Yugo Metals explores the St Nicholas project in Republika Srpska, and the announcement sets out the access terms ahead of its first drilling. The release is dated earlier than the session, so the share price movement and the announcement are reported as separate items.
Land access agreement (6 October 2026)
Yugo signed an agreement with the private owner of ground hosting its planned drill sites at the Petrovo Tenement in the St Nicholas project. It covers 1.82 hectares for six years, including the planned drill sites and a key historical drilling area, with rights for access, drilling, sampling, Geophysical surveys and other exploration, and subject to permits, Mining and processing.
Terms and timetable
The company has an option to purchase the land at any time during the term. Consideration is EUR300,000, payable in Australian dollars, and 18,000,000 Yugo shares escrowed for 24 months. An induced polarisation survey was due to start the following week, with drilling to follow the results in the fourth quarter of 2026.
About Yugo Metals
Yugo Metals Limited (ASX:YUG) is based in Booragoon, Western Australia, and is exploring in Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where private land access is an early requirement for explorers.
Related sector context
Exploration in the Balkans often requires agreements with private landowners before drilling. The company said securing access removes a pre-drilling hurdle at Petrovo.
The XJO was up 0.11% at 2:06 pm on the day.
Risks to weigh in
Drilling depends on the IP survey results, permits and licences, and historical drill results have yet to be confirmed. The share consideration adds to shares on issue, and shares priced at $0.042 can move sharply in either direction.
Catalysts on watch
Items to follow include the IP survey, the start of drilling in the fourth quarter and any exercise of the land purchase option.
