Shallow High-Grade Gold At Arrakis With
20m @ 8.7g/t Au From 84m, Including 3m @ 52.8g/t Au
RC Drilling Highlights
• Yandal Resources has received further assay results from a targeted infill RC
drilling program across the Arrakis gold discovery designed to identify high-
grade mineralised trends within the 1.3km striking gold system.
• Significant Intercepts include:
o 20m*3 @ 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
o 12m*2 @ 1.8g/t Au from 31m in 26IWBRC0119 (ETW*1 6m), including
2m @ 2.7g/t Au from 31m, and
3m @ 4.9g/t Au from 39m
o 10m @ 1.6g/t Au from 114m in 26IWBRC0104 (ETW*1 8m), including
3m @ 4.1g/t Au from 116m
• The 26IWBRC0120 intercept is the highest-grade gold intercept ever
recorded from within the IWB Gold Project.
• The 26IWBRC0119 intercept is also the shallowest gold intercept from
Arrakis to date.
• Results from 26IWBRC0120 and 26IWBRC0119, both on the 6,650mN drill
line, indicate an additional zone of high-grade mineralisation may be
present within the Arrakis mineralised system.
• Samples from a further ten RC holes, three with diamond core tails, are
anticipated throughout August.
ASX Announcement
10 August 2026
*1 ETW - Estimated True Width *2 Includes additional internal waste *3 Where very high concentrations of gold occur,
the down-hole length of the intercept can be artificially increased due to smearing of gold particles across sample
intervals either during the process of drilling or preparation for analysis. Further drilling is needed to assess if such a
process has occurred.

Commenting on the RC drilling results, Yandal Resources’ Managing Director, Mr. Chris
Oorschot, said: “This is an exceptional result from a drill program specifically
designed to uncover high-grade domains within the 1.3km striking Arrakis gold
discovery. The headline result from 26IWBRC0120 represents the highest-grade
interval returned to date within the IWB Gold Project.
These new results, combined with previous intercepts on the 6,550mN section,
located 100m south, indicate the potential for an additional domain of high-grade
gold mineralisation within the Arrakis mineralised structure. Further results and
additional drilling will be required to confirm the geometry and continuity of the
newly identified high-grade domain.
The results from 26IWBRC0119 have also returned the shallowest intercept to date
at Arrakis, approximately 26m below surface.
Diamond core samples from 26IWBRC0121D located approximately 60m down-dip
of the 26IWBRC0120 intercept are anticipated in late August.”
Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX: YRL, “Yandal Resources” or the “Company”) is pleased to
provide an exploration update for the Arrakis Prospect within the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee
(IWB) Gold Project (see Figures 4 and 5).
Targeted broad-spaced infill RC drilling on 100m spaced drilling lines within the currently
defined 1.3km Arrakis discovery commenced in early May. The drilling was designed to test
for high-grade domains within the 1.3km striking Arrakis mineralised system. Results from the
nine RC holes between the 6,450mN and 6,850mN drill lines have been received and
reported below (see Tables 2, 3).
Assay results include several significant intercepts, including the highest-grade intercept
returned to date within the IWB Gold Project from 26IWBRC0120, located on the 6,650mN
section (see Figure 1). Results demonstrate the potential for an additional high-grade domain
(see Figure 2) within the Arrakis gold discovery.
Results from a further ten holes (Figure 2), including three RC holes with diamond core tails,
are anticipated throughout August. A maiden exploration target for the Arrakis discovery is
scheduled in Q3 CY26.

Arrakis Targeted Infill RC Drilling Results
Twenty-four (24) RC holes have been completed on targeted 100m spaced lines across the
Arrakis gold discovery from the 6,250mN to 7,250mN drill lines. Some results from the 6,250mN line
have previously been reported (see ASX release 9 June 2026). Assay results from a further nine (9)
RC holes have now been received from between the 6,450mN and 6,850mN drill lines (see Figures
2 and 3). Significant intercepts from these holes include:

