MTD026: MULGA TANK DRILLING UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
• Drilling update hole MTD026 - currently at 1,353m depth with drilling still ongoing
• Cumulative ~1,300m thickness of high MgO adcumulate dunite with near continuous
disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation and numerous remobilised sulphide veinlets cumulatively over >800m
• Very similar geological observations to hole MTD023 ~1km to the northeast but overall “richer”
visible sulphide mineralisation*
• Hole MTD026 has been approved to receive co-funding as part of WMG’s $220,000 EIS grant
• Drilling program continues to validate WMG's geological model and enhance the prospectivity of
the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex
*See cautionary note regards visible sulphides
Western Mines Group Ltd (WMG or Company) (ASX:WMG) is pleased to update shareholders on the progress
of diamond drill hole MTD026, at the flagship Mulga Tank Ni-Cu-PGE Project, on the Minigwal Greenstone Belt,
in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields, ahead of a conference presentation this week.
Hole MTD026 was designed to test the centre of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex, approximately halfway
between holes MTD023 (EIS1) and MTD020. Both of these holes showed extensive intersections of
disseminated sulphide mineralisation, with hole MTD020 being the first significant occurrence during the Phase
1 drilling program (ASX, Disseminated Sulphides Seen Over 300m in Hole MTD020, 26 July 2022; MTD020
Assays Confirm Extensive Working Mineral System, 7 November 2022). The hole attempts to test the footprint
of mineralisation across the body of the Complex.
To date, MTD026 has intersected a cumulative ~1,300m thickness of high MgO adcumulate dunite ultramafic
containing near continuous disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) that in a number of places
coalesced into interstitial blebs (3 to 5% sulphide) and even approaching net textured (5 to 10% sulphide).
Multiple intersections of high-tenor remobilised massive nickel sulphide blebs and veining were also observed
frequently down the length of the hole (confirmed by spot pXRF readings up to 65.6% Ni).
The hole appears to further validate WMG’s lopolith (lenticular bowl) shaped geological model for the Mulga Tank
Ultramafic Complex but mostly significantly it shows clear evidence for a very extensive magmatic nickel
sulphide mineral system, with large volumes of mineralised ultramafic magma within the Mulga Tank Complex.
This result has very positive implications for the prospectivity of the project and ongoing exploration targeting.

