Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to
advise that the first phase of air-core (AC) drilling across Caladan and Irulan (E 53/1843,
E 53/2304) target areas within the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) Gold Project has
commenced.
The Caladan and Irulan target areas represent early-stage, large-scale exploration
targets identified following the completion of a ground gravity survey in early 2024 (see
ASX releases dated 11 June 2024 and 15 July 2024). Air-core (AC) drilling will include one
line across the core of the Caladan target area, testing the core of the Cal-01 anomaly
(see Figure 2) and 800m spaced lines across the northern half of the Irulan target area
that will test the IRU-01 Anomaly (See Figure 2).

Caladan
The Caladan target area presents a large-scale northwest plunging (interpreted) fold, truncated
by the Idaho Shear and interpreted as a second-order structure linking the Ockerbury Shear
Zone to the east and the Barwidgee Shear Zone to the west. The only systematic drilling across
the fold structure was completed in 1995 (see ASX 15 July 2024), where shallow vertical RAB
holes on a 400m by 400m spacing were completed. The drilling was designed to penetrate
through shallow transported cover and sample in-situ upper saprolite clays. A review of this
drilling yielded several low-level saprolite anomalies, the largest of which is situated in the core
of the Caladan Fold (see Figure 2 below).
The Caladan Fold structure is 3km wide, over 8km long, and lies under 2m to 20m of loose to
partially cemented transported cover (the average depth of transported cover is 8m). The
broad structural setting is similar to the Kalgoorlie district, where the Boulder-Lefroy Fault
truncates the folded mafic stratigraphy of the Boomerang anticline. The under-explored nature
of the Caladan Fold, combined with several low-level regolith anomalies, presents the Caladan
target area as a high-priority early-stage exploration target area within the Company’s project
portfolio.
Irulan
The Irulan target area presents a large mafic dolerite complex up to 1km wide and interpreted
over more than 8km of strike. The regional Barwidgee Shear Zone brackets the dolerite complex
to the southwest and the Idaho Shear to the northeast. It is also bound by interpreted volcanosedimentary units along both margins (see Figures 1 & 2).
Previous drilling completed at the Rosewall Prospect within the Irulan target area (see ASX
release dated 15 July 2024) demonstrates the potential for the dolerite complex to host highgrade mineralisation with intercepts, including:
o
9m @ 4.6g/t Au from 12m in GCMBDYC43 (historic drilling)
o
10m @ 2.4 g/t Au from the surface in YRLAC0033
o
Including 4m @ 3.9g/t Au from 16m
7m @ 2.0g/t Au from 16m in YRLAC0031
o
Including 5m @ 4.1g/t Au from the surface
7m @ 2.7g/t Au from 14m in YRLRC00469
o
Including 5m @ 7.6g/t Au from 13m
Including 3m @ 4.0g/t Au from 20m
6m @ 2.0g/t Au from 13m in YRLRC0469

The ground gravity survey completed in early 2024 refined and highlighted the Company’s
interpretation of the mafic package, highlighting the extent of the dolerite complex and
numerous cross-cutting structures. Dolerite is a regionally significant host for orogenic gold
mineralisation within the Yandal greenstone belt, with most high-grade lodes at the world-class
Jundee deposit hosted within the Barton dolerite. The Irulan dolerite complex presents an
analogous litho-structural setting to the Jundee deposit, with a large dolerite complex that is
bracketed by late volcano-sedimentary units and directly adjacent to the regional Ockerburry
hear zone.

