Aldoro Resources (ARN) is set to begin drilling on the Niobe East pegmatite system in Western Australia.

A Heritage Site Avoidance Survey with the Traditional Wajarri Owners has cleared the planned drill sites, allowing work to begin on December 10.

Drilling will begin on the Niobe East pegmatite system with aims to increase the exploration target which has been subject to limited historical drilling and rock chip sampling.

The rock chip sampling indicated that anomalous lithium and rubidium extend a strike of over 400 metres.

Once drilling is completed at Niobe East, the rig will move to the Breakaway and Niobe Southeast pegmatites where drilling has not tested for lithium and rubidium.

Rock chip sampling at Breakaway identified anomalous lithium and rubidium extends over a strike of 100 metres while anomalous rubidium has been identified at Niobe Southeast.

All up, 66 holes will be drilled across the Niobe East, Breakaway and Niobe Southeast pegmatites.

Aldoro was up 3.70 per cent on the market with shares trading at 42 cents at 12:59 pm AEDT.
