Dalaroo Metals (ASX:DAL) announced plans to fast-track its 2026 exploration program at the 100%-owned Blue Lagoon Critical Minerals Project in Greenland, following a highly successful maiden field campaign in 2025.
The initial program confirmed a coherent, district-scale mineral system, with all 113 samples returning anomalous values over a 2.7km strike, highlighting widespread rare earth elements, zirconium, and niobium mineralisation.
Peak assays recorded up to 0.81% total rare earth oxides, while heavy REEs, including dysprosium and terbium, and strategic metals such as hafnium, neodymium, and praseodymium showed strong lateral continuity.
Building on these results, Dalaroo’s 2026 campaign will combine targeted geophysics, lagoon depth surveys, composite auger drilling, upstream hard-rock sampling, and in-field XRF analysis to refine exploration models and identify drill-ready targets.
Mineralogical and metallurgical sampling will support early assessments of ore characteristics and potential recovery pathways.
The company also plans to engage closely with Greenlandic authorities, local municipalities, and communities to ensure compliance and maintain social licence.
CEO John Morgan said, "Blue Lagoon has rapidly emerged as a genuinely exciting critical minerals opportunity. Our 2026 program is designed to advance from first-pass surface results toward defined, drill-ready targets, de-risk the project, and explore low-cost beneficiation pathways."
At the time of reporting, Dalaroo Metals' share price was $0.084.
