Further High-Grade Results from Mulga Tank
Western Mines Group Ltd (WMG or Company) (ASX:WMG) is pleased to update shareholders on the progress
of our Phase 5 drilling program and geochemical assay results recently received for shallow diamond hole
MTD031 at the Mulga Tank Project, on the Minigwal Greenstone Belt, in Western Australia’s Eastern Goldfields.
Fuel availability has been significantly relieved and smoother progress of the Phase 5 drilling program has
resumed. The Company has recently completed drilling a diamond tail to hole MTRC001 and three RC infill
holes MTRC073 to MTRC075. The rig has just finished the next batch of 10 mud rotary pre-collars and has
switched back RC to begin drilling these holes this week.
Assay results have been received for shallow diamond hole MTD031 which was part of the Phase 4 infill drilling
program in the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex. Results from the hole highlight a broad intersection of
essentially continuous nickel sulphide mineralisation with elevated Ni and high S, and showed further intervals
with higher grade results. The hole returned 230.2m at 0.30% Ni, 131ppm Co, 104ppm Cu from 90m,
including intersections of 6m at 1.02% Ni, 366ppm Co, 303ppm Cu from 259m and 8m at 0.81% Ni,
269ppm Co, 340ppm Cu from 298m, with 1m at 1.44% Ni, 498ppm Co, 0.17% Cu, 0.11g/t Pt+Pd from
300m and 1m at 1.83% Ni, 539ppm Co and 371ppm Cu from 304m.

Commenting on the results and Phase 5 drilling, WMG Managing Director Dr Caedmon Marriott said:
“The Phase 5 drilling program at Mulga Tank is now operating in a smoother fashion having
overcome a series of issues and fuel availability is greatly relieved. We’ve completed a number of
the outstanding RC infill holes along the southern fence with holes MTRC073 to MTRC075 and
also drilled a diamond tail to Phase 1 RC hole MTRC001, again chasing the up-dip continuation of
the enriched deeper zones seen in MTD028 and MTRC011.
We’ve recently received assay for results for hole MTD031. This was part of the Phase 4 southern
fence but drilled as diamond to conserve fuel. Assay results show an essentially continuous
intersection of mineralisation, with high S and elevated Ni and chalcophiles down the hole. The
results returned 230m at 0.30% Ni with a couple of higher grade horizons of over 1% Ni, including
6m at 1.02% Ni and second lower zone with multiple individual metres of ~1.5 to ~1.8% Ni. These
two enriched horizons at the bases of magma pulses or flows have been seen in number of holes
in the southern area of the main body of the Complex and can be traced over 100’s of metres.
They are a very interesting target for relatively shallow zones of high-grade material if richer and
thicker zones of this mineralisation can be found.
The MTRC001 diamond tail is another hole testing the basal contact on the relatively shallower
western margin of the Mulga Tank Complex and is chasing the up-dip continuation of the two
enriched basal zones seen in nearby holes MTD028 and MTRC011 tail. The combination of
previous RC assay results and initial diamond core pXRF results from the hole show the now
familiar pattern of mineralised sulphide horizons sandwiched around two less mineralised zones
within bottom ~800m basal sequence of the Complex. The pXRF results for the lower mineralised
basal zone show high sulphur but a broad depleted nickel zone indicating this area of the Complex
may be sitting downstream of nickel sulphide accumulating event within this layer or horizon. The
Company has planned five RC holes in the SW corner of the Complex as part of the Phase 5
program hoping to target the near surface expression and up-dip continuation of these enriched
zones for what could be +0.40% starter pit material.”

MULGA TANK DRILLING PROGRAMS
Exploration results from the Company’s various drilling programs at the Mulga Tank Project 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 recent Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource
Over 5Mt Contained Nickel, 10 April 2025), whilst the diamond drilling program continues to test deeper targets
for basal massive sulphide.
Hole MTD031 was part of the Phase 4 program designed to infill within the current mineral resource estimate
and extend it towards the south.

ASX RELEASE | FURTHER HIGH-GRADE RESULTS FROM MULGA TANK
HIGH MGO ADCUMULATE DUNITE
Assay results for MTD031 averaged 47.1% MgO and 0.45% Al2O3 (volatile free) over the 236.3m ultramafic
portion of the hole. 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%.
The 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 MTD031 demonstrate significant evidence for “live” magmatic sulphide
chemical processes and show a fairly continuous zone of highly anomalous Cu and PGE’s in combination with
elevated S, and a S:Ni ratio greater than 0.5. 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.

