Assay results have been received for holes MTRC088 to MTRC094, with results from all seven holes
highlighting broad intersections of nickel sulphide mineralisation and showed further intervals with shallow
higher grade results.
Holes MTRC088 to MTRC094 mostly aimed to in
fi
ll and follow-up on previous drilling in the main body of the
Mulga Tank Complex, both inside the current mineral resource estimate and also looking to extend the current
resource to the south (Figure 1). Numerous intervals of visually logged disseminated nickel sulphide
mineralisation coinciding with assay results showing elevated Ni and S, in combination with anomalous Cu and
PGE were observed, including:

Commenting on the assay results, WMG Managing Director Caedmon Marriott said:
“These seven holes from the Phase 5 program looked to follow-up on previous drilling within the
main body of the Mulga Tank Complex, both within the current Mineral Resource Estimate and also
to the south where Phase 4 and 5 drilling has extended known mineralisation.
All seven holes showed broad zones of mineralisation, with MTRC090 and MTRC091 returning the
strongest results with multiple shallow intersections of higher grade ~0.4% Ni results - MTRC090
186m at 0.30% Ni from 109m including a number of ~0.4% Ni intervals and MTRC091 113m at
0.31% Ni from 104m with 5m at 0.77% Ni from 104m including 2m at 1.29% Ni.
The 32 holes from the Phase 4 and 5 programs will be incorporated into a new Mineral Resource
Estimate in the next couple of weeks. This will hopefully upgrade and expand on the original
Resource based on 58 holes up until Phase 3. The results of the updated Mineral Resource will
feed into Scoping Study work.
Our EIS co-funded seismic survey is planned to commence in the next few weeks and the team
will mobilise to site once shire roads reopen after recent rain in the area.”

MULGA TANK DRILLING PROGRAMS
Exploration results from the Company’s various drilling programs at the Mulga Tank Project over the last three
years have demonstrated signi
fi
cant nickel sulphide mineralisation and an extensive nickel sulphide mineral
system within the Mulga Tank Ultrama
fi
c Complex.
WMG has undertaken a combination of both diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling. With this two
pronged approach, RC is used to in
fi
ll and prove up the extent of shallow disseminated nickel sulphide
mineralisation, de
fi
ned by the Company’s 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.

fi
c
portion of the hole, MTRC089 averaged 48.2% MgO and 0.26% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 238m of ultrama
fi
c,
MTRC090 averaged 47.0% MgO and 0.29% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 240m of ultrama
fi
c, MTRC091 averaged
41.5% MgO and 0.24% Al2O3 over 236m of ultrama
fi
c, MTRC092 averaged 41.1% MgO and 0.29% Al2O3 over
235m of ultrama
fi
c, MTRC093 averaged 40.5% MgO and 0.32% Al2O3 over 216m of ultrama
fi
c and MTRC094
averaged 46.3% MgO and 0.52% Al2O3 (volatile free) over 220m of ultrama
fi
c (Note: MTRC091, MTRC092 and
MTRC093 results were not calculated as volatile free as LOI results had not been received at time of writing).
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 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. However,
signi
fi
cant intersections of >1% Ni as sulphide mineralisation seen in previous results, provide evidence and
support that Mulga Tank is actually more likely a ‘Hybrid’ Type 1/2 system more akin to Perseverance.
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 af
fi
nity for sulphide (chalcophile), in combination with S (and the
S:Ni ratio) as geochemical indicators to con
fi
rm the presence of active magmatic sulphide processes and the
geochemical signature of nickel sulphide mineralisation.
The geochemical assay results for these four holes demonstrate signi
fi
cant 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.
These anomalous zones provide strong evidence for nickel sulphide mineralisation and were generally de
fi
ned
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.

DISCUSSION
Assay results have now been received for the
fi
nal batch of RC holes of the Phase 5 drilling program, with just
two shallow diamond holes MTRC076 and MTRC077 outstanding. These seven RC holes were predominantly
follow-up and in
fi
ll holes within the current Mineral Resource area and further to the south where Phase 4 and
Phase 5 drilling has shown extensions to known mineralisation. All seven holes returned broad zones of
mineralisation with MTRC090 and MTRC091 showing the the best results, and MTRC092 also demonstrating a
signi
fi
cant continuous mineralised interval of 216m at 0.27% Ni from 81m with S:Ni 1.1.
Holes MTRC090 and MTRC091 contained numerous shallow higher grade results of ~0.4% Ni with MTRC091

The Company’s initial Mineral Resource Estimate for Mulga Tank (ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource Over 5Mt
Contained Nickel, 10 April 2025) was based on 58 RC holes and 7 diamond holes up until the Phase 3 drilling
campaign. The results from a further 32 holes from the Phase 4 and Phase 5 drilling are being incorporated into
an updated Mineral Resource over the next few weeks. This upgraded Resource will form the basis of a mine
plan to feed into a Scoping Study the Company is aiming to produce for the project.

EIS SEISMIC SURVEY
The Company was successful in its application to EIS Venture 3 Co-Funded Geophysics under the WA State
Government’s Co-funded Geophysics Program 2026-2027, part of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) and
has been awarded the maximum $250,000 of co-funding towards 50% of costs of an active seismic survey
targeting the main body of the Mulga Tank Ultrama
fi
c Complex within tenement E39/2132 (ASX, WMG Wins
$250,000 EIS Award for Mulga Tank Seismic Survey, 27 April 2026). This grant has recently been increased by
additional $50,000 to $300,000 by the EIS program.
WMG intends to use this funding to conduct a ~35km2 active seismic survey looking to image the architecture
of the Mulga Tank Ultrama
fi
c Complex and its emplacement within the Minigwal Greenstone Belt to aid targeting
of the basal contact for Perseverance-style massive nickel sulphide deposits. The seismic contractor will
mobilise to site next week once shire roads have reopened after closure due to recent rainfall in the area. The
survey is anticipated to take around 3 weeks to complete.
The Company looks forward to updating shareholders on the progress of the seismic survey and ongoing
resource modelling and Scoping Study work.

agship project is the Mulga Tank Ni-Co-Cu-PGE Project, a major ultrama
fi
c complex
found on the under-explored Minigwal Greenstone Belt (100% WMG). WMG’s exploration
work has discovered a signi
fi
cant nickel sulphide mineral system and is considered highly
prospective for globally signi
fi
cant 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 diversi
fi
ed
portfolio of other projects including Fraser Range (Ni-Cu-Co), Mt Narryer (Ni-Co-Cu-PGE,
Au) and Youanmi (Au).

MULGA TANK PROJECT
JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION - TABLE 1
SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
• Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or speci
fi
c specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
• Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools or systems used.
• Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that
are Material to the Public Report.
• In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been
done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples
from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g
charge for
fi
re assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as where there is
coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems.
Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
• Reverse circulation (RC) drilling was completed
using standard industry best practice
• Individual 1m samples were collected directly
from the rig sampling system. Samples were
crushed and pulverised to produce a sub-
sample for analysis by either multi-element
ICP-AES (ME-ICP61 and ME-ICP41), precious
metals
fi
re assay (Au-AA25 or PGM-ICP23)
and loss on ignition at 1,000°C (ME-GRA05)
Drilling
techniques
• Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube,
depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
• Reverse circulation percussion drilling rig with
a 5.25inch face sampling bit
Drill sample
recovery
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip
sample recoveries and results assessed.
• Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples.
• Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias may
have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fi
ne/
coarse material.
• Standard drilling techniques using “best
practice” to maximise sample recovery
• Information not available to assess relationship
between sample recovery and grade

Logging
• Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of
detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
• Whether logging is qualitative or qu
