Yandal Resources Commences Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Air-Core Drilling

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Yandal Resources (ASX: YRL) is drilling a first phase of air-core (AC) drilling across the Caladan and Irulan target areas within the company’s Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) gold project in Western Australia.

Yandal Resources considers the Caladan and Irulan target areas to represent early-stage, large-scale exploration targets that it identified via a ground gravity survey in early 2024.

The air-core drilling will include one line across the core of the Caladan target area, testing the core of the Cal-01 anomaly and 800m spaced lines across the northern half of the Irulan target area that will test the IRU-01 anomaly.

“The ground gravity survey completed in early 2024 refined and highlighted the company’s interpretation of the mafic package, highlighting the extent of the dolerite complex and numerous cross-cutting structures,” Yandal Resources said in its ASX announcement.

“The Irulan dolerite complex presents an analogous litho-structural setting to the Jundee deposit, with a large dolerite complex that is bracketed by late volcano-sedimentary units and directly adjacent to the regional Ockerburry shear zone.”

Yandal Resources Extends Oblique Prospect Mineralisation

/in , /by

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Yandal Resources (ASX: YRL) reported initial assay results from the first three holes of a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program recently undertaken at the company’s Ironstone Well–Barwidgee (IWB) gold project in Western Australia.

Yandal Resources conducted the drilling across the project’s Oblique and Quarter Moon prospects achieving results confirming the presence of broad and high-grade mineralisation 500 metres north of any previous RC drilling completed by the company.

Intercepts include:

24IWBRC0002
15 metres at 1.7 grams per tonne gold from 74m, including 3m at 5.3g/t gold from 79m; and

24IWBRC0001
3m at 1.5g/t gold from 66m.

Yandal will continue RC drilling across the Oblique and then Quarter Moon prospects from April to early May, after which diamond drilling program is currently scheduled for commencement mid-May.

The company expects the initial diamond drilling across the Oblique prospect will provide detailed information regarding the host stratigraphy, structures, intrusive types and the nature of the magnetite-rich unit.

“It is very satisfying to see a compelling intercept in these early results, particularly given the difficult weather conditions endured by the team in March,” Yandal Resources managing director Tim Kennedy said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“These initial results demonstrate the under-explored nature and potential scale of the Oblique prospect, with a material intercept 500 metres north of any previous RC drilling by the company; we look forward to providing further updates as more results are received.”

YRLRC638
20m at 0.6g/t gold from 92m and 4m at 0.6g/t gold from 140m to end-of-hole (4m composite assay).

Malone Prospect – Air-core drilling

YRLAC653
7m at 0.3g/t gold from 37m, including 1m at 0.9g/t gold; and

YRLAC657
6m at 0.8g/t gold from 43m, including 1m at 4.1g/t gold, and 4m at 2.3g/t gold from 53m, including 1m at 8.8g/t gold.

Bradman Prospect – RC drilling

YRLRC646
32m at 0.2g/t gold from 80m, 12m at 2.2g/t gold from 256m, including 4m at 5.2g/t gold and 4m at 1.8g/t gold from 284m (4m composite assay).

The Cleft Prospect – RC drilling

YRLRC610
2m at 14.4g/t gold from 88m including 1m at 24.3g/t gold; and

YRLRC609B
1m at 2.7g/t gold from 142m.

“RC drilling is continuing at the Gordons Dam and Star of Gordons prospects until numerous Aircore, RC and diamond drilling results are received from the Malone, Andrews and Bradman prospects in order to evaluate and prioritise new drilling targets,” Yandal Resources said in its ASX announcement.