HOLE MTRC001 DIAMOND TAIL
Hole MTRC001 was originally drilled in October 2023 as part of the westernmost fence of the Company’s Phase
1 RC program (along with holes MTRC010, MTRC011 and MTCR012). The hole is located ~900m SSW of
diamond hole MTD028 and ~600m S of MTRC011 diamond tail. Hole MTD028 returned an intersection of
140m at 0.49% Ni from 874m, including 82m at 0.55% Ni from 886m, in a zone of possible Perseverance-like
“cloud sulphide”, containing multiple high-grade sulphide segregations, above the basal contact (ASX, MTD028
Disseminated Nickel Sulphide 140m at 0.49% Ni, 31 October 2023); whilst hole MTRC011 demonstrated a
second upper enriched mineralised zone intersecting 128m at 0.39% Ni from 490m, including 36m at 0.50% Ni
from 494m (ASX, MTRC011 128m at 0.39% Ni inc. 36m at 0.50% Ni, 5 February 2026).
The MTRC001 diamond tail aimed to step further south from holes MTD028 and MTRC011 and again test the
basal contact of the Complex in this area, chasing the up-dip continuation of the two enriched basal zones.
The diamond tail extension was drilled from 444m to a total depth of 895m and intersected ~400m of variably
serpentinised and talc-carbonate altered high MgO adcumulate dunite ultramafic (444-855.4m), before
encountering a footwall of basalt and silicified shales at 855.4m depth (855.4-895m) (Appendix - Table 4).
Disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) were observed at numerous intervals down the hole,
cumulatively over around 200m. In a number of places the disseminated sulphides coalesce into interstitial blebs
(3 to 8% sulphide) between former olivine crystals (Appendix - Table 5). Corresponding pXRF readings of Ni,
with elevated Cu and S, support the likelihood of this being disseminated magmatic nickel sulphide
mineralisation.
A number of intersections of high-tenor nickel sulphide immiscible globules and semi-massive sulphide
segregations were observed towards the base of the hole similar to those seen in MTD028 and MTRC011,
including the familiar ~20-40m zone of sulphide “jellyfish” pockets. These sulphide globules and segregations
clearly demonstrate all the conditions and processes are present to form basal massive sulphide accumulations
within the Mulga Tank Complex.

Cautionary statement on visible sulphides
Mineralogical work on a limited number of samples from previous diamond holes has confirmed
disseminated pentlandite mineralisation within the Mulga Tank Complex. 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. However, 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.
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.
MTRC001 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 MTRC01 have
been taken at 50cm intervals down the core from 444m depth.
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. Processed pXRF data from
MTRC001 is presented below (Figure 5).
In general the pXRF data confirms the rock to be high MgO, adcumulate dunite down the length of the hole. The
mean average Ni value across at total of 828 readings taken over the logged ultramafic portions of the hole was
0.27% Ni, with individual spot values of up to 6.6% Ni where high tenor sulphide segregations were tested.
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 broad sections of high MgO, S, Cu and Ni results. Significant trends within the
pXRF results (and subsequent assay results) are beginning to be discerned and able to be correlated between
the deep diamond holes drilled so far (MTD023, MTD026, MTD027 and MTD028), starting to reveal the
architecture of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex.
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.
STATUS OF CURRENT DRILLING
The Phase 5 drilling program (ASX, Mulga Tank Phase 5 Drilling Plans, 9 February 2026) is once again
progressing well after overcoming various issues and a shortage of diesel availability. The Company has planned
25 holes within the main body of the Complex with a key focus of the Phase 5 program being looking for higher
grade resource tonnes. Having completed the MTRC001 diamond tail and RC holes MTRC073 to MTRC075 the
rig has mud-rotary pre-collared the next batch of 10 holes that commenced drilling this week:
• 6 holes (2 x diamond, 4 x RC) - Follow-up on high-grade +1-2% Ni results around holes MTRC032,
MTRC038 and MTRC046 (ASX, MTRC046 Two High-Grade Zones inc. 5m at 1.92% Ni 0.21% Cu, 17
September 2024)
• 4 of 7 RC holes - Follow-up on shallow +0.40% Ni results around hole MTRC066 (ASX, MTRC066 Best
RC Hole to Date at Mulga Tank, 18 September 2025)
After completing these holes the second half of the program will include:
• Remaining 3 of 7 RC holes - Follow-up on shallow +0.40% Ni results around hole MTRC066 (ASX,
MTRC066 Best RC Hole to Date at Mulga Tank, 18 September 2025)
• 5 RC holes - Testing new areas in the SW of the Complex up-dip from richer basal zones for shallow
broad +100m +0.40% Ni (ASX, MTRC011 128m at 0.39% Ni inc. 36m at 0.50% Ni, 6 February 2026)
• Infill and extend the current Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource Over 5Mt
Contained Nickel, 10 April 2025)

