Western Mines Group's decision to extinguish the 1% NSR royalty on its Mulga Tank Project tenement E39/2132 is a strategic step to enhance the project's value. The extinguishment is expected to open up new funding opportunities by allowing the company to explore the potential resale of a royalty to investment groups. The project has an Exploration Target of 350 to 2,200 million tonnes of potential mineralization, with recent drilling indicating promising nickel sulphide mineralization. The company compensated the original tenement vendor with shares, options, and performance rights. Western Mines Group remains focused on discovering high-value gold and nickel sulphide deposits across Western Australia, with the Mulga Tank Project being a central component of their exploration strategy. They are optimistic about future developments but acknowledge risks and uncertainties in forward-looking statements.
