Yandal Resources (ASX:YRL) has reported further encouraging assay results from the Flushing Meadows deposit and the Arrakis prospect within the Ironstone Well-Barwidgee gold project in Western Australia.

Results from a new diamond hole at Flushing Meadows returned multiple significant intercepts, with the most notable results associated with heavily deformed and altered sedimentary units.

Managing Director Chris Oorschot said the latest results continue to show multiple sub-parallel zones of mineralisation in the hanging wall, above and to the east of the current 1.9km-striking mineral resource estimate (MRE), and provide a strong pathway to build on the existing Flushing Meadows MRE.

“It is becoming very clear from these initial results that mineralisation constrained within the current Flushing Meadows mineral resource estimate only captures a small part of the Flushing Meadows mineralised systems,” Mr Oorschot said.

“Results have both demonstrated strong mineralisation continuity within fresh rock below the current MRE, and identified several new, parallel and shallow mineralised structures that remain open at depth and along strike. The early exploration successes provide confidence that Yandal can apply its systematic and geologically driven approach to expanding the scale of the deposit.”

The results are relevant because they add more detail to how the Flushing Meadows system is being interpreted: the current resource envelope appears to sit within a broader mineralised package, while the ongoing drilling is aimed at defining that wider extent before any resource update or follow-up work can be assessed.

Alongside the diamond drilling near the defined Flushing Meadows deposit, Mr Oorschot said Yandal’s large-scale air-core program across the broader Flushing Meadows and Giedi Prime target area is progressing well.

He said the program’s results will help define the scale of the Flushing Meadows mineralised system and determine whether the large Giedi Prime target area, which shows many of the same structural features as Arrakis and Flushing Meadows, hosts a mineralised system.

“The extensional RC drilling south-east of the large offsetting Scytale shear zone at Arrakis has provided a hard boundary to primary mineralisation continuity along strike to the southeast,” Mr Oorschot said.

“However, the higher-grade mineralisation adjacent to the Scytale Shear Zone suggests the structure may play an important role in localising higher-grade mineralisation. The recently completed RC drilling 900m south of Arrakis testing the parallel Anders regolith anomaly could provide validation of this concept, as the best air-core intercept for this regolith anomaly is immediately adjacent to the projection of the Scytale Shear Zone.”

About 8,000 metres across 89 holes have now been completed in the large-scale air-core program across the broader Flushing Meadows and Giedi Prime target area.

The ongoing program is designed to map the boundaries of the Flushing Meadows mineralised system and complete the first test across the Giedi Prime gravity target area, which was first identified in 2024. First results are expected in September.

YRL was unchanged at 16.5 cents, with a market capitalisation of $62.94 million, before markets opened.