Results from the Arrakis 6,650mN section (Figure 1) demonstrate several significant intercepts
occurring on the footwall of the intermediate porphyry, which is commonly associated with
lower-grade mineralisation more broadly across Arrakis. The significant intercept from
26IWBRC0120 occurs directly below an intermediate porphyry, and is hosted within a partially
weathered, heavily deformed dolerite with minor quartz veining. The diamond core tail of
26IWBRC0121D intercepts this equivalent position approximately 60 m down-dip within fresh rock,
with samples currently at the lab for analysis.
Results from 26IWBRC0119 and 26IWBRC0120, combined with previously reported intercepts from
25IWBRC0042 (see ASX release 24 September 2025) that intercepted 50m @ 1.3g/t Au, including
28m @ 1.9g/t Au, indicate an additional high-grade domain within the 1.3km striking Arrakis
system (see Figure 2). Further results, along with additional drilling, are required to confirm this
interpretation.
Several intercepts outside of the main Arrakis structure have also been intercepted, including:
o 2m @ 3.6g/t Au from 139m in 26IWBRC0115
o 13m @ 0.5g/t Au from 139m in 26IWBRC0115 (ETW*1 10m)
o 6m @ 0.7g/t Au from 139m in 26IWBRC0117
In all instances, these intercepts are located within either weathered or partially weathered rock,
with no significant intercepts down-dip within the equivalent fresh rock position. This suggests the
mineralisation is secondary in nature.
Results from a further ten (10) RC holes, including three with diamond core tails, are yet to be
received. Results are anticipated throughout August.
A heritage survey completed across the Arrakis Prospect in July will enable further infill drilling on
50m spaced lines across the full extent of the Arrakis discovery.

Arrakis Geology & Mineralisation Overview
The Arrakis Prospect is located at the centre of the IWB Gold Project, within the Yandal
Greenstone Belt of Western Australia. The prospect is defined by a > 2.2 km regolith gold anomaly
defined by air-core drilling in 2025. The prospect lies beneath 4-20m of transported cover. The
depth of weathering varies along strike, with the base of fresh rock typically between 80-120m
from surface. To date, primary fresh rock mineralisation has been defined over more than 1.3km
of strike, with true widths ranging from 4m to > 30m.
Arrakis mineralisation is hosted within a deformed porphyritic dacite intrusive that varies in
thickness both along strike and down-dip. The intrusive appears to be intruding parallel to
stratigraphy (stratiform), possibly along a narrow sedimentary horizon between two mafic units.
Steep north-east dipping mineralisation hosted within the intrusive is bracketed by a sequence of
pillow basalts to the east and a dolerite unit to the west.
A compilation of RC and diamond drilling results and geological observations demonstrates two
separate styles of mineralisation at Arrakis:
• A broad lower-grade style of mineralisation hosted within a silica-sericite altered dacite
porphyritic intrusive unit that has been weakly to moderately fractured. The chlorite-
biotite-filled fractures also contain pyrite and minor arsenopyrite. Fine pyrite and
arsenopyrite are also disseminated throughout the altered intrusive host. This style of
mineralisation is often associated with wider zones of mineralisation.
• A second style of higher-grade mineralisation is associated with a more intense level of
brittle-ductile deformation and strong silica-pyrite-arsenopyrite alteration of the dacitic
porphyry margins, often presenting as a clast-supported breccia is pervasively silica-
altered. This style of mineralisation can also be sheared and intercalated (mixed) with
the bounding basalts and dolerites.
Structural observations from diamond drilling indicate strong strike-slip, sinistral shearing. Mineral
lineations broadly plunge shallowly to the northwest. Two dominant ductile shear fabrics have
been observed: a subparallel fabric and a shallower-dipping, northwest-striking fabric. The latter
often exhibits as a mylonite and may offset or structurally control mineralisation.
The position of the dacitic intrusion and the thickness of the higher-grade mineralisation are likely
to be structurally controlled.

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 twelve months. 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.
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.
• Yandal Resources has completed RC drilling across both 100m lines covering the Arrakis
Prospect, where primary gold mineralisation has been identified along 1.3km of strike
• . 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 (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.
• Please note: Where very high concentrations of gold occur, the down-hole length of the
intercept can be artificially increased due to smearing of gold particles across sample intervals
either during the process of drilling or preparation for analysis. Further drilling is needed to assess
if such a process has occurred.
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
