September Quarter Operational Overview
During the September Quarter, the company continued to progress exploration on its highly prospective Yandal Belt projects. A key milestone was the successful delivery of 136,000oz of gold Resources at Mt McClure which are based predominantly on historic drilling completed in advance of proposed mining operations.
Heritage approval for drilling activities at Ironstone Well and Barwidgee was received from the Kultju (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC ("Kultju AC") who hold Native Title Rights over a large portion of the project tenure. A Reverse Circulation ("RC") drilling program was subsequently completed testing key prospects within each project. In addition to the initial Mineral Resource Estimate at Mt McClure, Yandal Resources also completed an RC drill program testing a range of targets along strike from and in the footwall to the Success, Challenger and Parmelia Deposits.
An Aircore drilling program planned to test earlier stage targets at Ironstone Well, Barwidgee and Mt McClure was deferred to enable the Company to focus its efforts and resources on testing the mineral resource expansion potential at Mt McClure following the positive outcome and opportunities highlighted from the initial Mineral Resource Estimate.
Entering Q4, the Company's immediate focus is to complete a detailed assessment of each deposit and prospect at Mt McClure prior to conducting a targeted drilling campaign with the aim of increasing the Mineral Resource inventory.
