Resource estimate for Orient West expected by July end

Drilling at Orient East and new targets underway

Iltani Resources (ASX:ILT) is progressing steadily at its flagship Orient Silver-Indium Project in Queensland, unveiling encouraging drilling results from its latest campaign at the Orient West prospect. These results come as the company prepares for a JORC-compliant resource estimate, anticipated by the end of July.

The latest diamond drilling campaign at Orient West delivered strong intersections of silver-indium mineralisation, confirming the prospect’s potential as a high-grade asset. Notable drillholes revealed significant silver-equivalent grades, which bolster confidence in the project's scale and mineralisation quality. The data obtained is particularly valuable, as the diamond core not only provides visual evidence of mineralisation but also offers critical structural and geological insights, essential for precise modelling and future targeting.

Alongside the current progress at Orient West, the company is awaiting results from drilling conducted at the neighbouring Orient East prospect. A separate JORC-compliant resource estimate for that area is expected in September 2025. In addition, final geophysical data from a versatile time domain electromagnetic survey is being modelled to identify fresh drilling targets within the greater Orient Project. Drilling on these new targets is scheduled to commence by the end of July.

The advanced analysis from the diamond core is aiding Iltani Resources (ILT) in understanding the mineralisation process, alteration zones, and host rock characteristics. This structural information is pivotal for refining future drilling strategies and enhancing project development efficiency.

Though Iltani Resources is not part of the ASX 100 companies, its exploration focus on silver and indium—both classified as critical minerals—places it in an advantageous position. The company is aligned with global trends supporting low-emission technologies, as these metals are vital in high-tech and green energy applications.

Looking ahead, Iltani’s plans include attending the upcoming Noosa Mining Investor Conference in July, where further details of the Orient Project’s progress are expected to be shared. With back-to-back resource updates, consistent drilling activity, and a pipeline of targets, the company is advancing with strategic clarity in the critical minerals space.

As the market watches for the next updates, particularly the JORC estimate, the Orient Project continues to shape up as a promising asset in Australia’s mineral exploration landscape.
