Arrakis Diamond Drilling Program Has Commenced
• Seven diamond drilling holes to test the scale of high-grade mineralisation
at depth are underway, with three of the planned holes completed.
• The planned 3,300m program is expected to be finished by early
November.
Anders Drilling Results (parallel structure to Arrakis)
• Results from RC drilling testing the parallel regolith anomaly have been
received; significant intercepts include:
o 6m @ 2.5g/t Au from 52m in 26IWBRC0135, including,
4m @ 3.5g/t Au from 52m
• Results demonstrate primary mineralisation is tied to a deformed and
altered intermediate porphyry on the 5,350mN drill line.
• Provides a parallel target for drilling adjacent to Arrakis.
Flushing Meadows Diamond Drilling Results
• Results from 26IWBRC0090D and 26IWBRC0092D received, with intercepts
including:

ASX Announcement
8 October 2026
yandalresources.com.au | ASX:YRL 2
Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to
provide an update on exploration activities across the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) Gold
Project, situated in the Yandal Greenstone Belt of Western Australia (see Figures 7 and 8).
A seven-hole, 3,300m diamond drilling program has commenced across Arrakis to test the
scale of high-grade mineralisation at depth (see Figure 1). This follows the recent delineation
of the high-grade Domain C mineralisation at Arrakis.
Results from the first RC test below the Arrakis parallel Anders anomaly have been received.
Results demonstrate primary fresh rock mineralisation tied to a deformed and altered
porphyry intrusion in the north of the regolith anomaly. Confirmation of primary mineralisation
provides a clear exploration target adjacent to the late 2025 Arrakis discovery.
Further diamond drilling results have been received from the Flushing Meadows and are
reported below.
Arrakis Diamond Drilling
A seven-hole, 3,300m diamond drilling program has commenced at Arrakis, designed to assess
the scale of high-grade mineralisation at depth. Three of the planned holes have been
completed. Geological logging indicates that two holes (26IWBDD0016 and 26IWBDD0017)
intersected the interpreted Arrakis structure.
The program aims to assess whether the grade, width and scale of high-grade mineralisation
improve with depth. The program follows recently reported results that delineated high-grade
domain C (see Figure 1).
Domain C was identified following previously reported intercepts from 25IWBRC0042,
26IWBRC0117, 26IWBRC0120 and 26IWBRC0121D (see ASX releases dated 24 September 2025, 10
August 2026, 25 August 2026 and 8 September 2026) that included:
o 24.2m @ 1.4g/t Au from 237.8m in 26IWBRC0117D (ETW*1 18m), including
8.3m @ 3.0g/t Au from 240.7m; this further includes
3m @ 5.4g/t Au from 246.0m (see Figure 1)
o 20m @ 8.7g/t Au from 84m in 26IWBRC0120 (ETW*1 13m), including
6m @ 28.3g/t Au from 84m; this further includes
3m @ 52.8g/t Au from 84m (see Figure 1)
o 17.5m @ 2.3g/t Au from 127.5m in 26IWBRC0121D (ETW*1 14m), including
3.8m @ 2.8g/t Au from 130.7m; and
4.8m @ 4.0g/t Au from 135.5m (see Figure 1)
o 17.0m @ 1.1g/t Au from 162.0m in 26IWBRC0121D (ETW*1 10m), including
1.6m @ 3.8g/t Au from 31m (see Figure 1),
o 50m @ 1.3g/t Au from 122m in 25IWBRC0042 (ETW*1 20m), including
28m @ 1.9g/t Au from 143m

Figure : A longitudinal section displaying intercept midpoints within the main Arrakis mineralised structure (intercepts from subordinate structures are excluded). Grade
accumulation (length multiplied by Au grade) is based on down-hole length, with no true width correction applied. This longitudinal section has been prepared to show the
distribution of recent intercepts across the interpreted Arrakis trend. Contours are based on grade (g/t Au) multiplied by down-hole length (m) values, and are presented to
provide a visual interpretation of high-grade domains across the Arrakis mineralised system. Please note that closer-spaced drilling is needed to verify geological and grade
continuity along strike. Closer-spaced drilling is also needed to verify the geometry and extent of the higher-grade domains contoured in this longitudinal section.

Anders RC Drilling Results
A RC program was completed across the Anders regolith anomaly in July. The program included
six RC holes for 1,200m of drilling. All results have been received (see Tables 2 and 3) and include:
• 6m @ 2.5g/t Au from 52m in 26IWBRC0135, including,
o 4m @ 3.5g/t Au from 52m
• 5m @ 0.6g/t Au from 232m in 26IWBRC0137
• 5m @ 0.4g/t Au from 157m in 26IWBRC0136
Results have successfully demonstrated primary fresh rock mineralisation tied to a deformed and
altered porphyry at the northern end of the Anders regolith anomaly situated only 900m west of
the Arrakis discovery (see Figures 2 and 3). This early-stage outcome provides a clear opportunity
to target further mineralisation adjacent to the more advanced Arrakis prospect.
Of particular interest is the setting of mineralisation relative to Arrakis, where the northern end of
the Anders regolith anomaly shares several large-scale similarities to the Arrakis discovery,
including:
• Proximity to a gravity margin,
• Bracketed by interpreted north-south structures,
• Early and subsequently deformed porphyry dykes associated with mineralisation.
Given the above, the Company will follow-up with an air-core program to assess the scale of the
early-stage target.