ASX RELEASE | MTD026: MULGA TANK DRILLING UPDATE
Commenting on the Mulga Tank Project, WMG Managing Director Caedmon Marriott said:
“Hole MTD026 is another deep hole into the Mulga Tank Complex and has been approved as our
second EIS hole, using our $220,000 co-funded EIS grant. The hole shows some remarkable
similarities to hole MTD023 (EIS1) but overall certainly seems to be richer in sulphide mineralisation.
The hole further validates our geological model of the Complex and really demonstrates a
significant working nickel sulphide mineral system with huge volumes of mineralised ultramafic
magma and a large footprint over some ~3.2km.”
MULGA TANK PHASE 2 DIAMOND DRILLING PROGRAM
WMG is currently undertaking a six-hole diamond drilling program, totalling 4,000-5,000m, to test a number of
follow-up targets based on the results of the Company’s first drilling program and ongoing exploration targeting
work (ASX, Phase 2 Drilling has Commenced at Mulga Tank, 28 November 2022). The program includes two
deep co-funded EIS holes to be drilled with the aid of WMG’s EIS award (ASX, WMG Wins $220,000 EIS Award
to Drill Mulga Tank, 17 October 2022).
Following the Company’s recent capital raise (ASX, Capital Raise to Expand Mulga Tank Drilling, 13 April 2023)
and encouraging exploration results (ASX, MTD023 Assays Confirm Discovery of Significant Nickel Sulphide
System, 5 April 2023) this program has been expanded to 14 holes with eight additional drill hole locations
selected. Further drill holes will continue to be added to the program with ongoing targeting work as the
Company systematically explores the Mulga Tank Complex with the capital available.
HOLE MTD026
Hole MTD026 (planned hole MTP024) is the fifth hole of the Phase 2 program and is located approximately
halfway between holes MTD023 (EIS1) and MTD020. Both of these holes showed extensive intersections of
disseminated sulphide mineralisation, with hole MTD020 being the first significant occurrence during the Phase
1 drilling program (ASX, Disseminated Sulphides Seen Over 300m in Hole MTD020, 26 July 2022; MTD020
Assays Confirm Extensive Working Mineral System, 7 November 2022). The hole attempts to test the footprint
of mineralisation across the body of the Complex. The Company has recently received approval for this hole to
qualify as the second co-funded EIS deep hole to be drilled with the aid of WMG’s EIS award (ASX, WMG Wins
$220,000 EIS Award to Drill Mulga Tank, 17 October 2022).
To date the hole has reached a depth of 1,353m and confirms WMG’s geological modelling of a lopolith shape
to the Mulga Tank intrusion. The hole has intersected ~1,300m of variably serpentinised and talc-carbonate
altered high MgO adcumulate to extreme adcumulate dunite ultramafic, beneath 60.2m of sand cover (0-60.2m)
(Appendix - Table 1). The dunite is divided by an approximately ~38m thick dolerite unit (749-787.3m) that most
likely represents a later dyke/sill. This dolerite unit was seen at a nearly identical depth and thickness in hole
MTD023.
Disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) were observed down the majority of the hole, starting from
around 117m depth. In a number of places the disseminated sulphides coalesced into interstitial blebs (3 to 5%
sulphide) between former olivine crystals and also approached net textured (5 to 10% sulphide) (Appendix Table 2). Corresponding pXRF readings of Ni, with elevated Cu and S, support the likelihood of being
disseminated magmatic nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Cautionary statement on visible sulphides
Whilst previous mineralogical work on a limited number of samples from holes MTD020 and
MTD022 has confirmed disseminated pentlandite mineralisation similar mineralogical
investigation has not yet been performed on hole MTD026. A number of spot pXRF readings on
larger sulphide blebs has confirmed nickel presence and aids visual identification of pentlandite,
however, this may not be valid for finer grained sulphides. Descriptions of visible sulphides
should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Only subsequent
laboratory geochemical assay can be used to determine the widths and grade of mineralisation.
WMG will update shareholders when laboratory results become available.
Multiple intersections of high-tenor remobilised massive nickel sulphide blebs and veining were also observed
down the length of the hole (confirmed by spot pXRF readings up to 65.6% Ni, tentatively identified as
hypogene millerite), in some of the shallowest and frequent examples of this phenomenon seen so far. This
interesting observation, in a new previously undrilled area, supports the potential for multiple massive sulphide
sources or deposits within the Complex (Perseverance-style basal massive sulphide) and not just limited to the
Western Margin where previously encountered.
Overall hole MTD026 shows a number of similarities with the first EIS deep hole MTD023 (~1km to the NW) but
it appears to contain a much “richer” disseminated sulphide content down the hole (Figure 2). Lithological
similarities were noted including encountering the dolerite unit at a remarkably similar the depth and thickness.
This observation has led to a re-examination of Phase 1 hole MTD020 and it appears likely that this hole may
have been finished within the dolerite unit, rather than the true footwall of the complex, with no shales or
metasediments seen at the base of that hole. The feasibility of re-entering and extended that hole to test this
idea is currently being investigated.
DOWN HOLE pXRF
The Company is methodically using a portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) device on site as part of its exploration
and geochemical vectoring approach during the drilling program. Spot pXRF readings for hole MTD026 have
been taken at 50cm intervals down the core.
This data is processed using WMG’s in-house techniques and used to confirm the presence of working
magmatic mineral processes and lithogeochemical vectors to aid further exploration and drill targeting. As at
the date of this announcement 1,176m of core from MTD026 has been processed and this pXRF data is
presented below.
In general the pXRF data confirms the rock to be high MgO, adcumulate to extreme adcumulate dunite down
the length of the hole. The mean average Ni value across at total of 2,512 readings to date is 0.31% Ni, with
individual spot values of up to 65.6% Ni where sulphide mineralisation was observed.
A number of factors such as S, Cu and Ni content suggest the potential for a significant working nickel sulphide
mineral system in this area with the lower section of dunite of particular interest with broad sections of high
MgO, S, Cu and Ni results.
It is cautioned that spot pXRF readings may not be representative of the whole rock and only subsequent
laboratory geochemical assay will determine widths and grade of mineralisation.

Cautionary statement on pXRF
pXRF data is used as an exploration tool and a guide only and should never be considered a
proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. The measurements recorded are for a single spot
location and may not be representative of the whole rock. Only subsequent laboratory
geochemical assay can be used to determine the widths and grade of mineralisation. WMG will
update shareholders when laboratory results become available.
VALIDATION OF THE GEOLOGICAL MODEL
WMG’s geological model of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex interprets the main body as being a large
lopolith (lenticular bowl) shaped intrusion/sub-volcanic sill. This is similar to the geological formation of the
Perseverance and Mt Keith Ultramafic Complexes; but whereas those lenticular bodies have undergone
significant deformation in their relatively highly attenuated greenstone belts the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex
is currently thought to be much less deformed and sitting “right way up”.
Hole MTD026 appears to validate this model with a maximum depth in excess of 1,350m in the centre of the
complex demonstrated by the drilling. Numerous indicators appear to support the conclusion of a “right way up”
relatively undeformed body (Figure 2).

COMPLETION OF THE HOLE AND DHEM
Drilling of hole MTD026 will continue to test the basal margin of the intrusion in this area and until approximately
60m of footwall has been intersect, in order to help characterise the geological setting of the Complex. The rig
will then move on to drill MTP026 located on the eastern side of the Complex in an area that has had no
previous drilling. The hole will test a coincident gravity and magnetic high, and minor MLEM anomaly, as well as
for the presence of disseminated mineralisation in this area.
Upon completion a DHEM crew will mobilise to site to survey holes MTD025 and MTD026, and possibly look to
re-survey MTD023, looking for offhole conductor anomalies that could be permissive for basal massive sulphide
accumulations.
