ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2025
During the quarter, modelling of all the Company’s drilling results to date identified a significant mineralised zone
in the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex, which was reported as a Mineral Resource, in accordance with
JORC 2012 (ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource Over 5Mt Contained Nickel - Update, 10 April 2025). The
Company’s internal modelling work was reviewed by independent consultants ERM.
The Mulga Tank March 2025 Mineral Resource (Tables 1 and 2) at a 0.20% Ni cut-off grade is estimated to be:
Indicated 565 million tonnes grading 0.28% Ni, 134ppm Co, 104ppm Cu, 18ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 1.0
Inferred 1,403 million tonnes grading 0.27% Ni, 129ppm Co, 73ppm Cu, 17ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 0.9
Total Resource 1,968 million tonnes grading 0.27% Ni, 131ppm Co, 82ppm Cu, 17ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 0.9
Representing contained metal values of:
Indicated Contained 1.6Mt Ni, 76Kt Co, 59Kt Cu and 327Koz Pt +Pd
Inferred Contained 3.8Mt Ni, 181Kt Co, 102Kt Cu and 748Koz Pt +Pd
Total Contained 5.3Mt Ni, 257Kt Co, 161Kt Cu and 1,075Koz Pt + Pd
WMG believes the Mulga Tank March 2025 Mineral Resource represents the largest nickel sulphide deposit in
Australia and is likely in the top 10 nickel sulphide resources of the world.
Final assay results were received for deep diamond hole MTD029 (EIS3) during the period (ASX, Over 1,200m of
Sulphide Mineralisation in MTD029 (EIS), 19 February 2025). Geochemical assay results for the hole show four
broad zones of disseminated nickel mineralisation with elevated Ni and S, in combination with highly anomalous
Cu and PGE:
MTD029
689m at 0.27% Ni, 133ppm Co, 71ppm Cu, 19ppb Pt+Pd from 108m
168m at 0.23% Ni, 130ppm Co, 99ppm Cu, 22ppb Pt+Pd from 866m
266m at 0.34% Ni, 146ppm Co, 86ppm Cu, 37ppb Pt+Pd from 1,192m
124m at 0.32% Ni, 126ppm Co, 50ppm Cu, 27ppb Pt+Pd from 1,534m
Cumulative
1,247m at 0.28% Ni, 134ppm Co, 76ppm Cu, 24ppb Pt+Pd from 108m with S:Ni 1.0
The results show strong evidence for an extensive magmatic nickel sulphide mineral system with a number of
richer mineralised intersections seen down the hole (within the overall broader zones):
MTD029
58m at 0.34% Ni, 138ppm Co, 108ppm Cu, 30ppb Pt+Pd from 204m
inc. 8m at 0.48% Ni, 147ppm Co, 168ppm Cu, 35ppb Pt+Pd from 210m

inc. 8m at 0.54% Ni, 250ppm Co, 371ppm Cu, 81ppb Pt+Pd from 389m
that inc. 1m at 1.56% Ni, 548ppm Co, 0.12% Cu, 0.2g/t Pt+Pd from 395m
10m at 0.38% Ni, 167ppm Co, 91ppm Cu, 50ppb Pt+Pd from 568m
18m at 0.32% Ni, 141ppm Co, 70ppm Cu, 22ppb Pt+Pd from 700m
32m at 0.33% Ni, 142ppm Co, 48ppm Cu, 34ppb Pt+Pd from 1,002m

13m at 0.41% Ni, 126ppm Co, 29ppm Cu, 54ppb Pt+Pd from 1,639m
Initial metallurgical test work on material from diamond hole MTD029 (EIS3) continued during the quarter with
the first results received from the Phase 2 test work trials. The Company continued to be corporately active on a
number of fronts during the period. After the end of the quarter, the Company was notified it had been
successful in both its applications in Round 31 of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) and granted two
awards, totalling $440,000, to fund further drilling at the Mulga Tank Ni-Cu-PGE Project, under the WA State
Government’s Co-funded Exploration Drilling Program. Field reconnaissance continued at a number of the
Companies gold projects including Jasper Hill and Youanami.

ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2025
MULGA TANK
The Mulga Tank Project comprises exploration licences E39/2132, E39/2134 and E39/2223 and exploration
licence application E39/2299, covering the Minigwal Greenstone Belt, 190km east-northeast of Kalgoorlie. The
Minigwal Greenstone Belt is a NNW trending linear sequence of predominantly mafic and ultramafic lithologies; it
is very under explored due to the presence of shallow sand cover and presents a “frontier” exploration
opportunity for major Ni-Co-Cu-PGE and orogenic gold deposits.
Exploration results from the Company’s various drilling programs at the Mulga Tank Project over the last two
years have demonstrated significant nickel sulphide mineralisation and an extensive nickel sulphide mineral
system within the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex.
WMG has undertaken a combination of both diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. With this two
pronged approach, RC is used to infill and prove up the extent of shallow disseminated nickel sulphide
mineralisation, defined by the Company’s JORC Exploration Target modelling (ASX, Mulga Tank JORC
Exploration Target, 5 February 2024), whilst the diamond drilling program continues to test deeper targets for
basal massive sulphide.
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
Since the initial Exploration Target estimate, the Company has completed two further phases of RC drilling
totalling 36 holes for 11,536m. Results from all the drilling to date have recently been incorporated into a block
model that identifies a significant mineralised zone in the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex. This
mineralised zone was reported as a Mineral Resource Estimate, in accordance with JORC 2012 (ASX, Mulga
Tank Mineral Resource Over 5Mt Contained Nickel - Update, 10 April 2025).
The Mulga Tank March 2025 Mineral Resource (Tables 1 and 2) at a 0.20% Ni cut-off grade is estimated to be:
Indicated 565 million tonnes grading 0.28% Ni, 134ppm Co, 104ppm Cu, 18ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 1.0
Inferred 1,403 million tonnes grading 0.27% Ni, 129ppm Co, 73ppm Cu, 17ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 0.9
Total Resource 1,968 million tonnes grading 0.27% Ni, 131ppm Co, 82ppm Cu, 17ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 0.9
Representing contained metal values of:
Indicated Contained 1.6Mt Ni, 76Kt Co, 59Kt Cu and 327Koz Pt +Pd
Inferred Contained 3.8Mt Ni, 181Kt Co, 102Kt Cu and 748Koz Pt +Pd
Total Contained 5.3Mt Ni, 257Kt Co, 161Kt Cu and 1,075Koz Pt + Pd
WMG believes the Mulga Tank March 2025 Mineral Resource represents the largest nickel sulphide deposit in
Australia and is likely in the top 10 nickel sulphide deposits in the world in terms of total resources of contained
nickel metal.

ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2025
The Company focused its modelling work on an approximate 3.1km x 1.8km area in the centre of the main body
of the Mulga Tank Complex. The block model was divided into three geological domains, the sand cover, a
narrow oxidised zone and then dunite containing disseminated sulphide mineralisation. The Mineral Resource
Estimate is reported for the dunite domain only and nickel within the oxidised domain is specifically excluded
from the reported results.
The block model (Figure 2) used a parent block size of 50m x 50m x 10m (being approximately half the
minimum drill spacing). Drill hole assay compositing was done at 2m with a top-cut of the 99th percentile nickel
assay value of 6,958ppm Ni applied to the raw sample data. Inverse Distance Weighting (IDW2) estimation was
performed using multiple passes at 250m, 400m and 800m search radius incorporating a minimum three drill
holes. The first pass distance was determined from variography results for nickel (250m) and sulphur (300m).

Two zones with closer drill hole spacing within the parent block model were identified and wireframed to define
the resource classification boundaries. The first zone, with drill holes nominally spaced at 200m x 200m (and
approximately corresponding to a first pass of 280m with minimum three drill holes), was defined as the Total
Resource and classified as Inferred (Figure 3). Within this Total Resource, a second zone with drill holes
nominally spaced at 100m x 100m (approximately corresponding to a first pass of 140m with minimum three
drill holes) was classified as Indicated. Blocks within the mineralisation domain, but outside of the Indicated and
Inferred classification boundaries, were categorised as Unclassified (Figure 4).