For 2019 YRL AC drilling, 4m composite samples were taken with a 50mm diameter PVC
spear thrust to the bottom of the AC sample pile, laid out as individual metres piles in order
on the ground. If the 4m composites were anomalous, a 1m single split is collected using
the spear. The average sample weight is about 4.0kg for 4m composites and 2.0-2.5kg for
1m samples.
For 2019 and 2020 YRL RC Drilling, 4m composite samples were taken with a 50mm
diameter PVC spear thrust to the bottom of the RC sample pile, laid out as individual
metres piles in order on the ground. If the 4m composites were anomalous, the 1m sample
derived from the onboard cone splitter and stored in a calico bag with a unique ID is
collected.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining in 1995, derived from WAMEX Report
A047408, samples were taken over discrete lithological changes of varying lengths. Holes
were terminated once a recognisable saprolitic horizon was intercepted.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Hunter Resources in 1995, derived from WAMEX
Report A047408, samples were collected as 4m composites from the transported/residual
interface to the bottom of the hole.
For historic RAB drilling, it is assumed that sample methodologies were industry standards
and likely involved collecting sample material from 1m sample piles laid out in order on
the ground adjacent to the collar.
For YRL AC and RC drilling, recovery and drill depth were assessed by comparing drill chip
volumes (sample bags) for individual meters. Estimates of sample recoveries were
routinely recorded. Routine checks for correct sample depths are undertaken after the
completion of every rod (3m for AC and 6m for RC).

ASX Announcement 10 October 2024
For YRL drilling, AC and RC sample recoveries were visually checked for recovery, moisture
and contamination. The cyclone was routinely cleaned to ensure no material buildup.
Due to the generally good drilling conditions around the Rosewall Prospect (no
groundwater and shallow weathering profile), samples are considered to be of high
quality and representative of the intervals drilled.
For YRL AC and RC 2019-2020 samples, drilling was used to obtain 1m samples, from which
approximately 2.0-2.5kg was pulverised to produce a 50g charge for fire assay when 4m
composite assays were anomalous. AC and RC chips were geologically logged over 1m
intervals and initially sampled over 4m intervals to create a composite sample (assayed
via Aqua Regia partial digest with AAS determination). Anomalous 4m intervals were then
sampled over 1m intervals via the fire assay method. Depending on the hole depth, the
maximum composite interval was 4m, and the minimum was 2m. Samples were analysed
for only the programs. Drilling intersected transitional mineralisation to a maximum drill
depth of 23m.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining in 1995, derived from WAMEX Report
A047408, 2m to 5m composite samples and 1m samples were taken based on discrete
lithological units (loose transported cover, consolidated transported cover, saprolite
clays, etc.). Samples were then pulverised and analysed for gold by BETA aqua regia
method with a carbon rod finish with ASS gold determination. No follow-up sampling was
completed.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Hunter Resources in 1995, derived from WAMEX
Report A047408, 4m composite samples were taken within the targeted saprolite clays.
Samples were then pulverised and analysed for gold by aqua regia digest method with
a carbon rod finish with ASS gold determination. No follow-up sampling was completed.
YRL AC drilling was completed with a 3’ 1/4 inch AC blade bit and hammer (where hard
conditions prevailed).
YRL RC was completed using a 5’ ¼ inch face sampling hammer.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining and Hunter Resources in 1995, an
industry-standard RAB drill rig and setup were assumed to be used.
For YRL 2019-2020 drilling, AC and RC recovery and meterage were assessed by
comparing drill chip volumes for individual meters. Estimates of sample recoveries were

Due to the generally good drilling conditions around the Rosewall Prospect, samples
represent the interval drilled.
Historical recording of the sample recovery is limited; however, logging data captures
sample condition, with only a small percentage of intervals drilling noting damp or wet
samples. It was noted in historical logs that some holes failed to penetrate through the
hard semi-lithified transported cover.
For YRL 2019-2020 drilling, the supervising geologist completed AC and RC drill chip
logging at one-metre intervals at the rig. Logging data was captured in Excel
spreadsheets and stored in a micromine data file format. It is qualitative in nature. All
drilled intervals were logged.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining and Hunter Resources in 1995, logging
was completed at various intervals based on geological observation and recorded by
hand into pre-printed logging forms. These forms were scanned and included in WAMEX

