Dalaroo Metals is preparing to start a 20,000-metre maiden drilling campaign at its Bondoukou gold project in Côte d’Ivoire. Multiple outlets report that the drilling is expected to commence in early August, with drill rods set to begin spinning then. The campaign is described as an initial phase aimed at testing a gold target along a corridor at the project. One source specifies that phase one includes 10,000 metres of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. This RC program is intended to assess a roughly 7-kilometre-long gold corridor. The reporting is consistent that the overall effort totals 20,000 metres and represents Dalaroo’s first drilling program at the Bondoukou site. Across the articles, the key details—location, drilling scale, maiden status, and timing in early August—are aligned, with the phase-one breakdown and corridor length provided in at least one account. No sources dispute the planned start timeframe or the project being in Côte d’Ivoire.
