Key Highlights

Hole 26IWBDD0019 returned 17.8 metres at 2.5 g/t gold from 391.2 metres, with an estimated true width of 11 metres.
Hole 26IWBDD0018 returned 44.4 metres at 1.3 g/t gold from 450.6 metres, with an estimated true width of 28 metres.
Two further diamond holes have intersected the Arrakis structure, with priority results expected in late November.
A nine-hole RC program is underway to test the shallow portion of Domain C.

Yandal Resources Limited (ASX:YRL) has reported priority results from diamond drilling at Arrakis within its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project in the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia, according to an announcement dated 12 November 2026. The results indicate that gold mineralisation continues at depth, with both broad and higher-grade intervals present. The company also reported that the Arrakis structure was intersected in two further holes, with results due in late November.

Results at depth

Hole 26IWBDD0019 returned 17.8 metres at 2.5 g/t gold from 391.2 metres, with an estimated true width of 11 metres. Within that interval, 9.9 metres returned 3.1 g/t from 391.6 metres, and 2.9 metres returned 3.1 g/t from 403 metres. Hole 26IWBDD0018 returned 44.4 metres at 1.3 g/t gold from 450.6 metres, with an estimated true width of 28 metres.

The company also reported that hole 26IWBDD0022, drilled about 100 metres below an earlier reverse circulation intercept, has been completed. Earlier results from hole 26IWBDD0017 returned 56.6 metres at 1.1 g/t from 398.5 metres, including 29.8 metres at 1.4 g/t.

Next steps

A nine-hole RC program is underway to test the shallow portion of Domain C. Priority samples from holes 26IWBDD0020 and 26IWBDD0021 are expected in late November. The company's investor hub provides further information on the program.

Final Word

The Arrakis results show gold at depth in both broad and higher-grade zones, with estimated true widths reported for the key intercepts. Grades vary between holes, and the results will need to be integrated into the wider geological model. The RC program and the pending diamond results will show whether the mineralisation can be traced across the structure.
