Aldoro Resources has reported its strongest result yet from the Kameelburg carbonatite in Namibia, with diamond hole DD005C cutting an impressive 184.2 metres at 2.0 per cent total rare earth oxides (TREO), 0.23 per cent niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) and 395 ppm molybdenum in the upper zone.
Beneath this, a lower layer added 141 metres at 0.92 per cent TREO, 0.32 per cent Nb₂O₅ and 142 ppm molybdenum, extending mineralisation by about 300 metres to the northwest.
The hole ended in mineralisation, reinforcing Aldoro’s model that Kameelburg remains open at depth and that grades improve along the intrusive margins.
Assays from two further diamond holes supported the strong result.
DD008B intersected 204.4 metres at 1.63 per cent TREO, 0.24 per cent Nb₂O₅ and 298 ppm molybdenum in the upper zone, with a further 64.5 metres at 0.73 per cent TREO, 0.15 per cent Nb₂O₅ and 253 ppm molybdenum in the lower zone.
DD008C cut 101.8 metres at 1.57 per cent TREO, 0.14 per cent Nb₂O₅ and 299 ppm molybdenum in the upper zone, underlain by 114.4 metres at 0.73 per cent TREO, 0.17 per cent Nb₂O₅ and 301 ppm molybdenum. Like DD005C, both holes ended in mineralisation, confirming the continuity of the system.
These results will feed into Aldoro’s updated Maiden Mineral Resource Estimate, expected this month.
The company has already mapped a mineralised footprint measuring 1.35 km long, 1.25 km wide and up to 510 m deep, with mineralisation open in multiple directions.
Chairperson Quinn Li said the latest assays are expected to drive “significant growth in the scale of the resource and an increase in grade of all three strategic metal categories.”
With Phase I drilling now complete—24 diamond holes totalling 9,525 m—Aldoro is preparing to commence Phase II in early October.
Two larger rigs capable of drilling beyond 750 m are being mobilised to test deeper extensions.
The program will target the nearby Omuronga Carbonatite for heavy rare earths and higher-grade niobium.
It will follow up on the high-grade niobium zone identified in hole DD005B, where drilling ended with six metres at 1.43 per cent Nb₂O₅, and extend drilling beneath the 500-metre horizon to define the full depth of the system.
Kameelburg’s carbonatite displays clear zoning, with rare earth–rich layers near the top, niobium enrichment at depth and along the edges, and molybdenum associated with later granitic intrusions.
Aldoro believes this supports the potential for a much larger niobium deposit at depth, which the upcoming deeper drilling will test.
Kameelburg, located in Namibia’s Kunene Region, is part of a wider belt of carbonatites and alkaline complexes in northwest Namibia, many of which are enriched in critical metals such as rare earths, niobium, and tantalum. Globally, carbonatite-hosted rare earth and niobium deposits—like Bayan Obo in China and Araxá in Brazil—are highly significant.
In Namibia, Kameelburg is attracting increasing attention due to its scale, grade, and systematic advancement by Aldoro amid growing global demand for secure critical mineral supplies for renewables, electronics, and electric vehicles.
Niobium is especially prized for reinforcing steel and advanced battery technologies, while rare earth elements are vital in permanent magnets for wind turbines and EV motors.
Molybdenum further enhances the project’s economics through its role in steel alloys and speciality applications.
With Phase II drilling targeting deeper zones and neighbouring intrusions, Kameelburg could emerge as one of southern Africa’s most important critical mineral plays.
Aldoro Resources is currently trading at A$0.47 per share as of mid-September 2025, reflecting a strong rally of over 300 per cent from a year earlier.
Market watchers have noted that technical indicators suggest a “Strong Buy” setup.
Some reports indicate support levels near A$0.355 and resistance near A$0.48.
Analysts view this momentum as being driven by Kameelburg’s advancing exploration success and the imminent resource estimate, which may act as a catalyst if it confirms increased scale and grade.