For YRL 2019-2020 drilling, both AC and RC samples were collected. AC and RC 4m
composite samples were collected from the drill rig by spearing each 1m sample pile.
Single metres samples were collected for AC drilling by spearing individual metre sample
piles. For RC drilling, 1m samples were collected from an onboard cone splitter and
placed into a calico bag with a unique sample ID. Samples were collected dry.
For YRL AC samples, no duplicate 1m samples were taken in the field. Standards and
blanks were routinely inserted into the sample sequence for 4m and 1m samples.
For YRL RC samples, field duplicates were collected routinely. Standards and blanks were
routinely inserted into the sample sequence for 4m and 1m samples. Duplicate results
were acceptable, given the variable nature of orogenic gold mineralisation.
YRL AC sample weights were relatively consistent, approximately 2.0-2.5 kg.
YRL RC sample weights were relatively consistent, approximately 2.0-3.5 kg.
For labs used by YRL, internal lab quality control measures include lab duplicates and the
insertion of lab standards and blanks.
The sample size is appropriate given the fine to medium-grained size of the sheared
dolerite host.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining and Hunter Resources in 1995, details
of sample methods and quality control measures were not recorded but are assumed to
be of an industry standard for the time. It was noted that field duplicates were collected
from intervals of interest during the Hunter Resources drilling.

For YRL 2019-2020 drilling, the 4m composite samples were assayed by Aqua Regia
(0.01ppm Au lower detection limit) and the 1m splits by Fire Assay ICP-MS (inductively
coupled plasma – mass spectrometry) with a lower detection limit of 0.01ppm Au, by
accredited Aurum Laboratories Pty Ltd in Beckenham, Perth, WA. for gold only.
Aurum laboratories QA/QC involves the insertion of internal lab standards using certified
reference material, blanks, splits and replicates as part of the in-house procedures. QC
results (blanks, duplicates, standards) are aligned with commercial procedures,
reproducibility, and accuracy. These comparisons were deemed satisfactory.
For YRL 2019-2020 AC and RC drilling 4m composites, one standard was inserted for every
40 samples and one blank was inserted for every 80 samples. For 1m samples, one
standard was inserted for every 40 samples, and one blank was inserted for every 80
samples.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Eagle Mining, samples were submitted to Genalysis
Laboratories in Perth for Au analysis by BETA with a lower detection limit of 1ppb Au. Scans
of the original lab reports are retained in the WAMEX report A047408. Internal lab QC
protocols are unknown and assumed to be the industry standard for the time.
For historic RAB drilling completed by Hunter Resources, samples were submitted to Amdel
Laboratories in Perth for Au analysis by aqua regia digest/Carbon rod AA method, with a
lower detection limit of 1ppb Au. Scans of the original lab reports are retained in the
WAMEX report A047408. Internal lab QC protocols are unknown and assumed to be the
industry standard for the time.
For YRL drilling, all significant intercepts have been visually verified against the retained
AC and RC chip trays, with all significant intercepts showing evidence of shearing,
alteration and quartz veining at the expected intervals. Lab and drilling data is stored as
PDF scans or Excel spreadsheets on the Company Server in the Perth office.
No data was adjusted. No twinned holes have been drilled.
For YRL drilling, all intercepts have been previously reported. Significant intercepts were
calculated by generating a length-weighted average of sample grades for all intervals
greater than or equal to 0.3g/t Au, with no more than 2m of continuous internal waste
included unless otherwise stated.
For historic drilling, all drilling data has been previously reported. The data is publicly
available from WAMEX report A047408. Scanning of original logging and sampling data
were reviewed and transcribed into an Excel spreadsheet by Company geologists under
the supervision of Mr. Chris Oorschot. Data was then verified by comparing results to
original plans and sections included within WAMEX report A047408. Furthermore, several
pads from the 1995 drilling program were located in the field and found to be located
within 30m of the historic coordinates. Given the low-level nature of the significant results
and the lack of historic chips at the drill site, visual verification of results was impossible.

There has been no adjustment to historic assay data.
For YRL 2019-2020 AC and RC drilling, all drill collar locations were initially pegged and
surveyed using a handheld Garmin GPS, which was accurate to within 3-5m. The
topography is mainly flat at the drilling location. No downhole surveys were completed
for the AC or RC drilling.
For YRL drilling, MGA94 Zone 51 for AC drilling and local grid and AMG coordinates for
historic drilling converted to MGA94 Zone 51. The topography is flat, with only minor
