Gordons Dam RC drilling returns highest primary gold grades to date

High-impact diamond and RC drilling to resume in early May

  • New multi-directional RC drilling targeting primary gold mineralisation beneath the Gordons Dam palaeochannel discovery has returned further encouraging intercepts including;

Gordons Dam Primary Zone

  • 2m @ 10.83g/t Au from 118m to end-of-hole including 1m @ 20.68g/t from 118m (YRLRC543)

  • 2m @ 11.10g/t Au from 73m including 1m @ 20.41g/t from 73m (YRLRC539)

  • 6m @ 3.39g/t Au from 116m including 1m @ 9.25g/t from 119m (YRLRC533)

Gordons Dam Oxide Zone

  • 19m @ 2.86g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 38.07g/t from 37m (YRLRC530)

  • 9m @ 3.78g/t Au from 31m including 1m @ 23.01g/t from 32m (YRLRC540)

  • 5m @ 5.85g/t Au from 38m including 1m @ 26.28g/t from 38m (YRLRC528A)

  • High-impact diamond drilling to determine the scale of the discovery is planned to commence in the second week of May.

Yandal Resources’ Managing Director; Mr Lorry Hughes commented:

“The new high-grade primary mineralisation is interpreted to strike in a NNW - SSE direction sub-parallel to the known porphyry intrusion and has a sub-vertical dip. Combining the geological information from the 2020 diamond core drilling program, specifically the orientation of high-grade quartz veins and structures, a highgrade zone can be traced for at least 200m in strike length and is open.

The zone is interpreted to be one of several similarly oriented zones confined within a broader structural zone that is related to a moderately east dipping “main” zone that has been intruded by the porphyry. The porphyry contains gold mineralisation with disseminated sulphides and quartz veins and it has displaced gold bearing quartz veins and structures.

Exploration will continue to target large extensions of the intrusion as it is believed it has intruded into a major gold bearing structure. Further drilling and data analysis is required to ascertain the main controlling features on the mineralisation and an expert structural study is planned during May/June to aid the definition of high-impact mineralisation targets going forward”.

Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL , “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to report new downhole fire assay results from reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling at the Gordons Dam gold prospect within the Gordons gold project located in the highly prospective Kalgoorlie-Boulder Region of Western Australia (Figure 1).

A total of 22 holes for 2,531m were completed in March and drilled at four different directions (azimuths) to test a number of geological interpretations prior to design of expansion diamond and RC drilling at depth (Figure 2). Preparation to complete a follow-up diamond hole to target mineralisation at ~250m depth has commenced.

Four metre composite assay results are pending from the top 28m of each hole and from holes that were not completed to planned depth due to adverse drilling conditions. The sample intervals from 28m to the end of each hole were submitted for analyses as a priority and numerous significant intervals were returned including;

  • 2m @ 10.83g/t Au from 118m to end-of-hole including 1m @ 20.68g/t from 118m (YRLRC543)

The new results confirm high-grade structures and variably oriented gold bearing sulphidic quartz veins with a subvertical dip. These are interpreted to occur in multiple zones and within a broader structural zone that dips moderately to the east and is intruded by a mineralised porphyry unit (Figures 2 & 3).

A high-grade zone can be traced for over 200m in strike length oblique to the porphyry intrusion, is open and requires further drilling at depth. The porphyry contains disseminated gold mineralisation with sulphides and stockwork style quartz veining and it has displaced gold bearing quartz veins and structures within mafic rocks.

Exploration will continue to target extensions of the main structural zone containing the intrusive porphyry as this is a style of mineralisation known to host large deposits in the vicinity. A detailed structural study of the known mineralisation and geology is planned to be undertaken in May to define large-scale exploration targets for diamond drill testing in the near term.

Next Steps

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

  • Release remaining assays from multi-directional RC drilling at the Gordons Dam Main Zone;

  • Commence diamond drilling to test for porphyry related mineralisation down dip of the Main Zone;

  • Receive and release remaining AC results and commence follow-up RC testing at Malone and Gordons Dam South East;

  • Receive and release RC results from the Star of Gordons prospect.
