Yandal Resources (ASX:YRL) has reported priority results from two diamond drill holes at its Arrakis prospect within the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project in the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia, with hole 26IWBDD0018 returning 44.4 metres at 1.3 grams per tonne gold from 450.6 metres depth and hole 26IWBDD0019 returning 17.8 metres at 2.5 grams per tonne gold from 391.2 metres depth.

Key Points

Hole 26IWBDD0019 returned 17.8m at 2.5g/t Au from 391.2m (ETW 11m), including 9.9m at 3.1g/t Au from 391.6m and 2.9m at 3.1g/t Au from 403m
Hole 26IWBDD0018 returned 44.4m at 1.3g/t Au from 450.6m (ETW 28m)
An eight-hole, approximately 3,800-metre diamond drilling program was completed at Arrakis in early November
A nine-hole RC program of approximately 1,000 metres has commenced to test the shallow portion of Domain C
Additional diamond hole 26IWBDD0022 was added to test for Arrakis mineralisation approximately 100 metres below the previously reported 26IWBDD0017 intercept

Arrakis Diamond Drilling Results

Priority results from diamond holes 26IWBDD0018 and 26IWBDD0019 form part of an expanded eight-hole, approximately 3,800-metre diamond drilling program completed across the Arrakis prospect in early November. The program was designed to assess the scale of high-grade mineralisation at depth. According to the filing, results from 26IWBDD0018 and 26IWBDD0019 demonstrate the potential for mineralisation continuity at depth and for the mineralised system to produce both broad mineralisation and narrower high-grade mineralisation comparable to shallower drilling. Additional results from non-priority samples are anticipated in December.

Program Expansion and Pending Results

Geological observations from completed diamond holes 26IWBDD0020 and 26IWBDD0021 indicate that the Arrakis structure was successfully intercepted, with results from priority samples expected in late November. An additional diamond hole, 26IWBDD0022, was added to the program and completed approximately 100 metres below the previously reported 26IWBDD0017 intercept of 56.6 metres at 1.1g/t Au from 398.5 metres, which included 29.8 metres at 1.4g/t Au from 398.5 metres and 20.5 metres at 1.0g/t Au from 434.7 metres. Results from 26IWBDD0022 are also pending. Further drilling is needed to determine whether results from 26IWBDD0019 are associated with Domain C or Domain A.

RC Program Underway at Domain C and Siona Results

Following completion of the diamond drilling program at Arrakis, a nine-hole RC program of approximately 1,000 metres has commenced to test the shallow portion of Domain C, with the program expected to be completed over the coming weeks. The filing also disclosed final follow-up RC drilling results from the Siona prospect. Those results suggest shallow oxide gold mineralisation tied to a weathered intrusive margin parallel to Siona. The Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project is situated in the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia.