Flushing Meadows Diamond Drilling
At Flushing Meadows, results from diamond holes 26IWBRC0090D and 26IWBRC0092D have been
received and reported (see Figures 4 and 5, and Tables 4 and 5). Results include:
o 4.3m @ 0.7g/t Au from 227.3m in 26IWBRC0090D
o 6.2m @ 0.4g/t Au from 194.8m in 26IWBRC0090D
o 2.6m @ 0.9g/t Au from 206.0m in 26IWBRC0090D
o 10.0m @ 0.4/t Au from 231.0m in 26IWBRC0092D
o 13.0m @ 0.5g/t Au from 272.0m in 26IWBRC0092D
Combined results and geological observations show that primary mineralisation is associated with
narrow units of iron-rich sediments. Felsic to intermediate porphyry dykes favour the sedimentary
units as intrusive pathways, likely creating variations in the width and continuity of remnant
mineralised sediments both along strike and at depth.
Results from the last diamond hole, 26IWBRC0094D, are pending.

Next Steps and Looking Ahead
The active exploration programs across the IWB Gold Project are advancing well, as the
Company pursues large-scale gold discoveries in under-explored areas within the well-endowed
Yandal Greenstone Belt. Notable near-term activities include:
Arrakis Drilling
• The drilling of seven deep diamond holes is ongoing to assess the scale of high-
grade mineralisation at depth;
• Assays from the diamond core drilling are expected from late October.
Flushing Meadows (MRE 268koz @ 1.1g/t Au, see Table 1)
• Remaining results from 26IWBRC0094D are pending;
• Assays from the air-core drilling completed over the broader Flushing Meadows
and parallel Giedi Prime target areas are anticipated in November.
Broad-scale IWB Soil sampling program
• A soil sampling program has commenced across the southern half of the IWB
Gold Project, including the New England Granite;
• Samples will be submitted for UltraFine+ multi-element analysis, and results will be
used to support target generation over the wider IWB Gold Project.

About Yandal Resources Limited
Yandal Resources has a portfolio of advanced gold exploration projects in the highly prospective Yandal
and Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belts of Western Australia.
Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project
The 100% owned Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) Gold Project covers approximately 456km² of highly
prospective and under-explored tenure located between the Jundee and Bronzewing mines in the
northern Yandal Greenstone Belt. Yandal has an established Resource of 268,000oz of gold at Flushing
Meadows (within IBW) and considers there to be strong potential to make new discoveries and expand
this resource base within its extensive tenure holding. (Refer to the ASX announcement of 4 November
2020 and Table 1 for details of the Flushing Meadows Resource).
The IWB project area also includes two new gold discoveries, the Arrakis and Siona Prospects, both made
within the last two years. These outcomes were driven by the execution of a targeted exploration
program that followed a systematic, geologically driven strategy that was developed in early 2023. The
Arrakis Prospect is hosted within the Caladan fold, and the Siona Prospect is hosted within the New
England Granite.
Both discoveries are currently at an early stage but progressing well, with future activities focused on
delineating the scale of each of the newly defined mineralised systems.
The IWB Gold Project also includes several advanced prospects, where limited historic and YRL drilling has
returned robust gold intercepts, indicating the potential for shallow oxide mineralisation. Both the early-
stage and more advanced prospects are the focus of ongoing exploration.
Mt McClure
The Mt McClure Gold Project, acquired in August 2022, is located ~15 km southwest of the historic
Bronzewing Mine and includes three mining leases with JORC 2012 Resources totalling 182,200oz Au (see
Table 1).
The project has prospectivity for new shallow gold deposits adjacent to current Resources and in the
footwall and hanging wall of the stratigraphy. Ground gravity survey data support ongoing
structural/stratigraphic interpretations for 2026 targeting.

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.
Arrakis
• Yandal Resources has completed RC drilling across both broad spaced lines covering the
Anders regolith anomaly to test for primary fresh rock mineralisation. The drilling involved a
139mm face sampling bit down to between 140m and 286m. Holes were drilled at an angle of
-60 ° to the southwest or northeast.
• Yandal Resources has completed several short diamond core tails on RC pre-collars above, in
order to achieve target depths. All diamond tail extensions utilised HQ (diameter of ~63.5mm)
diamond core. The core was halved with a core saw, with the right-hand side (looking
downhole) sampled. Before sampling, a company geologist logs the core for lithology type,
veining, alteration, and deformation. Sample lengths vary according to logged geological
intervals of interest, with a minimum of 0.2 metres and a maximum of 1.0 metres. Sample quality
is considered high.
Flushing Meadows
• Yandal Resources has completed diamond drilling across the Flushing Meadows deposit. The
drilling involved a mix of RC pre-collars down to fresh rock, followed by HQ (diameter of ~63.5
mm unless otherwise noted) diamond core drilling to an average down-hole depth of 437m
(between 337m and 490m). Holes were drilled at an angle of -60 ° to the southwest. The core
was halved with a core saw, with the right-hand side (looking downhole) sampled. Before
sampling, a company geologist logs the core for lithology type, veining, alteration, and
deformation. Sample lengths vary according to logged geological intervals of interest, with a
minimum of 0.2 metres and a maximum of 1.0 metres. Sample quality is considered high.
• Yandal Resources has completed RC drilling at a variable spacing around recently completed
diamond holes that are situated on 200m spaced lines. The drilling involved a 139mm face
sampling bit down to between 182m and 332m. 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 a 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.
• For YRL diamond drilling, sample recovery of each metre drilled was measured and recorded,
and high-resolution photos of each tray befo
