Indiana Resources has completed a heritage survey across the Ealbara prospect at its Gawler Craton Project in South Australia, advancing preparations for the asset's maiden drilling program.

Conducted alongside representatives of the Antakirinja Matu - Yankunytjatjara Aboriginal Corporation, the clearance assessment evaluated key zones designated for upcoming drilling, including an undrilled surface gold anomaly defined over a 7-kilometre strike length. Gold values across the anomaly range from 10 parts per billion to 69 parts per billion along the contact between granite and volcanics.

The gold anomaly is situated within a demagnetised structural zone proximal to the intersection of the Lake Labyrinth Shear Zone and a northeast-southwest trending structure. Preliminary results indicate the surveyed areas were cleared and approved, with the final Heritage Survey Report expected to be received in October 2026.

“The successful completion of the survey marks an important step towards our maiden drill program at Ealbara, which is considered a compelling target given its favourable structural setting and coincident geochemical anomalism. Scheduling of the drilling will commence following receipt of the final Heritage Survey Report.”

— Matthew Bowles, Managing Director

Indiana is awaiting the final report before scheduling the drilling program. The company also has a 2,000-metre reverse-circulation drilling program underway at the Company Well gold prospect within the wider Gawler Craton landholding.
