Yandal Resources Limited is a Western Australian gold explorer 100%-owning the ~370km2 Ironstone Well-Barwidgee Gold Project in the northern Yandal Greenstone Belt, situated between Northern Star Resources' Jundee and Bronzewing mines, alongside the Mt McClure gold project. The company's Flushing Meadows deposit carries an established JORC Mineral Resource Estimate of 268,000oz gold, with no economic study (PEA/PFS) yet completed. Yandal raised A$13.5M via placement (reported ~20 Jul 2026), funding a ~30,000-metre multi-rig 2026 drilling campaign (RC, diamond and air-core) across four target areas: resource growth and below-resource testing at Flushing Meadows, and new-discovery drilling at the Arrakis prospect (a 1.2km-long mineralised structure with high-grade near-surface and deeper zones), Salusa (following up 2025 air-core high-grade intercepts) and the New England Granite target. A newly built 21-person exploration camp and core yard support the program, with two RC rigs and one diamond rig operating from early April 2026.

Acquisition Susceptibility
A relative ranking of how closely this company matches the profile of juniors that have actually been acquired — not a probability, and not a reason to buy. Acquisitions are rare: only a few dozen significant deals happen a year across a universe of thousands of juniors, so even a high score here describes a long shot. The strongest signal in the research, a producer that already owns part of the company, is scored from its disclosed strategic shareholders. A producer that is a joint-venture or earn-in partner on the project, rather than a shareholder, isn't captured yet.
How this score is built
- Disclosed pending dealSub-score: Not scored
No pending acquisition or merger disclosed (checked)
Not scored: having no deal in flight isn't held against a company.
Weight 26.25% - Producer's strategic stakeSub-score: Not scored
No producer holds a disclosed stake on file (holder register researched) See holders
Not scored: most juniors that do get bought had no prior toehold, so a missing stake says little either way.
