High-Grade RC Intercepts Confirm Discovery Potential at the Malone Gold Prospect
-
Highly encouraging assay results have been returned from first pass reconnaissance RC drilling at the Malone prospect including;
-
➢ 3m @ 8.16g/t Au from 130m including 1m @ 22.05g/t Au (YRLRC0579)
-
➢ 5m @ 3.59g/t Au from 47m including 1m @ 12.30g/t Au (YRLRC0584)
-
➢ 18m @ 0.90g/t Au from 94m including 2m @ 4.67g/t Au (YRLRC0583)
-
Reconnaissance Air-core drilling continues to expand the area of anomalous gold at Malone and provides additional priority RC targets with intercepts including;
-
➢ 34m @ 384ppb Au from 40m to end-of-hole including 4m @ 3,426ppb Au (YRLAC0657)
-
➢ 6m @ 243ppb Au from 84m to end-of-hole including 2m @ 1,009ppb Au (YRLAC0666) ➢ 8m @ 420ppb Au from 36m including 4m @ 686ppb Au (YRLAC0653)

Exploration has ramped-up with the commencement of diamond drilling increasing the rigs in operation at the Malone and Gordons Dam prospects to four.
Yandal Resources’ Managing Director; Mr Lorry Hughes commented:
“These are the highest RC grades to date from the Malone prospect, the results, particularly from within the primary zone give us strong encouragement that further drilling at depth and along strike could significantly extend the mineralisation.
The gold discovered at Malone is interpreted to relate to a well-defined west dipping geological contact between felsic and mafic volcanic rock units which can be traced for 4.5km in strike length within Yandal’s ground.
It is interpreted that the high-grades encountered thus far could also be influenced by a cross-cutting eastwest oriented structure that can be traced extending in the direction of the Gordons Dam prospect located 500m to the east.
In addition the Air-core program continues to intersect significant gold at or near the fresh rock boundary which could represent mineralisation zones sub-parallel to the Malone contact therefore providing further high-priority RC and diamond drilling targets.
Assay results are pending from 54 RC and 142 Air-core holes which have been completed along the majority of the 4.5km Malone contact zone and adjacent prospect areas.

Malone and Gordons Dam Prospects
At the Malone Prospect (Figures 2 & 3) individual 1m fire-assay results have been received from 13 reconnaissance reverse circulation (“RC”) holes for 1,545m completed during the June Quarter as a followup to anomalous Air-core (“AC”) drilling results[1] . The holes have returned some highly encouraging results including;
-
➢ 3m @ 8.16g/t Au from 130m including 1m @ 22.05g/t Au (YRLRC579)
-
➢ 5m @ 3.59g/t Au from 47m including 1m @ 12.30g/t Au (YRLRC584)
-
➢ 18m @ 0.90g/t Au from 94m including 1m @ 7.22g/t Au (YRLRC583)
-
➢ 7m @ 0.67g/t Au from 46m including 1m @ 3.35g/t Au (YRLRC581)
-
➢ 5m @ 0.50g/t Au from 68m including 1m @ 2.03g/t Au (YRLRC585).
The holes were drilled in a southerly direction to target an interpreted east-west trending structure parallel or sub-parallel to the Gordons Dam palaeochannel located 500m to the north-east. Subsequent to the completion of the south directed holes the mineralised north-south oriented felsic-mafic contact (“Malone Contact”) was recognised.
Recent and future RC/diamond drilling at the Malone Contact is oriented in a westerly direction designed to intersect the interpreted Malone contact mineralisation zones at a perpendicular angle. The mineralisation intersected to date at the prospect is located in multiple zones either within the immediate contact zone and within sub-parallel zones within the mafic footwall rocks. Variable amounts of fine and coarse sulphides with vein quartz have been noted in geological logging.

Four metre composite aqua regia assay results have been received from 16 reconnaissance AC drill holes completed to blade refusal. A number of highly encouraging results have extended the area of anomalous mineralisation including;
- ➢ 34m @ 384ppb Au from 40m to end-of-hole including 4m @ 3,426ppb Au (YRLAC657) ➢ 6m @ 243ppb Au from 84m to end-of-hole including 2m @ 1,009ppb Au (YRLAC666) ➢ 8m @ 420ppb Au from 36m including 4m @ 686ppb Au (YRLAC653).
To improve the understanding of the Malone mineralisation at depth an initial two hole diamond drilling program has commenced to test beneath the best intercepts to date. In addition results are pending from 52 RC and 142 AC holes completed along the Malone and adjacent contacts. The results when combined with the pending diamond drill hole data should provide the Company with a sound basis to evaluate the size potential of the discovery.
At the Gordons Dam Prospect (Figures 2 & 4) individual fire-assay results have been received from eight reconnaissance RC holes and one diamond hole as a follow-up to earlier anomalous AC and RC intercepts[1] . The holes have returned some encouraging results including;
-
➢ 6m @ 1.04g/t Au from 45m including 1m @ 1.93g/t Au (YRLRC550)
-
➢ 15m @ 0.22g/t Au from 141m including 1m @ 1.42g/t Au and 1m @ 8.21g/t Au from 177m (YRLRC591)
-
➢ 1.30m @ 1.52g/t Au from 85.70m including 0.40m @ 4.40g/t Au and
-
➢ 1.00m @ 0.82g/t Au from 115.00m including 0.40m @ 1.44g/t Au and
-
➢ 0.45m @ 2.12g/t Au from 216.95m (YRLDD008).
Geological and structural interpretation of the results received to date suggest that the highest grade mineralisation is contained within narrow sulphidic quartz veins both within an intrusive granite porphyry and within a deformed pillow basalt sequence. The quartz veins occur at various orientations and are also interpreted to occur parallel to the porphyry contact.
Complicating factors to the interpretation of the mineralisation is the presence of a second unmineralised intrusive porphyry unit and reverse faulting which appear to have offset mineralisation zones.
An additional 240m diamond hole with follow-up RC holes are planned to confirm the current structural interpretation and to evaluate the potential for extensions of high-grade mineralisation at depth.
Further to the south of the Gordons Dam prospect AC holes are planned to initially test the prospectivity of ~8km of strike along the newly defined Alderman Contact (Figure 2).
Next Steps
Key exploration activities planned during the September and December Quarters include;
-
Receive and interpret RC and AC assays from drilling completed at the Malone, Cleft, Sheperd, Waterline, Star of Gordon, Sims Find, Cash and Flushing Meadows North prospects;
-
Continue focus on drilling with four rigs at the Gordons Dam and Malone prospects and determine target size potential as soon as possible;
-
Drill high-impact RC program with potential follow-up diamond drilling at the Mt McClure project.
