Iltani Resources Limited has received assay results from a further nine reverse circulation drill holes completed at the Orient Silver-Indium Project in North Queensland, highlighted by hole ORR182 returning 71 metres at 81 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 133 metres downhole.

The drilling program at the Orient project — which Iltani positions as Australia's largest and highest-grade known silver-indium project — continues to test multiple targets across Orient East, Orient West, and Vein One.

At Orient East, hole ORR182 included a high-grade core of 3 metres at 435 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 152 metres. Additional notable intercepts from the area include hole ORR184, which returned 6 metres at 255 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 143 metres, and hole ORR186, which yielded 16 metres at 146 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 88 metres.

Orient West strike extension drilling intersected multiple zones of mineralisation along a 700-metre strike extent to the northeast. Hole ORR185 returned 48 metres at 69 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 16 metres, while hole ORR183 intersected 15 metres at 94 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 29 metres. Meanwhile, Vein One testing via hole ORR188 returned 24 metres at 68 grams per tonne silver equivalent from 106 metres.

Orient East drilling continues to deliver and notably ORR182 delivered an intercept of >1,000 gm/t Ag (silver grade metres) & >1,000 gm/t Ag Eq. (silver equivalent grade metres) with a thick interval of 71m at 81 g/t Ag Eq. from 133m including a high-grade core of 3m at 435 g/t Ag Eq. from 152m.

The current 110-hole drilling program is scheduled for completion in September 2026. Data generated from the campaign will be incorporated into an updated Orient Mineral Resource estimate, which is expected in the fourth quarter of 2026. That updated estimate will subsequently feed into an Orient Scoping Study planned for early 2027. Iltani also plans to complete additional drilling prior to the wet season to follow up on mineralisation intersected outside the current resource areas.
