Dalaroo Metals LimitedD
Dalaroo Metals Limited (ASX: DAL), Perth-based, holds 100% of the Lyons River Project (~838km2, Gascoyne region, WA), where gold is described by the company as 'leading the charge' at the Goodbody gold prospect (a maiden aircore program was planned for the 2026 field season), alongside REE-carbonatite targets and a 9km x 6km LCT-pegmatite lithium target within the same tenement. Separately, the 100%-owned Namban Project (north of Perth, WA) targets nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation in the same geological setting as Chalice Mining's Julimar discovery, ~80km to the south. The company also holds a rare-earths interest in Greenland (recently moved to full ownership).

Lifecycle Milestones
Jurisdiction (40%)9/10
Western Australia: Fraser PPI 2025 is 88.53 of 100 (rank 13 of 68), which maps to 9 on this site's scale. Western Australia (Gascoyne region) is a Tier-1, well-established Australian mining jurisdiction. (Company also holds a Greenland rare-earths interest -- not the basis for this score, as the actively-drilled gold/nickel-PGE assets are both WA-based.)
Infrastructure (40%)No verified figure
Researched with nothing found: no source we could cite confirms or rules out an existing mill, road access, grid power, or tailings facility at Lyons River Project, Gascoyne Province, Western Australia (checked Sep 26, 2026; recheck due Mar 25, 2027). Counts at a neutral 5/10 until one does.
Nearby producing mine (20%)Not yet researched
No project coordinates on file yet, so distance to a producing mine can't be measured.
Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
Weight 25% - Distance to a producing mineSub-score: Not yet researched
Distance not yet researched: no project coordinates on file
Distance can't be measured without coordinates, so excluded rather than counted as far.
Weight 22.5% - Lifecycle stageSub-score:1/10
