Final RC Results Received from the Arrakis Prospect
Diamond Drilling to Commence
• Results from the final three holes from the broadly spaced 7-hole Arrakis RC
program completed earlier in September have been received.
• Result and geological observations suggest that 25IWBRC0044 and
25IWBRC0046 ended short of the targeted Arrakis structure, and diamond
tails extending both holes will be prioritised and completed in the coming
weeks.
• A diamond core rig has been mobilised with drilling to commence in the
coming days.
• Diamond drilling will also be completed below recently reported intercepts
(see ASX releases 22 & 24 September 2025) that include:
o 54m*1 @ 1.2g/t Au from 108m to EOH in 25IWBRC0040, including
24m @ 2.1g/t Au from 138m to EOH. This interval further includes:
• 8m @ 4.7g/t Au from 154m to EOH.
o 50*1m @ 1.3g/t Au from 122m in 25IWBRC0042 (ETW of 24m), including
28m @ 1.9g/t Au from 143m. This interval further includes:
• 9m @ 2.1g/t Au from 145m, and
• 7m @ 2.7g/t Au from 164m.
*1: Down-hole width reported, as true width is uncertain, and further drilling is required to confirm the geometry of
mineralisation.
• The approximately 2,000m diamond drilling program is anticipated to be
completed in four to six weeks, with results expected in December.
• Preparations are also underway for a circa. 5,000m RC program at Arrakis
across 200m spaced lines that will commence in November.
• The recently completed A$13.5 million capital raising enables Yandal
Resources to expand and accelerate exploration across the Ironstone-Well
Barwidgee Gold Project, including the Arrakis discovery, New England
Granite target area and Flushing Meadows deposit.

Commenting on the new results, Yandal Resources’ Managing Director, Mr. Chris Oorschot,
said: “Geological logging from previous intercepts indicate that a zone of intense silica
alteration or micro-crystalline veining marks the eastern boundary of mineralisation, and
while intense alteration and deformation were observed in these last three RC holes,
particularly within 25IWBRC0044 and 25IWBRC0046, a comparison of alteration types and
zonation suggests they finished before the targeted Arrakis structure. While it is
disappointing that these final RC holes did not penetrate the targeted Arrakis structure,
they provide a perfect pre-collar for diamond drilling, potentially enabling speedy access
to oriented diamond core intercepting the Arrakis structure.
Arrakis is the result of an exploration strategy that is centred on delivering large-scale
discoveries. The Caladan target area and the discovery of Arrakis therein have progressed
rapidly over the last three months. This progress has been made utilising broad 800m and
400m spaced drill lines that were applied to identify evidence of the broad mineralised
system. There is plenty of work ahead, with early results suggesting an extensive mineralised
system. Looking ahead, the team will focus on understanding the full extent of
mineralisation over the coming months.”
Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to report that
the results from 25IWBRC0044, 25IWBRC0045, and 25IWBRC0046, part of the recently completed
reverse circulation (RC) drilling program across the Arrakis Prospect, have been received. The RC
drilling program included seven (7) RC holes for a total of 1,374m, across 400m and 800m spaced
lines targeting mineralisation intercepted within recent air-core drilling that defines the more than
2.2km long mineralised Arrakis structure (see Figure 3). The RC program was designed to confirm
the continuity and geometry of mineralisation within fresh rock below several significant air-core
intercepts that occurred in either fully or partially weathered rock.
RC holes 25IWBRC0044 and 25IWBRC0046 (see Figure 1) did not return significant intercepts. A
geological review indicates that neither of the RC holes intercepted the targeted Arrakis
mineralisation. Furthermore, the targeted Arrakis structure is likely to be intercepted if both holes
are extended, with diamond core tails designed and scheduled for completion in the coming
weeks.
RC hole 25IWBRC0045 was drilled to test below an air-core intercept of 5m @ 0.7g/t from 112m to
EOH in 25IWBAC0052, located 800m northwest of the 2.2km mineralised Arrakis trend. The RC hole
has effectively tested below this intercept and returned only low-level gold anomalism within
fresh rock. Logging indicates a broad zone of shearing was intercepted with intense chlorite
alteration; however, the alteration styles associated with Arrakis mineralisation were not
observed.
yandalresources.com.au | ASX:YRL 3
The broadly spaced seven-hole RC program has successfully confirmed Arrakis as a new gold
discovery and achieved its core aims of assessing mineralisation continuity into fresh rock and
verifying the geometry of mineralisation on section. The results of this program demonstrate the
potential for a mineralised system of regional significance. Diamond core drilling is scheduled to
commence in the coming days and will include several re-entries of RC holes (diamond tails, see
Figure 2) and several deeper diamond holes below recently reported intercepts (see ASX releases
22 September 2025 and 24 September 2025). In addition to this, RC drilling across 200m spaced
lines is scheduled to commence in November to define the extent of mineralisation across the
Arrakis discovery.
The Arrakis Prospect is located within the Caladan target area (tenements E 53/1843, E 53/2304,
E 53/2192 and E 53/1882), part of the broader Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project (see Figure
4), located 60km south of the Jundee mining complex (ASX: NST), and 18km north the recent
Siona discovery, within the Yandal Greenstone Belt.
Next Steps
An approximately 2,000m diamond core program will commence in the coming days. The
program will aim to complete several re-entries extending RC holes that ended within or adjacent
to mineralisation. In addition to this, several new diamond holes from the surface will be
completed to test below the recent intercepts from 25IWBRC0040 and 25IWBRC0042 (see Figure
2).
A heritage survey clearing 100m spaced lines across the Arrakis Prospect is underway to provide
significant capacity for closer spaced drilling across the Arrakis discovery.
A 5,000m RC drilling program has been scheduled for November. This drilling will aim to complete
drilling on 200m spaced lines across the 2.2km striking Arrakis trend, to delineate the extent of the
mineralised system and begin to understand how gold mineralisation varies along strike and at
depth.

