• Acquisition of three prospecting licenses at Barimaia
• New area considered highly prospective for granodiorite intrusions
• Initial exploration to include heritage survey, gravity survey, and air-core drilling

Ordell Minerals Limited (ASX: ORD) has expanded its Barimaia Gold Project in Western Australia by acquiring three prospecting licenses, significantly increasing the area for potential granodiorite intrusions, which are considered the host rock for gold mineralization. The newly acquired tenements, considered under-explored, will be incorporated into the upcoming ~15,000m drilling program scheduled from May to July 2026. Initial exploration activities will include a heritage survey, an extension of the gravity survey, and air-core drilling to identify prospective intrusions. The acquisition strengthens Ordell's position at Barimaia and opens up a large, previously undrilled area for exploration.
