INSIGHTS FROM THE EPISODE

Cracking Early Results at F1 Prospect in Yundamindra

• Arika Resources has reported 4m @ 40g/t Au from the first holes drilled at the F1 Prospect, part of the company’s 10,000m campaign at the Yundamindra Gold Project near Laverton, WA.

'Yellow Brick Road' Corridor Hosts Multiple High-Grade Targets

• The F1 Prospect sits within the‘Yellow Brick Road’, a 16km structural corridor with more than 10km of historical gold workings on multiple parallel structures—indicating scale and prospectivity across the project.

Follow-Up at Landed at Last and Pennyweight Point

• Prior intercepts include 14m @ 3g/t Au at Landed at Last and 35m @ 2.5g/t Au at Pennyweight Point, with current drilling expanding on these zones to locate the project’s centre of gravity.

Over 50 High-Priority Targets Identified

• Arika has mapped 50+ high-priority targets across Yundamindra using drone magnetics, soil sampling, and fieldwork—many of which remain completely untested by modern exploration.

Bonaparte and Syncline Prospects Next in Line

• After F1, drilling moved to Bonaparte, followed by the nose of the Yundamindra Syncline, where historical dryblowing and anomalous rock chips hint at further gold-bearing structures beneath shallow cover.

Thunderbird Resources (ASX: THB) offers huge leverage to gold and antimony in Australia, with a market cap of just $4 million and drilling programmes being planned.

Executive Chairman George Ventouras, has over 15 years’ experience in the resources sector and over 30 years’ experience in business development, corporate restructuring and marketing. He has managed multiple businesses in various industries and has served as a Non-Executive and Executive Director on various ASX listed Companies and has led IPO teams.
