Yandal Resources Ltd (ASX:YRL) technical director Chris Oorschot joins Jonathan Jackson in the Proactive studio to discuss the company’s ground gravity survey at its Ironstone Well-Barwidgee (IWB) Gold Project in Western Australia, in which new large-scale gold targets were identified. The survey, completed in April 2024, used a 200-metre by 200-metre grid across the northeast portion of the project, approximately 50 kilometres south of the Jundee Gold Mine.
The survey addressed areas where regional aerial magnetics failed to adequately resolve underlying stratigraphy and structural architecture. The processed ground gravity images, received in late May, revealed several compelling conceptual gold targets and a more complex structural setting than previously interpreted.
Notable findings include an interpreted large-scale north plunging fold structure, truncated by a northwest striking shear zone. This structural setup is akin to other world-class gold camps, such as the Golden Mile deposit and the Timmins-Porcupine gold district in Canada. Additionally, the survey highlighted the poorly tested Irulan dolerite, which shares a similar lithostructural setting with the Jundee Gold Mine.
Oorschot noted the discovery of potentially two new regional structures and expressed optimism about the high-quality regional datasets' benefits.
Upcoming activities include a detailed review of historical exploration, field reconnaissance, and analysis of regional soil sampling results due in mid-June. Yandal plans a comprehensive review of project-wide targets in July and maintains robust funding for ongoing exploration throughout 2024.
