  • New broad zones of primary gold mineralisation returned RC drill holes targeting primary structures to be followed up with a new 8,500m Air-core and RC program scheduled to commence on 18 August.

Yandal Resources’ Managing Director; Mr Lorry Hughes commented:

“Drilling continues to provide strong encouragement that there is a significant gold deposit to be discovered at the Gordons Dam prospect. High-grades from shallow depths and widespread anomalous gold in primary rocks over a 700m strike length is what we have so far.

I think it is clear that the gold mineralisation discovered to date within shallow palaeochannel sediments and in adjacent supergene and primary rocks, has the potential to be included in a Mineral Resource Estimate. We plan to systematically expand our understanding of the mineralisation system through aggressive drilling, robust QA/QC sampling programs and the compilation of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate in the December Quarter”.

Figure 2 – Gordons Dam prospect collar plan highlighting the known palaeochannel and proximal oxide and primary mineralisation trends. Hole collars shown in yellow are AC with results pending.

Twenty one RC holes for 1,632m were completed to test for extensions adjacent to and along strike from mineralisation hosted within shallow oxidised palaeochannel sediments, felsic porphyry and mafic rocks.

Fifteen vertical RC holes for 900m were completed to a set depth of 60m each and were designed to target sub horizontal supergene oxide and palaeochannel hosted mineralisation known to occur along a nominal strike length of ~400m oriented southwest to northeast. The holes were positioned on a regular 25m by 20m grid and designed to provide sufficient quality and close spaced geological data to be included in a Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”).

1 Refer to Yandal Resources Ltd Replacement Prospectus dated 22 November 2018 lodged on the ASX 12 December 2018, 2 Refer to YRL ASX announcement dated 27 February 2020.

ASX Announcement 13 August 2020

Several significant downhole intercepts were returned from the expected palaeochannel position including;

  • 1m @ 5.27g/t Au within 9m @ 0.72g/t Au from 32m (YRLRC0301)

  • 1m @ 22.29g/t Au within 23m @ 1.54g/t Au from 40m (YRLRC0307)

  • 1m @ 5.99g/t Au within 19m @ 0.96g/t Au from 31m (YRLRC0311)

The Company plans to expand the 25m by 20m MRE drilling grid within the palaeochannel area to the northwest, northeast and southwest as significant shallow oxide mineralisation has been intersected in earlier AC and RC programs including;

  • 1m @ 47.96g/t Au within 8m @ 7.33g/t Au from 35m (YRLRC0019)[2]

  • 3m @ 18.31g/t Au within 8m @ 7.47g/t Au from 34m (YRLRC0024)[2]

  • 2m @ 5.07g/t Au within 5m @ 2.44g/t Au from 40m (YRLAC0047)[2]

  • 4m @ 13.16g/t Au from 35m (KESGR1321)[3]

  • 10m @ 3.98g/t Au from 32m (KESGR1323)[3]

  • 5m @ 4.79g/t Au from 36m (KESGR1340)[3]

  • 4m @ 11.80g/t Au within 10m @ 6.02g/t Au from 30m (KESGR1345)[3]

Comprehensive quality assurance and quality control (“QA/QC”) sampling and re-assay programs will be completed to assess the repeatability and high nugget distribution of gold recognised in the near surface mineralisation intercepts.

In addition a number of the vertical holes returned significant bottom of hole gold intercepts within primary rock types suggesting multiple underlying primary targets trending beneath the palaeochannel. These include;

  • 2m @ 0.14g/t Au from 58m (YRLRC0306)

  • 17m @ 0.20g/t Au from 43m (YRLRC0308)

  • 3m @ 0.52g/t Au from 57m (YRLRC0311)

  • 1m @ 0.23g/t Au from 59m (YRLRC0312)

Six deeper angled RC holes ranging in depth from 90-150m (total 732m) were completed to target interpreted dipping primary mineralisation related to shears, porphyry and mafic rocks. Several broad low grade intercepts were returned including;

  • 3m @ 0.69g/t Au and 1m @ 0.57g/t Au within 11m @ 0.34g/t Au from 50m (YRLRC0319)

  • 2m @ 1.09g/t Au and 6m @ 0.88g/t Au within 15m @ 0.63g/t Au from 38m and

  • 3m @ 0.59g/t Au within 19m @ 0.23g/t Au from 55m

  • 1m @ 3.89g/t Au within 18m @ 0.36g/t Au from 85m (YRLRC0320)

  • 1m @ 1.39g/t Au within 9m @ 0.54g/t Au from 87m (YRLRC0321)

Approximately 5,500m of follow up RC drilling is planned to commence on 18 August and will aim to expand shallow mineralisation envelopes and test beneath multiple highly anomalous bedrock AC and RC intervals returned from earlier programs.

In July a program of 65 AC holes for ~4,000m was completed at Gordons Dam to explore for new palaeochannel and bedrock mineralisation adjacent to and along strike from known mineralisation. All results are anticipated in August and anomalous results immediately followed up with RC drilling (Figures 1-2).

A new AC program of ~3,000m will commence toward the end of the RC program and will aim to extend the strike of the known mineralisation footprint to the south east. The entire 700m strike length and possible extensions to the south east represent a high priority exploration target for ongoing follow-up to assess the potential to define new Mineral Resources.

All drill hole collar information and 1m sample assay results are included in Table 1.

Star of Gordon Prospect

Two RC holes for 186m were completed to test specific targets proximal to historic mine workings and along strike from the operating Gordon-Sirdar underground gold mine (Figure 3). Significant mineralisation was intersected in both holes including;

  • 2m @ 2.58g/t Au including 1m @ 3.08g/t Au within 5m @ 1.27g/t Au from 32m (YRLRC0314) and

  • 2m @ 1.70g/t Au including 1m @ 1.92g/t Au within 11m @ 0.54g/t Au from 28m (YRLRC0315).

Up to 500m of follow up RC drilling will be completed at the prospect upon completion of the Gordons Dam RC program in August.

All drill hole collar information and 1m sample assay results are included in Table 1.

Next Steps

Key exploration activities planned during the September Quarter at the Gordons project include;

  • Commence and complete new 5,500m RC program at Gordons Dam and Star of Gordon prospects;

  • Receive and review pending results from 65 AC holes at Gordons Dam and commence new 3,000m AC program including Cleft prospect;

  • Complete comprehensive QA/QC data collection/analyses and commence compilation of a maiden MRE for Gordons Dam;

  • Receive RC results and design diamond drill program for Gordons Dam.
