QUARTERLY REPORT

Quarter Ended 30 June 2022

Aldoro Resources Ltd (Aldoro or the Company) (ASX: ARN) provides the following commentary and Appendix 5B for the Quarter ended 30 June 2022.

Highlights

  • Key lithium-Rubidium targets identified at Wyemandoo following extensive sampling program. High priority Domes identified for drilling
  • RC drilling conducted over high priority pegmatite outcrop at Domes 1 & 2 at the Wyemandoo Lithium-Rubidium Project.
  • Drilling the southern Dome 2, in an area of anomalous lithium and rubidium in rock chips, intersected multiple pegmatite many intersections characterized by purple lepidolites.
  • Drilling at Dome 1 confirms the presence of a large and shallow pegmatite sill with intersections of up to 6m.
  • Highly regarded pegmatite processing expert Professor Zhiguo He engaged to conduct processing methodology review of Wyemandoo and Niobe pegmatite mineralisation.
  • Professor He's engagement to focus on beneficiation and delivery of commercial grade rubidium and lithium.
  • Initial ~300kg of mineralised pegmatite consigned with an additional ~200kg to be freighted upon customs clearance.
  • Rubidium added to the Strategic Minerals list of the US and Japanese Governments

Wyemandoo Project

Rock chip sampling highlighted two priority Domes 1 & 2 for further investigation by RC drilling. At Dome 1 two loop structures (North and South) interpreted as a flat lying sill passing through the two adjacent hills. Rock chip sampling around these produced anomalous lithium (up to 2.06% Li2O) and Rubidium (up to 1.7%). A nearby dyke also reported 2.6% Li2O from previous sampling. At Dome 2 pegmatites rock samples reported Li2O up to 2.32% and rubidium up to 1.24% with both flat lying sills and dykes interpretated across the NE trending dyke swarm.

The maiden drilling programme commenced on the 13th of May and was completed after 27 RC holes for 3,594m were drilled and ranging from 84 to 201m in depth. The majority of the holes have intersected pegmatites of various intervals from <1m to 8m with mixed pegmatite-country rock zones up to 19m thick. The programme has been dictated by the pegmatite intersections where many have been interpretated as flat lying sills or moderately steeply dipping dykes orientated to the northwest.

To date drilling has concentrated in two areas, Dome 1 containing the two loop structures (Northern Loop and Southern Loop) and Dome 2 (approximately 5km southwest). The continual shallow intersections coupled by confidence garnered from XRF readings has been encouraging.

At Dome 2 drilling has intersected multiple purple lepidolite rich zones as well as an unidentified greenish aluminosilicate suggesting a hydrothermal origin for the mineralisation and a hunt for the

magmatic source is underway. Pegmatite intersection vary from thin intercepts to zones in excess of 12m. Figures 2 & 3 show lepidolite rich pegmatite intersections from RC chips for Holes WYC0009 & WYC0022.

The drill chip samples are currently at Intertek Genalysis awaiting analysis for the lithium suite of elements with a focus on the one metre pegmatitic intersections.

Metallurgy - Appointment of Professor Zhiguo He

Aldoro entered into an engagement with Dr. Zhiguo He of the Central South University of China ("Professor He") to undertake a commercialisation review of the Rb/Li mineralisation contained within Aldoro's Wyemandoo and Niobe projects ("Project mineralisation"). The review will encompass processing and beneficiation of both Projects mineralised pegmatites and provide Aldoro two processes being:

  1. The beneficiation process that delivers the most economically efficient process relative to the prevailing Rb & Li prices.
  2. The beneficiation process that produces the highest concentrate grade at the most efficient recovery of Rb and Li within contained mineralised pegmatite.

The commercialisation review is expected to take 8 months and an initial shipment of ~300kg of sample ore has been consigned to Professor He.

Professor He is highly regarded in the processing methodology field having successfully completed
