Expanding Rolleston district position & doubling resource base.
Yari has acquired Arcadia Coal Project, which hosts a reported 282Mt JORC 2012 Mineral Resource. This acquisition increases Yari’s reported coal resource base to more than 500Mt across two complementary projects in the broader Rolleston coal district.
More information about the Arcadia acquisition from can be found in Yari’s ASX announcements dated 7 August 2026 and 7 September 2026.
Yari has identified the potential for multiple product pathways from its recently acquired Arcadia Coal Project in Queensland’s Bowen Basin, including semi-soft coking, PCI and high-energy thermal coal products.
The Company is also assessing the potential for resource growth with an expansion of Arcadia’s technical dataset, including five cored petroleum/coal seam gas (CSG) wells not incorporated into the previous 2017 geological model.
This follows an independent coal-quality review of the 282Mt Arcadia Coal Project in Queensland’s Bowen Basin conducted by coal-quality specialist Chris McMahon of McMahon Resources, which reviewed historical data from 44 bore cores and 1,472 samples across the principal B, C and D seams of the Bandanna Formation.
The review indicates average in-situ ash of approximately 10% and identifies the potential for Arcadia to support multiple coal products, including semi-soft coking, PCI and high-energy thermal coal. Importantly, the results indicate Arcadia may offer flexibility to target different products from different parts of the deposit, rather than being developed around a single coal specification.
