- Numerous significant intercepts from latest diamond drilling program
- Results demonstrate both broad and higher-grade mineralisation are present at depth
- Completed diamond holes have all successfully intercepted Arrakis structure
- Additional diamond hole added to the program
Yandal Resources (ASX: YRL) is ramping up drilling at the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) gold project in WA after obtaining significant diamond drilling results.

Priority results from Arrakis diamond holes have identified depth potential with new holes added to the program.
Two new diamond holes are part of an expanded eight-hole, 3,800m diamond drilling program completed across Arrakis that is designed to test the scale of high-grade mineralisation at depth.
The diamond drilling program was completed in early November with results from additional holes 26IWBDD0018 and 26IWBDD0019 demonstrating the potential for strong mineralisation continuity at depth and for the mineralised system to produce both broad mineralisation and narrower high-grade mineralisation comparable to shallower drilling.
Significant intercepts in 26IWBDD0019 include 17.8m at 2.5 grams per tonne (g/t) from 391.2m including 9.9m at 3.1 g/t from 391.6m and 2.9m at 3.1 g/t Au from 403m and 44.4m at 1.3 g/t from 450.6m in 26IWBDD0018.
The company says further drilling is needed to determine if the results from 26IWBDD0019 are associated with Domain C or Domain A. Geological observations from diamond holes 26IWBDD0020 and 26IWBDD0021 indicate the Arrakis structure was successfully intercepted.
An additional diamond hole, 26IWBDD0022, was added to the program to test for Arrakis mineralisation approximately 100m below the recently reported 26IWBDD0017 intercept of 56.6m at 1.1 g/t from 398.5m.
Final follow-up RC drilling results from Siona have also been received.
Results suggest shallow oxide gold mineralisation tied to a weathered intrusive margin parallel to Siona.
The active exploration programs across the IWB Gold Project are advancing well.
An infill RC drilling program of approximately 1,000m to define the shallow up-dip component of Domain C is underway at Arrakis, with results expected in early January.
Follow-up air-core drilling across the Anders target (parallel to Arrakis) will commence in late November.
YRL was steady at 7.7¢ with a Mkt cap of $29.46M.
