Caladan: Momentum Builds in Mineralised Corridor

Air-Core Drilling Identifies Key Structures

At Caladan, Yandal commenced a large-scale air-core drilling initiative that aimed to test a structural corridor extending over several kilometres. Initial drilling has successfully defined a mineralised structure spanning a notable strike length. These early results indicate a consistent mineralised trend, with intercepts occurring in altered dolerite formations.

The completed air-core program builds upon previous reverse circulation drilling, and the geology points to the presence of extensive shearing and alteration patterns—elements often linked with gold accumulation in the region.

Strategic Focus on Structural Interpretation

Ongoing efforts at Caladan include refining the geological model and improving the understanding of structural influences. This work is key to pinpointing zones that merit deeper follow-up exploration, particularly along strike extensions where the mineralised footprint remains open.

New England Granite: Shaping the Siona Discovery

Diamond Drilling Reveals Multi-Zone Structure

At the Siona discovery within the New England Granite target area, diamond drilling has confirmed the existence of broad gold-bearing zones. While grades vary across the core, several higher-grade segments have emerged at depth, supporting the interpretation of a structurally complex and potentially expansive system.

Defining High-Priority Targets

A combination of ground gravity surveys and core analysis has allowed Yandal to define several new structural targets. These features, often situated near intrusive margins and major fault lines, are already undergoing initial drill testing. Upcoming assay results are anticipated to guide the next phase of exploration, as the company prioritises zones with favourable geological features.

Yandal Resources remains active across its exploration portfolio, with future drilling at both Caladan and New England Granite aimed at expanding the known mineralisation. In parallel, the company is undertaking a strategic review of its broader asset base to enhance focus and capital efficiency.
