Siona Diamond Drilling Results &
Caladan Air-Core Drilling to Commence Next Week
•
All results from diamond drilling across the Siona Discovery have been
received, with intercepts including:
o
16.3m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 322.2m in 25IWBRD0003
o
29.1m @ 0.4g/t Au from 282.9m in 25IWBRD0010
o
6.4m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 103.5m in 25IWBDD0009, including
•
0.3m @ 3.6g/t Au from 105.8m
•
0.4m @ 12.7g/t Au from 108.3m
•
0.4m @ 6.2g/t Au from 109.5m
•
Results demonstrate that broad, low-grade mineralisation with internal
higher-grade zones characterise the Siona mineralised system.
•
Geological interpretations suggest higher-grade zones within the broad
mineralisation envelope are associated with intervals of increased quartz
veining.
•
Looking ahead, exploration across the New England Granite target area will
focus on testing for significant mineralised positions across the large-scale
granodiorite host.
•
Diamond drilling data has allowed the development of a simple set of
targeting criteria to prioritise structural targets derived from recent
geophysics.
•
The next phase of drilling across the New England Granite will commence
post air-core drilling across the Caladan target area and will include
broadly spaced lines of air-core drilling across the Salusa Prospect and
several structural targets along the western margin.
•
The 12,500m Caladan air-core drilling program is on schedule to
commence in the last week of May.

Commenting on the new results, Yandal Resources’ Managing Director, Mr. Chris Oorschot,
said: “With the Siona discovery, Yandal Resources has demonstrated the capacity for the
New England Granite to host gold mineralisation. Critically, Yandal Resources controls the
full extent of this newly defined 2km by 4km granodiorite host within the Yandal Greenstone
Belt. With diamond drilling complete, the team are now armed with an advanced
understanding of the geological controls to mineralisation at Siona and is well placed to
target and identify similar and potentially larger opportunities across the New England
Granite.
After six months of exploration following the discovery, it is becoming clear that gold
mineralisation develops whenever the ghost granodiorite is deformed. Yandal Resources
going forward will look to identify the optimal structural setting for gold mineralisation along
the intrusive margin or internal to the NEG. Given the scale of the intrusive host, the
Company will shift its focus to air-core drilling to test key structural targets more efficiently.”
Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that
it has received all assay results from diamond drilling across the Siona discovery within the New
England Granite (NEG) target area. Four new diamond holes and two diamond tails were drilled
across Siona (See Figure 1). The New England Granite target area, including the Siona (within E
53/1843), is part of the broader Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project (see Figure 6), located
60km south of the Jundee mining complex (ASX: NST) within the Yandal Greenstone Belt.
Diamond drilling results have confirmed wide, low-grade mineralisation continuity at depth.
Geological analysis suggests continuous higher-grade mineralisation occurs within the broader
low-grade mineralisation, with the plunge direction controlled through the interaction of the
deformed intrusive margin and oblique cross-cutting shear zones.
Diamond drilling has provided critical geological observations that enable Yandal Resources to
model the broader mineralised system that hosts the Siona Discovery within the New England
Granite. A key observation from diamond drilling is that mineralisation is developing in multiple
geometries and wherever the host granodiorite has been deformed. It is likely that the Siona
mineralised system is not unique to the New England Granite. Given the broader structural setting
of the intrusive host, including several large-scale offsetting structures and proximity regional
shear zones, additional mineralisation occurrences are likely (see Figure 4). This concept is further
supported by RC drilling completed in early 2025, demonstrating mineralisation potential at the
recently identified Salusa Prospect (See ASX release 15 April 2025).

Siona Diamond Drilling Results
The Siona diamond drilling program was designed to test below a number of significant RC
intercepts and provide detailed geological information. The program included four holes for a
total of 1,498m of drilling (including RC pre-collars). In addition to this, two RC holes that ended in
mineralisation (24IWBRC0039 and 24IWBRC0056) were extended with short diamond tails for a
further 143m of diamond drilling (See Figure 1).
Diamond hole 25IWBRD0003 (Figure 2) was drilled approximately 170m below discovery hole
24IWBRC0039, and 25IWBRD0010 was drilled to a similar depth but along strike to the northwest.
While both holes intercepted broad low-grade mineralisation (>0.1g/t Au), diamond drilling did not
replicate the higher grade mineralisation (>1.0g/t Au) identified in the overlying holes (see Figure
1). Better intercepts include:
o
16.3m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 322.2m in 25IWBRD0003, (See Figure 2)
o
29.1m @ 0.4 g/t Au from 282.9m in 25IWBRD0010
Diamond holes 25IWBRD0008 (Figure 3) and 25IWBDD0009 were drilled below and along strike of
hole 24IWBRC0050, which intercepted the highest-grade mineralisation during the 2024 RC
program (see ASX release 11 December 2024). The best results from these two diamond holes
include:
o 6.4m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 103.5m in 25IWBDD0009, including
o
0.3m @ 3.6g/t AU from 105.8m
0.4m @ 12.7g/t Au from 108.3m
0.4m @ 6.2g/t Au from 109.5m
8.0m @ 0.8 g/t Au from 310.0m in 25IWBRD0008, (see Figure 3)
The diamond tail on discovery hole 24IWBRC0039 (now 24IWBRD0039) has extended mineralisation
intercepted in RC drilling to:
o
116m @ 1.0 g/t Au from 97m in 24IWBRD0039
The diamond tail completed on RC hole 24IWBRC0056 (now 24IWBRD0056) has returned the
following intercepts:
o
14.5m @ 0.6g/t Au from 270m in 24IWBRD0056
Previously reported as 11m @ 0.5g/t Au from 270m to EOH
o
9.9m @ 0.5 g/t Au from 295.4m in 24IWBRD0056
o
0.4m @ 11.5g/t Au from 318.1m in 24IWBRD0056

