en.Wedoany.com Reported - Recently, Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL), a gold exploration company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange, released a comprehensive exploration progress report, confirming significant advancements at its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project in the Yandal Greenstone Belt, northern Western Australia. New assay results continue to confirm the high-grade continuity of the Arrakis gold discovery, while the first systematic diamond drilling at the Flushing Meadows deposit has revealed multiple parallel mineralized structures at depth.

Founded on April 16, 2004, and headquartered in Nedlands, Western Australia, Yandal Resources Ltd is a company focused on gold exploration, holding a 100% interest in a portfolio of gold projects within the highly prospective Yandal and Norseman-Wiluna greenstone belts in Western Australia. This exploration progress focuses on the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project, located in the Goldfields region of Western Australia, just 30 kilometers east of Northern Star Resources' Wiluna gold mining operations, with well-established surrounding infrastructure.

Regarding the Arrakis gold discovery, the reverse circulation drilling program has successfully identified several potential high-grade gold trends within the known mineralized system. Key drill intercepts include: on the 6,250m north line, hole 26IWBRC0102 intersected 11 meters at 1.3 g/t gold from 236 meters, including a high-grade sub-interval of 2 meters at 3.2 g/t; hole 26IWBRC0091 intersected 4 meters at 2.1 g/t gold from 29 meters. Combined with previously reported intercepts—including 27 meters at 1.2 g/t gold from 87 meters, and 12 meters at 2.3 g/t gold from 152 meters—these results demonstrate consistent mineralization geometry and the continued presence of high-grade zones. Geological interpretation has defined a high-grade domain associated with the eastern or hanging wall boundary of the mineralized zone, with a strike length of approximately 150 meters, a near-vertical down-dip trend, and remaining open at depth.

At the Flushing Meadows deposit, the current Mineral Resource estimate, compliant with the JORC Code (2012), stands at 268,000 ounces at 1.1 g/t gold, with a surface strike length exceeding 1.9 kilometers. This drilling program marks the first systematic drilling into fresh bedrock at approximately 100 meters depth below the existing resource base. All six completed holes successfully intersected the down-dip extension of the Flushing Meadows mineralized structure. Geological logging has identified multiple parallel structures and alteration zones in both the hanging wall and footwall of the known mineralized trend, offering new potential for expanding the existing resource.

Managing Director Chris Oorschot stated that with more assay results expected in the coming weeks, the company is entering a critical phase in understanding the mineralized system. Assay results from targets offsetting the Arrakis discovery to the southeast are expected within 2 to 4 weeks, while results from the first diamond drill holes at Flushing Meadows are anticipated within 2 to 3 weeks. Additionally, a 10,000-meter air-core drilling program has commenced across the broader Flushing Meadows and Giedi Prime targets.
