Cullen Resources returned reconnaissance air core drilling results from the Yardilla project in Western Australia, with one-metre resample assays confirming anomalous gold, silver, and copper zones in saprolite reaching up to 2.42 g/t Au, 2,610 ppm Cu, and 6.7 g/t Ag over one-metre intervals.

The reconnaissance program comprised 25 holes totaling 1,338 metres completed across the Cleanthes and Lila prospects. Drilling intersected primarily foliated to gneissic, mafic and felsic, sericitic and biotitic rocks containing trace amounts up to five percent pyrite. The resulting anomalies extend across targets measuring approximately two kilometres in length at both prospects, which were originally defined by combining gold, copper, and silver anomalies from historical rotary air blast drilling.

The project area encompasses the Lila and Cleanthes prospects, which were originally defined by historical gold-in-calcrete soil anomalies measuring up to five by one kilometres. The recent air core drilling program confirmed and extended historical shallow gold drill anomalies that remain untested in bedrock.

To advance the project, Cullen plans to carry out deeper air core and/or reverse circulation drilling to test the targets further.
