Iltani keeps finding more at Orient

More drilling. More mineralisation. More Orient.

Iltani Resources (ASX:ILT) Managing Director Donald Garner joins us after another round of strong drilling at the Orient deposit in northern Queensland.

Donald breaks down:

  • Link zone: Step-out drilling is extending beyond the current resource
  • Infill: Work continues across Orient East and West
  • Growth: New drilling is aimed at adding tonnes and grade
  • Studies: Metallurgical work is feeding into the Scoping Study
  • Next: An updated resource is targeted before the study in early 2027

The more Iltani drills, the more Orient keeps giving back.

About the guest and company
Donald Garner is the managing director of Iltani Resources. The company is advancing the Orient silver-lead-zinc-indium deposit within its Herberton Project in northern Queensland, where drilling is focused on growing and upgrading the existing resource.
