• The November 2023 RC program across the Oblique Prospect within the Ironstone Well –
Barwidgee Gold Project is complete,
• 14 holes and three re-entries were completed for a total of 2,574m of drilling,
• Multiple fresh rock intercepts through targeted magnetic stratigraphy achieved,
• Magnetic feature now interpreted to be associated with a laterally continuous chloritemagnetite altered volcaniclastic, with a true width between 20m to 35m,
• Initial results are expected between late December 2023 and early January 2024.

Investor Hub at: https://investorhub.yandalresources.com.au/link/2P2Kwy
Commenting on the new results, Yandal Resources’ Managing Director, Mr Tim
Kennedy, said:
“Despite challenging drilling conditions, the team and our drilling partners were able to
complete a majority of the planned program successfully. With the increased number of fresh
rock intercepts, the Company’s geological understanding of the prospect has grown
substantially with each completed RC hole. The widths and strike extent of the relatively rigid
chlorite-magnetite altered unit observed in this phase of drilling is very encouraging. We look
forward to receiving and interpreting results in the coming weeks.”

Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that
the phase 2 Reverse-Circulation (RC) drilling program across the Oblique Prospect (E 53/1882) is
complete. The Oblique Prospect is part of the Company’s 100% owned Ironstone Well-Barwidgee
Gold Project, located within the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia, situated between the
Jundee and Bronzewing Operations. The program follows up on results from an initial RC campaign
undertaken in September, which confirmed the broader prospectivity of Oblique. Oblique comprises a
broad regolith gold anomaly associated with a magnetic high and has a target footprint with a strike
extent of more than 1.9km based on historic shallow drilling.
Program Summary
A total of 14 RC holes and three RC re-entries were completed for 2,574m of drilling testing along an
overall strike length of 1.2km (see Table 1 and Figure 2). Hole depths ranged between 72m and
270m, with numerous fresh rock intercepts attained within and around the targeted magnetic
stratigraphy. This RC program builds on the results from RC drilling completed in September 2023
(see ASX Release of 25th October 2023).
The program aimed to:
•
Further test mineralisation within the currently defined Exploration Target extents,
•
Test for mineralisation 400m south of previous RC drilling and
•
Obtain several intercepts of mineralisation within fresh rock.
The drilling combined with magnetic susceptibility data has resulted in a revision of the interpreted
host package from silica-rich sediment to a broad 20-35m wide chlorite-magnetite altered
volcaniclastic unit. Drilling has reaffirmed this same unit as the source of the Oblique magnetic
anomaly (See Figure 2). The unit appears laterally continuous with local fluctuation in the magnetic
response observed, including de-magnetised zones.
All samples have been dispatched to the lab for analysis, with results expected between late
December 2023 and early January 2024.
Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Lithium Review
An initial review of the pegmatite-hosted lithium prospectivity across the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee
Project has been completed. The review identified several broad areas of interest, with a regional
program designed to assess these areas commencing with the completion of a small orientation soil
sampling program in mid-November and the delineation of several areas for field reconnaissance in
early 2024. The results of the orientation soil sampling program are expected in early 2024.

LOOKING AHEAD
The Company has a very active H1 2024 planned with priority exploration activities, including;
1. Interpretation of results from the November RC drilling program across the Oblique Prospect,
expected in late December 2023 and early January 2024. In addition to this, preparations are
underway for diamond drilling in early 2024.
2. The refinement of exploration targets for follow-up RC drilling across the 4.2km eastern
granite margin of the New England Granite (“NEG”) Prospect is underway. This will be
assisted through EIS co-funding to support the completion of two deep (400m) diamond holes
across the NEG prospect. Drilling is being scheduled for early in the 2024 field season.
3. Preparation for drill testing Quarter Moon just south of Oblique in the Ironstone WellBarwidgee Gold Project in H1 2024
4. Finalisation of exploration targets and drilling strategy across the expanded Gordons Gold
Project.
5. An interpretation of the orientation soil sampling program results at the Ironstone WellBarwidgee project, due in early 2024, with field reconnaissance across areas of interest
scheduled for early 2024. A review of the lithium potential across the Mt McClure and Gordons
Project areas will be completed in early 2024.

JORC Code (2012) Table 1, Sections 1 and 2
Mr Christopher Oorschot, Exploration Manager 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.
•
•
A total of 14 Reverse Circulation (RC) holes and three RC re-entries have been drilled across the
Oblique Prospect for a total of 2,574m. Drill holes vary in depth from 72m to 270m.
Yandal Resources (YRL) RC Samples were collected via a rig-mounted static cone splitter, splitting
approximately 12.5% of the total sample. Two splits are collected for each metre: a primary sample and
a duplicate sample. The primary 1m samples are then sent to a lab for further analysis. While the
duplicate samples are retained on-site unless submitted as a routine duplicate.
For all YRL RC drilling, magnetic Susceptibility measurements were collected at one-metre intervals
downhole utilising a KT-10 instrument.
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 metre drilled: a primary sample 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.
No calibrations were applied to magnetic susceptibility data collected from YRL RC drilling.
RC drilling was used to obtain 1m samples from which a portion, between 1-3kg in weight, was 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. No results have yet been received.
Intervals of high magnetic susceptibility were verified by the supervising geologist.
•
For YRL RC drilling, a 139mm diameter face sampling bit and hammer was used.

