 95% in mineralised areas), and the methods employed to secure, transport, and document all samples. Geologically, the report confirms that the mineralisation is hosted in a carbonatite plug that is approximately 1.4km in diameter and rises up to 275m above the surrounding peneplain in the northern Central Damara Orogenic Belt of Namibia. It highlights a polymetallic system featuring rare earth elements, niobium, and molybdenum, with early-stage drilling indicating homogeneity within multiple phases of the intrusion. The mineralisation style is interpreted to be analogous to the Niobec deposit in Canada, with different phases showing enrichment in niobium versus rare earth elements. The drilling campaign has produced a significant dataset, displayed in plan and cross-sectional diagrams, which will inform the next stage of work to delineate a maiden resource estimate. Bullish sentiment arises from the deployment of industry-standard, robust QAQC procedures and comprehensive documentation of exploration activities. The company's disciplined approach to sampling, detailed logging of diamond core, and transparent reporting practices instill confidence for investors in the potential discovery of a substantial mineral resource. However, as the true widths of intersections remain uncertain and further drilling remains planned to fully define the mineralised envelope, some bearish caution is warranted until maiden resource estimates are released and further scale and continuity of the mineralisation are confirmed.
