Aali has portable pxrf lab arriving in next couple of weeks after shipping delays from Australia, with training scheduled for end of November, expected to be operational before Christmas and providing gold and silver results within 48 hours of drilling collection

Aali doesn't need permits to drill but needs social license to operate based on community relations, with first quarter 2025 drilling target pending IP results that will help understand optimal drilling locations

A discovery for Aali Resources is defined as economic drill intercepts within early stage program that are coherent across at least couple of lines or few holes, not a geochemical anomaly alone, making the 3.5 km footprint a geochemical anomaly but not yet a discovery

Regolith is variable with some transported zones masking geochemical signatures and other areas with shallower cover showing clear anomalies, with soil sampling showing core values of 100+ ppb gold up to 4500 ppb, providing multiple layers of evidence for continuity of structure and mineralization trend

Drilling costs in West Africa are roughly $170-180 USD per meter drilled and assayed, with assay costs around $40, making total cost per hole approximately $180 USD per meter including drilling and assay

Pxrf does not produce false positives for geochemistry at elevated element levels that are many times above detection limit, but requires care at high grades where it may underreport, and geochemistry is valued for trends rather than precision matching that labs achieve

IP survey planned for November-December after rice harvest to avoid damaging subsistence crops that people rely on for family feeding, with hope to pick up structural trend matching geochemistry and provide confidence for drilling targeting in Q1 2025

Aali's exploration success reflects a philosophy of understanding geology thoroughly and drilling systematically rather than broadly, allowing drilling cost optimization and maximization of drilling meters done relative to budget through higher success rate