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 commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

For YRL holes, RC drilling recoveries are visually assessed by the supervising geologist, and any lowvolume 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. For deeper holes, larger drilling equipment is used, with boosted air
pressure, to ensure samples are recovered, and groundwater is reasonably controlled.
Based on current data, no grade bias is associated with lower/higher volume/weight samples. There
have been some wet or damp samples received from RC drilling across Oblique Prospect in the most
recent program.
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 mineralisation. All 1m samples are wet-sieved and retained in labelled and
annotated chip trays. Chip trays are stored on-site for review and transported to Perth for long-term
storage. The quality of logging information is considered sufficient to support appropriate 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.
YRL RC drilling utilised a rig-mounted cone splitter installed directly below and in line with the rigmounted cyclone. Two 1-3kg sub-samples are collected into calico bags labelled with a unique alphanumeric ID. Most samples collected were dry; however, a higher proportion of samples were returned
wet towards the end of deeper holes. 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 pulverised
to nominally 85%, passing 75µm. Best practice preparation (comparable to the above) is assumed for
historic RC drilling.
Repeat analysis of pulp samples occurs across 5% of all submitted YRL samples.
Field duplicates are routinely collected at an initial rate of 1 duplicate for every 20 samples collected.
Sample sizes are considered appropriate given the fine to medium-grained nature of the sampled
material. The average weight of 1m samples after the most recent RC program was 1.7kg.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material being sampled.

For YRL RC Drilling, RC samples will be assayed using a 50g fire assay with AAS (atomic absorption
spectroscopy) finish for gold analysis with a 0.01ppm detection limit by Aurum Laboratories in
Beckenham, Western Australia. This is considered a total digest and appropriate for the targeted style
of mineralisation.
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 un-identifiable by the lab when received. QAQC performance is monitored upon receipt of
each batch of results and 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 once all samples for a program are received.
For all YRL RC drilling, magnetic Susceptibility measurements were collected at one-metre intervals
downhole utilising a KT-10 instrument. No calibrations were applied to the data collected. Intervals of
high magnetic susceptibility were verified by the supervising geologist.
Significant intercepts from YRL RC drilling will be 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.
For YRL RC Drilling, primary sampling and logging data are entered into .xlsx spreadsheets and
retained on the company server located in the Perth office. The data is validated and imported into the
YRL cloud-hosted MX Deposits 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.
Intervals of high magnetic susceptibility were verified by the supervising geologist using a swing magnet
to confirm the presence of magnetic minerals within the interval.
All drill collar locations were initially pegged and surveyed using a handheld Garmin GPS, accurate to
within 3-5m. Completed collars are then surveyed by a licensed surveyor using a DGPS device accurate
to <0.1m. All holes were downhole surveyed using a gyroscopic survey tool producing azimuth readings
relative to true north that is then converted to UTM MGA94 Zone 51s.
All spatial data presented is relative to UTM MGA94 Zone 51s.
All YRL collars were surveyed by DGPS, and topographic measurements are of high quality and
precision for use in Mineral Resource Estimation. DGPS collars have also been used to generate a
topographic surface model. The terrain around the prospect area is relatively flat, with no severe
changes in topography.
Holes were variably spaced so as to allow an assessment of the program's aims. At Oblique, the line
spacing was variable; however, the aim was to complete drilling on an approximate 50m by 50m
spacing. All collar details/coordinates are supplied in Table 1.

The hole/data spacing and distribution given for RC drilling completed at Oblique is sufficient to establish
a preliminary assessment of the degree of geological and grade continuity; the current spacing of
intercepts is not appropriate for estimating a Mineral Resource.
No results are reported within the announcement.
For Oblique RC drilling, the orientation of all sampling is at a high angle to the main mineralised trend
and the orientation of stratigraphic horizons. Drill holes have been drilled on a -60-degree angle
perpendicular to the interpreted strike of mineralisation and stratigraphy. The mineralisation geometry
is assumed to be relatively simple and planar (based on interpretations using previous drilling, new
results, and comparisons to adjacent mined deposits). As such, the sampling orientation is believed to
be appropriate and unbiased. Several structures are cross-cutting the interpreted host, and there may
be local variations in the geometry of mineralisation; the impact of such structures is poorly understood
due to the early-stage nature of the prospect.
For Oblique, the drilling orientation relative to the geometry of mineralisation and stratigraphy is unlikely
to produce a material sampling bias as sample lengths are interpreted to be close to the true width;
however, there are a number of structures cross-cutting the interpreted host, and there may be local
variations in the geometry of mineralisation. These structures will be considered as results are received.
All YRL samples were collected on-site under the supervision of the supervising geologist. Calico bags
are tied, grouped into larger poly-weave bags sealed with cable ties, and then placed into sealed bulker
bags. The labelled bulker bags are then transported to Perth directly to the laboratory for analysis via a