New England Granite Targeting
The completion of diamond drilling has allowed a detailed set of geological observations to be
made and analysed. The most significant observation made by Yandal Resources is that
mineralisation develops wherever deformation occurs, both proximal and distal to the host
intrusive margin. This observation has been reinforced by the recently completed RC exploration
drilling program (See ASX release 14 April 2025). The observation highlights the suitability of the
granodiorite in acting as a host for gold mineralisation. It allows the development of a simple set
of targeting criteria to prioritise structural targets derived from geophysics. With the receipt of all
diamond drilling results, the targeting criteria for the New England Granite have been revised to
include:
-
Targeting structures that interact with the intrusive margin with observable offsets (lateral or
vertical);
-
Prioritise northwest-trending features and northeast-striking conjugate structures of a similar
relative age within the intrusive away from the intrusive margin;
-
Prioritise structures that are oblique to the granodiorite margin.
In addition to the above, the concept of gold mineralisation occurring deep into the intrusive
away from the intrusive contact is yet to be adequately tested. Figure 4 shows the priority
structural targets that will be the focus of air-core drilling in 2025.

Key Geological Observations
Detailed logging demonstrates a broad zone (100m wide) of deformation and alteration broadly
parallel to the northwest-striking intrusive contact. A range of both brittle and ductile deformation
textures is observed, with abundant evidence of multiple deformation events.
Two trends dominate observed ductile fabrics:
- Trend A: a northwest striking (320-330°), sub-vertical (dipping steeply to either the northeast or
southwest) population linked with the Siona Shear Zone, and
-
Trend B: an oblique and possibly later west-northwest striking (~300°) and sub-vertical (dipping
to either the northeast or southwest) population.
Mineral lineations and intersection lineations are sub-horizontal, with kinematic indicators
suggesting strong sinistral (top to the left) strike-slip dominant movement. The latest deformation
event is a series of narrow west-northwest striking sub-vertical mylonite shears.
Observation from the diamond core confirms that the intrusive contact is broadly subvertical,
striking towards the northwest, and always deformed, with the deformation and alteration style
varying along strike.
Broad, low-grade mineralisation is associated with moderately foliated and/or heavily fractured
granodiorite with pervasive silica-sericite alteration, and 2-5% pyrite and arsenopyrite as
disseminations or within fractures.
Higher grade mineralisation is linked to 1-5cm wide, quartz (+/- carbonate, feldspar, chlorite) veins.
Veins appear relatively early and are often deformed or crosscut by later fractures or veins. These
veins occupy several geometries, and broad intervals of increased veining are usually bracketed
by interpreted shear zones. Visible gold has been observed within these veins on numerous
occasions within both RC and diamond core samples (see Figure 5). The broader distribution of
this vein set has not been confirmed by diamond drilling, but is likely controlled by the interplay of
the two dominant shear trends A and B.
Broad high-grade mineralisation that was observed in RC holes 24IWBRD0039 (116m @ 1.0g/t Au),
24IWBRC0046 (35m @ 1.0 g/t Au), and 24IWBRC0047 (79m @ 1.0 g/t Au) has not been replicated
within diamond drilling. Structural interpretations suggest the zone has a strike length of 50-80m
and is plunging steeply to the southeast. This broad higher-grade domain is associated with a
flexure in intrusive contact.

0.3m sample interval grading 1.6g/t Au from 246.9m.
Next Steps
Air-core drilling will commence across the Caladan target area in late May. Once the program
is complete, the air-core rig will be mobilised to the New England Granite target area, where
broad-spaced drilling will begin to test structural targets, including the Salusa Prospect.
Heritage surveys across the New England Granite are scheduled for late May / early June. These
surveys will clear broad-spaced lines across the western side of the NEG and open up additional
drill positions across Siona.

Looking Ahead
The Company maintains a strong cash position and has a very active June and September
Quarters scheduled. Notable near-term activities include;
1.
A 12,500m air-core drilling program is scheduled to commence in the last week of May,
testing for a large-scale mineralised system across the Caladan target area;
2.
First results from the Caladan air-core program are anticipated in July and will be
received throughout the September Quarter;
3.
Air-core drilling across New England Granite structural targets will commence following
the completion of the Caladan air-core program.

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.

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.

ASX Announcement 21 May 2025
Yandal Resources has completed RC drilling intermittently across a single line at the Arrakis
Prospect. The drilling involved 5.5-inch face sampling bit down to an average down-hole depth
of 208m (between 138m and 270m. 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.
Yandal Resources has completed diamond drilling across the Siona Prospect. The drilling
involved RC pre-collars down to fresh rock, followed by HQ (diameter of ~63.5mm) diamond
core drilling to an average down-hole depth of 348m (between 327m and 368m. Holes were
drilled at an angle of -60 ° to either the southwest or northeast. The core was halved using a
core saw, with the right-hand side of the core (looking downhole) sampled. Before sampling,
the core is logged by a company geologist for lithology type, veining, alteration, and
deformation. Sample lengths vary subject to logged geological intervals of interest, with a
minimum sample length of 0.2 metres and a maximum sample length of 1.0 metres. Sample
quality is considered high.

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.
