VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Jan. 26, 2024 -- Central Iron Ore Limited (CIO – TSX.V) (“CIO” or “the Company”) is
pleased to announce this Exploration Update.
South Darlot Joint Venture
Soil Sampling Programmes
Two geochemical soil sampling programs were undertaken to test for low level gold anomalism on tenements M37/421 and
M37/632. A total of 209 samples were collected and dispatched to LabWest Laboratories in Perth for Ultrafine+ geochemical
assay. Results for the sampling are yet to be evaluated.
Drilling
A multi target Reverse Circulation (RC) drill campaign was completed across six target areas not influenced by native title
clearance on tenements M37/631 and M37/632. Forty-six holes for a total of 2,644 metres was completed over three weeks.
Results for the drilling are still pending.
Mermaid
Ten reverse circulation resource delineation drillholes for 782 metres were completed. The purpose of these holes was to
extend the current mineralised outline both at depth and laterally. This round of drilling further consolidated the Mermaid
resource.
New Targets
Following data collation and interpretation during Quarter 3, twenty-seven shallow reverse circulation drillholes for 1,246 metres
were completed across the historical mining areas of Sylvia, Kyneton, Weebo, Weebo North and Rose. Initial interpretation of
the RC chips has been promising with quartz lodes extending below historical mining.
Soils Targets
Targeted drilling across the centres of two of the soil geochemical anomaly targets not influenced by Native Title Clearance
was completed. Nine reverse circulation drillholes for 616 metres were drilled, initial interpretation of the RC chips has been
promising with quartz lodes being intercepted.
Native Title Clearance
Native title clearance for a selection of the soil sampling targets is ongoing. Following the completion of likely required heritage
surveys, the intent is to drill in the next 3 to 6 months.
British King
Preparation and planning for the whole project has commenced.
