Iltani Resources Ltd (ASX:ILT) shares were priced at $0.340 during the Trading session on 5 November 2026, up 15.25%. The S&P/ASX 200 was up 1.88%, or 166.10 points, at 9,000.60 at around 12:15 pm Sydney time, so the broader market was also trading higher during the session. Iltani is advancing the Orient Silver Zinc Indium Project in northern Queensland, which the company describes as one of the largest and highest-grade known silver zinc indium projects in Australia. Its latest update, dated 2 November 2026, reports new assay results.

Latest Development: Orient East Assay Results (2 November 2026)

In an ASX release dated 2 November 2026, Iltani reported assay results from 15 Orient East RC drill holes. The company said six intercepts returned more than 1,000 gram-metres of silver and six intercepts exceeded 1,000 gram-metres of silver equivalent, with five intercepts showing exceptional grades of more than 1,000g/t silver equivalent over 1m.

Hole ORR221 intersected 106m of mineralisation, which the company described as the thickest zone drilled to date at Orient. The drilling program is ongoing, and further results are expected.

Sector Context

The materials sector, which covers the bulk of ASX resource companies, was up 5.83% in the session, providing a supportive backdrop for explorers and producers. Base and precious metal explorers in Queensland can attract attention when drilling results show thick zones of mineralisation, although grades and widths vary across a project.

What to Watch Ahead

Investors may track further assay results from the ongoing Orient East program and any resource update that follows from the drilling.

Key Risks

Results are from an ongoing program, and not all holes have reported. High-grade intercepts may not be representative of the broader zone. Silver, zinc and indium prices can change quickly, and small-cap explorers depend on funding.

Final Word

Iltani shares rose in the session, and the company's most recent release covers its latest Orient East drilling. The remaining assays and any resource update will show how the mineralised system develops.
