Highlights:
Arika Resources extends the mineralised zone at Landed at Last, surpassing previous estimates in strike length and depth.
Phase 2 drilling at Yundamindra uncovers wide gold intersections, identifying multiple high-grade zones.
Plans are in place to resume drilling, focusing on expanding mineralisation and assessing newly identified targets.
Arika Resources (ASX:ARI) continues its drilling efforts at the Landed at Last prospect, part of the Yundamindra project in Western Australia. Recent reverse circulation drilling has expanded the mineralised strike length beyond earlier estimates, with depth extensions also confirmed. Wide gold intersections have been reported, aligning with projected geological models and reinforcing exploration priorities in the region.
Geological Significance of the Yundamindra Project
The Yundamindra project is located within a historically significant gold corridor that has seen substantial production over time. Despite this, large portions remain insufficiently explored, particularly beyond shallow drilling zones from past campaigns. Systematic exploration techniques have led to the identification of extensive gold-in-soil anomalies, highlighting areas for detailed assessment and future drilling.
Proximity to Established Mining Operations
The project’s location near the Guyer joint venture between Iceni Gold (ASX:ICL) and Gold Road Resources (ASX:GOR) places it within a well-explored mining region. By integrating historical geochemical data with modern geological interpretations, Arika Resources is refining exploration strategies. Drilling activities are set to resume, prioritising extensions at Pennyweight Point and Landed at Last, while evaluating newly outlined targets.
Newly Identified Exploration Prospects
Recent drilling has confirmed additional geological structures, including a newly discovered flat-lying hanging wall lode. Although some drill holes did not reach projected depths, this discovery provides further avenues for investigation. The company is continuing its structured approach to exploration, incorporating both geophysical and geochemical data to enhance target definition.
Upcoming Exploration Activities
Arika Resources is also reviewing the Kookynie project to establish priority exploration targets. Plans are in motion to conduct geochemical surveys across key areas, with results expected to shape future drill programs. These efforts are designed to strengthen exploration initiatives and advance resource assessment across multiple project sites.
