New Lode Confirmed at the Mt McClure Gold Project

Shallow intercepts demonstrate potential within a 3km long target zone at the HMS Sulphur prospect

  • Confirmation and extension RC drilling has returned highly encouraging results from multiple prospects adjacent to and beneath historic open pit mines located 20km southwest of Bronzewing. Highlights include;

HMS Sulphur Prospect (New unmined footwall lode northwest of the Success open pit)

  • 11m @ 2.56g/t Au from 73m including 1m @ 12.24g/t from 83m (YRLRC401) ➢ 6m @ 1.61g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 5.35g/t from 39m (YRLRC400)

Parmelia Deeps Prospect (Down dip extension beneath the Parmelia open pit)

  • 2m @ 4.81g/t Au from 178m and 2m @ 5.22g/t from 206m including 1m @ 7.13g/t (YRLRC419)

Challenger Prospect (North and south strike extensions of the Challenger open pits)

  • 5m @ 3.56g/t Au from 84m including 1m @ 10.58g/t from 85m (YRLRC409)

  • 6m @ 2.53g/t Au from 81m including 1m @ 8.95g/t from 82m (YRLRC410)

  • 19m @ 1.27g/t Au from 39m including 1m @ 5.38g/t from 54m (YRLRC418)

  • 6m @ 2.53g/t Au from 81m including 1m @ 8.95g/t from 82m (YRLRC410)

  • 6m @ 2.75g/t Au from 54m including 1m @ 10.06g/t (YRLRC416)

  • 14m @ 1.22g/t Au from 29m including 1m @ 5.48g/t from 39m (YRLRC424)

  • Preparation for high-impact RC drilling including holes to 350m depth is underway.

Yandal Resources’ Managing Director; Mr Lorry Hughes commented:

“The HMS Sulphur lode is an exciting prospect where limited reconnaissance drilling along 3km of strike has outlined significant mineralisation which has not been tested at depth. The distribution of the gold intersected thus far suggests strong similarities to mineralisation that continues at depth at neighbouring prospects such as Success and Parmelia.

Beneath the Parmelia pit, the chance of finding substantial depth extensions has been greatly enhanced as the previous interpretation suggested strong mineralisation did not continue very far beyond the base of the historic pit. That is clearly not the case from the new results and I look forward to bringing forward the testing of this target in our priority drilling schedule”.

Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL , “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that it has intersected significant mineralisation at a number of prospects within the 100%-owned Mt McClure gold project in Western Australia (Figures 1-6). The project is located 20km via existing haul roads from the Bronzewing processing facility owned by Northern Star Resources Ltd (ASX: NST).

A total of 26 angled reverse circulation (“RC”) holes for 2,813m at downhole depths between 60-258m were completed in the December Quarter 2020 to confirm and extend known mineralisation[1] . The program was successful and planning for follow-up drilling is well advanced for commencement in the June Quarter 2021.

HMS Sulphur Prospect

Three holes for 216m were completed and confirmed shallow mineralisation over a strike length of ~100m occurring within a 3km long trend defined by historic reconnaissance RAB and Air-core drilling (Figures 1, 2, 3 & 6). Highlights include;

  • 11m @ 2.56g/t Au from 73m including 1m @ 12.24g/t from 83m (YRLRC401)

  • 6m @ 1.61g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 5.35g/t from 39m (YRLRC400)

  • 8m @ 0.74g/t Au from 36m including 1m @ 3.77g/t from 37m (YRLRC402)

The prospect is considered completely open at depth with no drilling in the down dip position for the entire 3km strike length. Gold occurs within strongly oxidised mafic and volcanogenic sedimentary rocks and the geological interpretation suggests there is strong potential for continuity of the mineralisation within primary rocks at depth.

The HMS Sulphur mineralisation occurs ~200m into the footwall of the parallel Success prospect which was open pit mined to ~85m vertical depth and has been intersected at ~180m vertical depth in places.

Parmelia Prospect

Five holes for 536m were completed at the Parmelia and Anomaly 37 prospects. Hole YRLRC0419 successfully confirmed high grade mineralisation extends at least 100m beyond the limits of the historic Parmelia open pit (Figures 1, 4, 5 & 6). Highlights include;

  • 2m @ 4.81g/t Au from 178m and 6m @ 2.09g/t Au from 203m including 2m @ 5.22g/t from 206m (YRLRC419)

The area beneath the Parmelia pit has received very little or no drilling to specifically target depth extensions for the entire ~600m strike length of the known mineralisation. The limited drilling appears to be too shallow to intersect the east dipping lodes or were of a reconnaissance nature completed at the initial stages of exploration.

Challenger Prospects

Thirteen holes for 1,397m were completed at the Challenger North, South, Central, Way South and Anomaly 33 prospects to confirm and extend historic mineralisation. Holes were completed at depths between 23162m and upgraded the prospectivity of several prospects (Figures 1 & 6). Highlights include;

  • 7m @ 2.59g/t Au from 84m including 5m @ 3.56g/t and 1m @ 10.58g/t from 84m (YRLRC409) ➢ 10m @ 1.65g/t Au from 81m including 6m @ 2.53g/t and 1m @ 8.95g/t from 81m (YRLRC410)

Figure 6 – Mt McClure project plan with new drill collars, Challenger prospects significant intercept highlights, infrastructure and geological interpretation (Refer Figure 1).

Most holes returned significant mineralisation which is interpreted to dip moderately towards the east which is the case with all the known Mt McClure prospects. The new results are currently being assessed to determine the most prospective targets for high-impact follow-up drilling.

Refer to Table 1 for a list of all RC drilling collar details and significant intercepts >0.10g/t Au for each prospect tested in the December Quarter 2020.

Next Steps

Key exploration activities planned during the March and June Quarters include;

  • Design and prepare follow-up programs for the highest priority high-impact RC drilling at the Mt McClure project;

  • Receive and interpret Air-core and RC assays from the Gordons (Gordons Dam, Star of Gordon, Holloways) and Barwidgee projects (Rosewall and Sims Find) and continue with ground preparation for high-impact RC and diamond follow-up programs across the target portfolio;

  • Continue with RC drilling at Sims Find and commence reconnaissance drilling between Flinders Park and Flushing Meadows, along strike from Oblique and Quarter Moon and commence high-impact RC drilling at all prospects;

  • Complete dewatering test bore at Flushing Meadows.