JORC Code (2012) Table 1, Sections 1 and 2
Mr Christopher Oorschot, Managing Director of Yandal Resources, compiled the information in Section 1 and Section 2 of the following JORC Table 1 and
is the Competent Person for those sections. The following Table and Sections are provided to ensure compliance with the JORC Code (2012 edition)
requirements for the reporting of Exploration Results.
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random
chips, or specific specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under
investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
• Yandal Resources has completed RC drilling across several 400m and 800m spaced lines across
the Arrakis Prospect, targeting fresh rock mineralisation below recently reported air-core
intercepts. The drilling involved 139mm face sampling bit down to between 162m and 288m.
Holes were drilled at an angle of -60° to the southwest.
• Yandal Resources (YRL) RC drilling samples were collected via a rig-mounted static cone
splitter, splitting approximately 12.5% of the total sample volume. Two splits are collected for
each metre: a primary and duplicate sample. The primary 1m samples are then sent to a lab
for further analysis. The duplicate samples are retained on-site unless they are submitted as
routine duplicates.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample
representivity and the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
• For YRL RC drilling, the cone splitter is regularly cleaned and inspected. The 1m bulk samples
are laid out in drill order. These bulk samples are regularly inspected for contamination, and
the volume of the bulk sample is monitored. These bulk samples are retained until all results are
received and may be used to collect additional field duplicates to verify lab results, logged
geology or any other form of analysis. If the bulk sample appears visually low in volume or
weight, this is recorded with the sample details. The same applies to damp or wet samples.
• Two splits are collected for each drilled metre: a primary and a secondary sample. The
Secondary sample is retained on-site and may be used to collect additional field duplicates
to verify lab results, logged geology or any other form of analysis
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a
30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual
• RC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which a portion, between 1-5kg in weight, was
dispatched to Aurum Laboratories Pty Ltd:
• At the lab, samples were crushed and pulverised to produce a 50g charge for fire assay with
an AAS (atomic absorption spectroscopy) finish for gold determination with a 0.01ppm
detection limit.

commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and
details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth
of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
• For YRL RC drilling, a 139mm diameter face sampling bit and hammer was used.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample
recoveries and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery
and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred
due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
• For YRL holes, RC drilling recoveries are visually assessed by the supervising geologist, and any
low-volume or weight samples are recorded, along with any damp or wet samples. Drill depths
are routinely verified at the completion of each drill rod (every 6m). The cone splitter is checked
for each drill site to ensure it is completely upright and level. Sample collection from the splitter
by drilling off-siders is monitored for any inefficiencies.
• Within the limited drilling completed, there appears to be no correlation between sample
recovery and sample grade.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically
and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies
and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature.
Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged.
• For YRL drilling, all RC holes have been logged in full by a qualified and experienced geologist.
RC chips and fines from each 1m interval drilled are inspected and logged for colour,
weathering, lithology, deformation, veining and sulphide species. All 1m samples are sieved
and retained in labelled and annotated chip trays. Chip trays are transported to Perth for long-
term storage and are available for review. The quality of logging information is considered
sufficient to support Mineral Resource Estimation studies.
• Data captured through geological logging by a geologist is qualitative in nature.
• In addition to geological logging, the magnetic susceptibility of each interval is measured using
a KT-10 magnetic susceptibility metre, with a sensitivity of 1x10-6 SI Units. Magnetic susceptibility
readings are quantitative in nature.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or
all core taken.
• YRL RC drilling utilised a rig-mounted cone splitter installed directly below and in line with the
rig-mounted cyclone. Two 1-3kg sub-samples are collected into calico bags labelled with a
unique alpha-numeric ID. A majority of the samples collected were dry; if samples were damp
or wet, this was noted in the sample records.
• For all YRL RC drilling, samples are dried at 100°C to constant mass, crushed to <10mm and

0.01ppm detection limit.
• Magnetic susceptibility measurements were taken every meter using a KT-10 V2 instrument with
a sensitivity of 1x10-6 SI Units.
• YRL QAQC field protocols include the insertion of commercially prepared certified reference
material (CRM) and blank material at a rate of approximately 1 CRM/blank for every 20
samples collected. CRMs used are unidentifiable by the lab when received. QAQC
performance is monitored upon receipt of each batch of results and re-assessed once all
samples for a program are received.
• Laboratory QA/QC protocols involve inserting internal lab standards using CRMs, blanks,
repeat analysis of pulps and screen tests (the percentage of pulverised material passing 75µm
mesh). Laboratory QAQC results are reported with each batch. Laboratory QAQC
performance is monitored upon receipt of each batch of results and assessed again once all
samples for a program are received.
Verification
of sampling
and assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either
independent or alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
• Significant intercepts from YRL RC drilling are verified by YRL geologists through the visual
inspection of chips, reviewing the spatial location of mineralisation relative to previous
intercepts, and in the case of high-grade gold intercepts, the panning of drill fines to visually
confirm gold in samples.
• No twinned holes have been completed across the Caladan or Irulan target area.

Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• For YRL RC drilling, primary sampling and logging data are captured directly into the MX
deposit application and uploaded directly to the cloud-hosted MX Deposit database.
• The first assay result for each sample is used for the reporting of significant intercepts, and no
adjustments have been made to the assay data.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes
(collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
• All drill collar locations were initially pegged and surveyed using a handheld Garmin GPS,
which was accurate to within +/- 5m. RLs are determined using a detailed surface DTM.
• All RC holes were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool, producing azimuth
readings relative to true north that are then converted to UTM MGA94 Zone 51s. Readings are
collected at a maximum spacing of 30m downhole or better.
