Western Mines Group (ASX:WMG) completes successful regional RC drilling program

Western Mines Group Ltd (WMG) (ASX:WMG) has completed a five hole reverse circulation (RC) regional drilling program at the Mulga Tank Project, confirming the interpreted geology and visible sulphide mineralisation. The drilling program, including four holes drilled with the aid of an Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) grant, has provided valuable insights into the belt-scale potential of the Mulga Tank mineral system.

Executive commentary on regional RC drilling

The main goal of this regional drilling was to confirm the interpreted geology of the belt, largely based on aeromagnetics. The holes were successful in that, with all of them showing intersections of komatiite, dunite and/or high MgO ultramafic lithologies. Incredibly, many of the holes also contained visible sulphide mineralisation, with some returning remarkable results, demonstrating the belt-scale potential of the Mulga Tank mineral system. These observations serve as a reminder that the Minigwal Greenstone Belt has long been considered prospective for gold and remains underexplored with limited exploration by previous holders.

Summary of regional RC drilling and outlook

The completion of the regional RC drilling program at the Mulga Tank Project has confirmed the interpreted geology and visible sulphide mineralisation, highlighting the belt-scale potential of the Mulga Tank mineral system. These results will feed into ongoing exploration targeting work for both nickel sulphide and gold mineralisation. The Company's primary focus on the Mulga Tank Ni-Co-Cu-PGE Project and the Jasper Hill gold project reflects its commitment to exploring and discovering high-value gold and nickel sulphide deposits across Western Australia's major mineral belts. As the Phase 3 assay results are steadily being received, the Company looks forward to updating shareholders on further assay results as they become available.