DISCUSSION
Hole MTD031 is part of a southern fence of holes designed to infill and extend the Mulga Tank Mineral Resource
Estimate to the south, drilled as diamond core to conserve fuel during the peak of diesel uncertainty. This fence
has recently be completed with RC holes MTRC073 to MTRC075. MTD031 showed an essentially continuous
intersection of robust mineralisation with 230.2m at 0.30% Ni from 90m and a S:Ni of 1.3 over the interval. This
southern area of drilling within the main body of the Mulga Tank Complex has returned some of the best
mineralisation to date across the now 75 shallow RC holes WMG has drilled, including nearby hole MTRC066
(ASX, MTRC066 Best RC Hole to Date at Mulga Tank 18 September 2026; Commencing 2026 Exploration
Drilling at Mulga Tank, 23 January 2026).
The MTRC001 diamond tail focuses on another theme that Company is following up on, testing the relatively
shallower western margin of the Mulga Tank Complex and chasing the up-dip continuation of two enriched
basal zones seen in MTD028 and MTRC011. The diamond tail was drilled from 444m to 895m. The first 2m of
the original RC hole appear to contain low MgO mafic, believed to be the base of the dolerite sill marker horizon
seen in the deeper eastern portion of the Complex. The hole therefore contains essentially the entire ~800m
basal portion of the Complex beneath the dolerite. Between the combination of the existing RC assay results
and initial pXRF results from the diamond tail the familiar pattern of mineralised and unmineralised horizons can
once again be seen. pXRF results from the lower mineralised basal contact zone appear to show considerable
nickel depletion indicating this area of the basal magma pulse maybe be downstream of a significant nickel
sulphide accumulating event.
After a number of somewhat frustrating delays the Phase 5 drilling program is now running smoothly. The rig has
completed the next batch of pre-collars and has recommenced RC drilling. These next holes focus around
MTRC046 and MTRC066 targeting extensions of higher grade mineralisation, to help model distribution of
higher grades within the Mulga Tank Mineral Resource Estimate. Following these holes the second half of the
Phase 5 program will include a number of holes in a new area in the SW of the main body of the Complex. This
area is interpreted to contain a shallower uplifted portion of the ~800m basal sequence of the Complex beneath
the dolerite sill with the hope of intersecting the up-dip continuation of the broad +100m +0.40% Ni enriched
zones seen in MTD028 and MTRC011 but in a near surface position directly under the sand.

ABOUT WMG
Western Mines Group Ltd (ASX:WMG) is a mineral exploration company driven by the goal
to create significant investment returns for our shareholders through exploration and
discovery of high-value gold and nickel sulphide deposits across a portfolio of highly-
prospective projects located on major mineral belts of Western Australia.
Our flagship project is the Mulga Tank Ni-Co-Cu-PGE Project, a major ultramafic complex
found on the under-explored Minigwal Greenstone Belt (100% WMG). WMG’s exploration
work has discovered a significant nickel sulphide mineral system and is considered highly
prospective for globally significant Ni-Co-Cu-PGE deposits. An Mineral Resource Estimate
of 1,968Mt at 0.27% Ni, over 5.3Mt of contained nickel, was announced in April 2025,
making Mulga Tank the largest nickel sulphide deposit in Australia.
The Company’s primary gold project is Jasper Hill, where WMG has strategically
consolidated a 3km mineralised gold trend with walk-up drill targets. WMG has a diversified
portfolio of other projects including Fraser Range (Ni-Cu-Co), Mt Narryer (Ni-Co-Cu-PGE,
Au) and Youanmi (Au).