Independent consultants ERM reviewed the data inputs and methodology used to generate the Mulga Tank
Mineral Resource Estimate. ERM is of the opinion that the input data is sound, and the interpretation and
methodology used to generate the Mineral Resource Estimate is reasonable and acceptable by industry
standards, for the type and style of mineralisation. ERM are satisfied the data, interpretation and methodology
support the reporting of a Mineral Resource Estimate in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
MTD029 (EIS3) GEOCHEMICAL ASSAY RESULTS
Final geochemical assay results for hole MTD029 (EIS3) were received during the period (ASX, Over 1,200m of
Sulphide Mineralisation in MTD029 (EIS), 19 February 2025). The results show prospective high-temperature
adcumulate-extreme adcumulate dunite host rock down the length of the hole, averaging 47.9% MgO and
0.39% Al2O3 (volatile free), over a cumulative 1,563m, for the logged unweathered ultramafic portion of the hole.
The assay results show four broad zones of disseminated nickel mineralisation with elevated Ni and S, in
combination with highly anomalous Cu and PGE:
MTD029
689m at 0.27% Ni, 133ppm Co, 71ppm Cu, 19ppb Pt+Pd from 108m
168m at 0.23% Ni, 130ppm Co, 99ppm Cu, 22ppb Pt+Pd from 866m
266m at 0.34% Ni, 146ppm Co, 86ppm Cu, 37ppb Pt+Pd from 1,192m
124m at 0.32% Ni, 126ppm Co, 50ppm Cu, 27ppb Pt+Pd from 1,534m
Cumulative
1,247m at 0.28% Ni, 134ppm Co, 76ppm Cu, 24ppb Pt+Pd from 108m with S:Ni 1.0
The results show strong evidence for an extensive magmatic nickel sulphide mineral system with a number of
richer mineralised intersections seen down the hole (within the overall broader zones):
MTD029

Figure 5: Assay results for WMG deep diamond holes within the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex
The deeper portion of the hole showed strong evidence for the system to host a massive sulphide component,
with frequent sulphide veining and numerous zones of large sulphide segregations, in a very “active” and
sulphide saturated magma assemblage. These observations continue to validate the Company’s
assumptions and exploration thesis. The visual and geochemical assay results from the hole provide further
insights into the overall architecture of the Mulga Tank Complex, with some very interesting features emerging.
They again support the conclusion that the Mulga Tank Complex is still relatively “in-situ”, sitting right way up
and flat lying with a moderate ~20-30o dip towards the east. The western portion of the Complex appears to be
uplifted, by ~500m or more, and implies that the two prospective “cloud sulphide” mineralised zones can be
targeted at much shallower depths towards the west. The Company will look to revisit the western margin,
targeting these zones for both basal massive sulphide and/or shallow +100m intervals of >0.4% Ni material for a
“starter pit” scenario of the larger open-pitable resource.

ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2025
UPDATE ON METALLURGICAL TEST WORK
The upper portion of diamond hole MTD29 (EIS3) was drilled with larger diameter HQ core to provide material
for initial metallurgical test work of the shallow disseminated mineralisation. Six intervals of mineralisation,
totalling 62m downhole length and approximately 113kg weight, were selected from the top 150m to 300m
depth of the hole.
Each of the 6 intervals of core were crushed and sampled on a length weighted basis to form a 50kg bulk
sample, representative of the hole. The remaining crushed material was kept as individual intervals and placed in
cold storage. To date a series of 12 different rougher flotation tests have been conducted on the bulk sample
material, with the Company recently advancing to Phase 2 of the metallurgical program. Each flotation tests
different factors including grind size (53um to 150um) and various reagents, with and without desliming of fines.
Incorporating the sighter results, further tests have been designed and planned to approximate a processing
flowsheet. This enhanced scope of work is one of the Company’s principal focuses for the first half of 2025 and
results will be announced to shareholders when available.

JASPER HILL
The Jasper Hill Project comprises exploration licences E39/2073, E39/2079 and prospecting licence P39/6267.
The project is located approximately 80km southeast of Laverton and covers part of the poorly exposed Merolia
Greenstone Belt, a NNW trending belt, up to 20km wide, that can be traced over 110km in a SSE direction from
the Burtville Mining Centre. The project area is lightly explored, but is contiguous to the historical producing
mines of Lord Byron (160,000oz at 1.0g/t Au) and Fish (87,000oz at 4.1g/t Au) owned by Brightstar Resources
(ASX:BTR).
Jasper Hill is the Company’s primary gold project containing a mineralised gold trend over 3km strike. The
Company has previously completed field reconnaissance work involving geological mapping, high-resolution
ground magnetic survey and locating historical drill collars and registered aboriginal heritage sites.
Following the grant of P39/6267, the Company completed various fieldwork campaigns involving ground
magnetics (extending current coverage), ground gravity and soil and rock chip sampling. Results from the
ground gravity survey were processed during the quarter.
Further soil sampling, geological mapping and ground geophysics is planned at the project during the current
quarter.

