Assay results have been received for holes MTRC051 to MTRC055, which were all drilled in new area in the southeastern part of the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex. Results from all five holes highlight broad intersections of nickel sulphide mineralisation, with all holes ending in mineralisation. The holes extend nickel sulphide mineralisation outside of previously known and tested zones within the Complex.

Assay results have now been received for 16 of the 19 Phase 3 RC holes drilled to date, with all holes mineralised. The program is successful in its goals of infilling around previous drilling in the core of the Complex with holes MTRC040 to MTRC043 (ASX, Phase 3 RC Results Yield Broad Sulphide Mineralisation Zones, 13 September 2024) and extending mineralisation outside of previous tested zones, with results from recent hole MTRC046 showing the best high-grade intersection ever drilled at the project (ASX, MTRC046: Two High-Grade Zones inc. 5m at 1.92% Ni 0.21% Cu, 17 September) and holes MTRC047 to MTRC050 extending mineralisation (ASX, Phase 3 Assays Extend Known Mineralisation at Mulga Tank, 26 September 2024).

Some of these holes are well outside the area modelled in our JORC Exploration Target, but yet again we are still seeing nickel sulphide mineralisation and the system just keeps getting bigger. Four of the holes show ~200m intervals of sulphide mineralisation, with sulphur and associated chalcophile element results (Cu and PGE’s). Various intersections of higher grade results may provide vectors to further pods or zones of richer material. MTRC055 is the best hole of this batch of results returning 216m at 0.30% Ni, which contained a number of higher grade intervals including 11m at 0.63% Ni, with 4m at 1.16% Ni that had 1m at 2.46% Ni and 0.43% Cu. Once again showing this extensive system is capable of making some strong nickel and copper grades. We’re continuously learning more about the Mulga Tank Complex, as these results and recent results from previous hole MTRC046 highlight. This information feeds back into our geological modelling and ongoing exploration targeting work.” MULGA TANK RC DRILLING PROGRAM Exploration results from the Company’s various drilling programs at the Mulga Tank Project over the last 18 months have demonstrated significant nickel sulphide mineralisation and an extensive nickel sulphide mineral system within the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex. The Company has now completed a 24 hole, ~7,400m Phase 3 RC program in follow-up to previous exploration. Of which, 19 holes, totalling 6,002m, were drilled within the main body of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex looking to infill around previous holes and extend mineralisation to the south of previous drilling (ASX, First 19 Phase 3 RC Holes Complete at Mulga Tank, 2 September 2024). Assay results from these holes are steadily being received (ASX, Phase 3 RC Results Yield Broad Sulphide Mineralisation Zones, 13 September 2024; MTRC046 Two High-Grade Zones inc. 5m at 1.92% Ni 0.21% Cu, 17 September 2024; Phase 3 Assays Extend Known Mineralisation at Mulga Tank, 26 September 2024). ASX:WMG www.westernmines.com.au 3 ASX RELEASE | FURTHER HIGH-GRADE INTERVALS UP TO 2.46% Ni 0.43% Cu An additional five hole, 1,411m regional component of the Phase 3 RC program was designed to test the interpreted komatiite channel system (based on aeromagnetic interpretation), extending from the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex, and the interpreted lithologies of the Minigwal Greenstone Belt (ASX, Regional EIS Drilling Confirms Belt-Scale Mineral System, 3 October 2024). Four of the holes were drilled with the aid of one of WMG’s current EIS grants (ASX, WMG Wins Two More EIS Awards to Drill Mulga Tank, 29 April 2024). Figure 1: Phase 3 assay results for disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation HIGH MGO ADCUMULATE DUNITE Assay results for MTRC051 averaged 45.0% MgO and 0.97% Al2O3 (volatile free) over the 219m ultramafic portion of the hole, MTRC052 averaged 46.3% MgO and 0.39% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 224m of ultramafic, MTRC053 averaged 46.9% MgO and 0.38% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 240m of ultramafic, MTRC054 averaged 48.9% MgO and 0.32% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 233m of ultramafic and MTRC055 averaged 46.1% MgO and 0.52% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 234m of ultramafic. Using Al2O3 as a proxy for interstitial material and MgO as a proxy for temperature, geochemical characterisation shows the host rock to be nearly entirely high-temperature, adcumulate to extreme adcumulate dunite with Al2O3 generally between 0.1% and 0.5% and MgO greater than 40%. ASX:WMG www.westernmines.com.au 4 ASX RELEASE | FURTHER HIGH-GRADE INTERVALS UP TO 2.46% Ni 0.43% Cu This observation of extensive intersections of high MgO adcumulate dunite within the Complex, starting essentially immediately under the sand cover, has positive implications for the targeting of large volume, low grade Type 2 Mt-Keith style disseminated nickel sulphide deposits within the Mulga Tank Complex. NICKEL SULPHIDE MINERALISATION In the absence of magmatic sulphide processes nickel is incorporated into olivine during crystallisation and essentially trapped within the dunite host rock. Whereas, in “live” sulphur saturated mineral systems the nickel will partition into potentially “recoverable” nickel sulphide form. The Company uses a number of elements, such as Cu and PGE’s (Pt and Pd), that have high affinity for sulphide (chalcophile), in combination with S (and the S:Ni ratio) as geochemical indicators to confirm the presence of active magmatic sulphide processes and the geochemical signature of nickel sulphide mineralisation. The geochemical assay results for holes MTRC051 to MTRC055 demonstrate significant evidence for “live” magmatic sulphide chemical processes and show a number of broad zones of highly anomalous Cu and PGE’s in combination with elevated S, and a S:Ni ratio greater than 0.5 (Figures 2 to 11). These anomalous zones provide strong evidence for nickel sulphide mineralisation and were generally defined by a combination of the various geochemical indicators and cut-off grades (Ni >0.15% and S >0.1%; Cu >20ppm, Pt+Pd >20ppb and S:Ni >0.5), with only minimal inclusion of unmineralised material below mineable width.

This part of the main body of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex has not had any previous drilling, other than hole MTD020, which was the first hole drilled by the Company to show broad visible disseminated sulphide mineralisation (ASX, Disseminated Sulphides Seen Over >300m in Hole MTD020, 26 July 2022) and was drilled as a follow-up to historical hole MTD011 (ASX:IPT, Exploration Update: Mulga Tank Project, 19 December 2013). Similar to holes MTRC044 to MTRC046 and MTRC047 to MTRC050, at the western end of these drill fences, the results demonstrate the system remains open to the south with all five holes showing broad intersections of disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation containing high sulphur, S:Ni and chalcophile element (Cu and PGE’s) results. The holes extend nickel sulphide mineralisation outside of previously known and tested zones within the Complex and highlight a larger system than that modelled in the Company’s JORC Exploration Target (ASX, Mulga Tank JORC Exploration Target, 5 February 2024).
