22 May 2025 | South Perth, WA – Astral Resources (ASX:AAR) has delivered outstanding metallurgical results from its Feysville Gold Project, with gold recoveries of up to 98.1% confirmed from initial testwork at the Kamperman and Rogan Josh deposits. The results support the inclusion of these satellite deposits in the upcoming Mandilla Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).

Five composite samples from Kamperman and two from Rogan Josh underwent gravity and cyanide leach testing. Three Kamperman samples returned an average recovery of 98.1%, confirming free-milling characteristics. The remaining two, which contained elevated copper, recorded 87.9% but are expected to improve with higher cyanide concentrations in follow-up tests.

Key Results:

  • Kamperman: 3 samples averaged 98.1% recovery; 2 samples averaged 87.9% (high copper impact)

  • Rogan Josh: 2 samples averaged 91.5% recovery at an average head grade of 0.70g/t Au

  • Low reagent consumption and rapid leach kinetics across both deposits

Managing Director Marc Ducler stated:

“These results clearly demonstrate that the simple, low-cost processing route proposed for Mandilla will also suit ore from Kamperman and Rogan Josh. This is a key step toward incorporating Feysville into the broader Mandilla mine plan.”

The combined Feysville resources now total 5Mt @ 1.2g/t Au for 196koz, strengthening Astral’s consolidated Mineral Resource base of 1.76Moz.

Additional assay results from RC and aircore drilling at Feysville are due later this quarter, alongside ongoing in-fill and extensional drilling at the nearby Iris and Hestia deposits.

Endeavor Mine

21 May 2025 | Alstonville, NSW – Polymetals Resources (ASX:POL) has confirmed that redevelopment of its Endeavor Silver-Zinc Mine is progressing on schedule and within budget, with commissioning well underway and first cash flow expected in June.

Following the completion of major site works and infrastructure upgrades, the site has entered full commissioning. Crushed ore is being hoisted and stockpiled, with wet commissioning of the plant in progress and ore processing scheduled to begin next week.

Key highlights:

  • First ore crushed and hoisted to surface

  • Over 40,000 tonnes of ore stockpiled underground

  • Site targeting 65,000t/month processing rate in H2 2025

  • First mining of high-grade silver ore set for July 2025

Executive Chairman Dave Sproule said:

“We’re proud of the rapid, in-house development at Endeavor — a rarely achieved feat at this scale. First processing is imminent, and our shareholders are seeing real value for money.”

In parallel, diamond drilling continues at the Carpark prospect, targeting extensions of the Main Lode. Results will be released once the current program is completed.

Konrad Forrest
Yandal Resources

21 May 2025 | West Perth, WA – Yandal Resources (ASX:YRL) has confirmed broad zones of gold mineralisation at the Siona Discovery, part of its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Project in WA’s northern Goldfields, and is now preparing to launch a major 12,500m aircore drilling program at the nearby Caladan prospect.

Diamond drilling at Siona returned:

  • 16.3m @ 0.5g/t Au from 322.2m (25IWBRD0003)

  • 29.1m @ 0.4g/t Au from 282.9m (25IWBRD0010)

  • 6.4m @ 1.5g/t Au from 103.5m, including

    • 0.4m @ 12.7g/t Au (25IWBDD0009)

  • 116m @ 1.0g/t Au from 97m (24IWBRD0039 – RC + diamond tail)

These results build on the broad, low-grade halo with internal high-grade zones identified in earlier RC drilling. Geological modelling suggests gold mineralisation is controlled by deformation along and within the New England Granite intrusion.

Managing Director Chris Oorschot said:

“We’re now armed with a much clearer understanding of the Siona system. With the full extent of the granite under Yandal’s control, we’re shifting focus to testing new structural targets that could deliver larger-scale discoveries.”

Next steps:

  • Caladan aircore drilling begins late May

  • Follow-up aircore at Salusa and other New England Granite (NEG) targets

  • Heritage surveys scheduled for late May / early June

  • RC drilling to resume post-aircore to test deeper high-grade trends at Siona

Yandal sees the NEG as a regional-scale gold system, with visible gold, strong alteration, and favourable structural controls now confirmed through diamond drilling.
