Full Summary

Arika Resources Limited has announced the commencement of its largest-ever drilling campaign, with over 20,000 meters of Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling scheduled across its 100%-owned Yundamindra and Kookynie Gold Projects in Western Australia. The campaign will focus on high-priority areas, including the Cosmopolitan, Altona, and Ithaca prospects at Kookynie, and the Pennyweight Point and Landed at Last prospects at Yundamindra. Recent geological interpretation and target generation have identified several new drill targets, expanding the discovery opportunities. Soil geochemistry surveys have been completed across the Emerald City target area at Yundamindra, guiding the maiden drilling program later this year. Metallurgical leach testwork has also commenced on mineralized material from Yundamindra to assess gold recovery characteristics.

Outlook

The company expects a strong pipeline of news flow over the coming months, including drilling results and geochemical survey outcomes.
