Expanded drilling program at Orient East

Following results from an infill drilling phase, the company has committed to another series of reverse circulation holes at Orient East. This next round of drilling will focus on extending the area of defined mineralisation, with work planned across multiple new drill locations.

Enhancing resource definition

The Orient East program covers a defined zone within the broader Orient Project area. Earlier drilling had identified broad intersections containing silver and associated minerals. The updated work plan includes targeting both previously drilled sections and untested extensions, aiming to build a more robust resource model.

Geological observations

Results from recent drilling indicate continuity of mineralisation at depth, with certain intercepts displaying higher silver equivalent grades within broader zones. Down dip extensions remain open, providing additional scope for future geological modelling once the current program concludes.

Adjustments to resource estimate schedule

The planned additional drilling has led to an updated timeline for the maiden resource estimate. The extended program is expected to deliver more comprehensive geological data, enabling the inclusion of greater tonnage and grade in the final resource statement.

Project area and geological setting

The Orient Silver-Indium Project is situated in a mineral-rich region of North Queensland, historically known for silver and base metal occurrences. The area hosts multiple mineralised structures, with exploration to date focusing on zones where silver, indium, and other critical minerals occur together within defined geological units.

Company exploration strategy

Iltani Resources’ broader exploration portfolio spans Queensland and Tasmania, with a strategy centred on the discovery and development of base metals and critical minerals to support low-emission technologies. The current drilling at Orient East forms part of this multi-project approach, aligning field activities with resource development goals.
