Iltani Resources has received assay results from 13 reverse circulation drill holes at the Orient Silver-Indium Project in North Queensland, highlighted by hole ORR178 returning 42 metres at 140 g/t silver equivalent from 120 metres downhole.

The drilling campaign at Australia's largest and highest-grade known silver-indium project yielded shallow intercepts exceeding 1,000 gram-metres in silver and silver-equivalent grades across seven holes at Orient East and Orient West. Hole ORR178 included a higher-grade core interval of 12 metres at 363 g/t silver equivalent from 143 metres, featuring a 2-metre section grading 1,479 g/t silver equivalent from 147 metres with 488 g/t silver, 146 g/t indium, 11.7% lead, and 10.1% zinc.

Other notable intersections included hole ORR170, which returned 26 metres at 172 g/t silver equivalent from 66 metres, including 2 metres at 1,456 g/t silver equivalent from 84 metres. Hole ORR177 intersected 56 metres at 96 g/t silver equivalent from 91 metres, incorporating a 1-metre high-grade vein from 134 metres grading 1,644 g/t silver equivalent, which contained 289 g/t indium and 24.7% zinc.

“Outstanding assay results continue to flow from the Orient drilling. Multiple thick intercepts of >1,000 silver grade metres and silver-equivalent grade metres at Orient East and West continue to support the potential robust economics of open-pit mining at Orient.”

— Donald Garner, Managing Director

The ongoing drill program has completed 86 of its initial 110 holes, with the remainder expected to be finished in approximately five weeks. The resulting data will be used to update the Orient Mineral Resource estimate in the fourth quarter of 2026, feeding into a scoping study in 2027.

Silver traded at $65.78 per unit, representing a 9.89% increase over the 30-day period ending August 10, 2026.