Sandstone and lies on the eastern side of the Youanmi Greenstone Belt, along the major Youanmi Shear.
The tenement is located 7km from the historic Youanmi Gold Mining Centre, which has produced over
600,000oz of gold since its discovery in the late 1800’s, currently owned by Rox Resources (ASX:RXL) and
Venus Metals (ASX:VMC). The area has seen a resurgence in exploration activity with the recent discovery of the
high-grade Penny North (ASX:RMS) and Grace (ASX:RXL) deposits along the Youanmi Shear.
The Company has undertaken various fieldwork campaigns involving field reconnaissance, ground magnetics
and ground gravity targeting the historical Deep Well, and interesting structural displacement along the major
Youanmi Shear. Further ground gravity surveying over the Deep Well Prospect was completed during the period,
increasing resolution to 100m x 100m spacing over the target area.

MELITA
The Melita Project comprises exploration licence E40/379, covering an area of approximately 105km2. The
project is located 20km south-southeast of Leonora and to the north of the Kookynie, Niagara and Orient WellButterfly gold mining centres, in the heart of the WA Goldfields. The Kookynie area has seen recent upswing in
exploration, with WMG’s Melita Project surrounded by the likes of Genesis Minerals (ASX:GMD), Saturn Metals
(ASX:STN), Azure Minerals and KIN Mining (ASX:KIN).
The Company notes the increase in M&A activity around the Leonora-Kookynie area and undertook a review of
the project, including soil geochemical and ground magnetic data collected during a series of WMG field
campaigns (ASX, Major Field Program Commences at Melita, 11 August 2021; Completion of Initial Field
Program at Melita, 16 September 2021).
During 2024 the Company completed a number of field visits to the Melita Project. A high resolution ground
gravity survey was completed over the Airstrip Gossan area, along with geological mapping and sampling. A
number of additional outcrops of Cu-Pb-Zn gossans were identified and sampled. At the Princess Melita area
additional geological mapping of historical workings, sampling and metal detecting was undertaken. The results
of this fieldwork are being interpreted and will be used to plan further work.
During the period the Company compulsory surrendered 14 blocks from the project area as the tenement
reached year seven, the core target areas of the project were maintained.

PINYALLING
The Pinyalling Project comprises exploration licence E59/2486 covering 55km2. The project is located
approximately 25km NW of Paynes Finds and lies at the south-eastern end of the Yalgoo-Singleton Greenstone
Belt, within an area known as the Warriedar Fold Belt that comprises a folded sequence of gabbro and dolerite
intercalated with basalt, ultramafics, sediments and BIF. The Warriedar Fold Belt hosts a number of historic gold
workings at the Pinyalling Mining Centre, 3km north of the tenement area, as well as the Baron Rothschild
prospect drilled by Thundelarra Exploration during the 1990s.
The Company engaged remote sensing specialists Earthscan Pty Ltd to complete satellite based remote
sensing work over the project area, using ASTER multispectral imagery. This work was principally focused on
mapping pegmatite sequences that could potentially host lithium mineralisation. A number of sub-cropping and
outcropping pegmatites were subsequently encountered and sampled. The tenement area was found to contain
a lot more remnant greenstone belt lithologies than the granitic terrane shown on GSWA geological mapping.
These possible extensions of the nearby Warriedar Fold Belt increase the gold potential of the project area than
first thought. A soil sampling survey to test the gold potential of the project area is being planned.
PAVAROTTI
The Pavarotti Project comprises exploration licence E77/2478 and exploration licence application E77/2746.
The project is located approximately 50km north-northeast of Southern Cross and lies on the western side of
the Koolyanobbing Greenstone Belt, a northwest trending sequence of mafic and ultramafic volcanic and
intrusive rocks with lesser sediments intercalated with BIF horizons forming prominent ridges. The BIF horizons
have been exploited since the 1960s, with several open pit iron ore mines that are currently owned by Mineral
Resources (ASX:MIN).
No exploration work was done on the project during the quarter. The Company continues to wait on the grant of
tenement application E77/2746, containing Jock’s Fury, in order to commence exploration.
