Despite a number of challenges including road closures due to weather and limited diesel supply, exploration
drilling continued at Mulga Tank during the period. The Company completed a diamond tail to RC hole
MTRC009 with this deep diamond hole being drilled with the aid of a WA Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS)
grant. Hole MTRC009 (EIS9) was drilled to a final depth of 1,540.5m and intersected broad zones of
disseminated mineralisation and frequent remobilised massive sulphide veining and massive sulphide
segregations in a new area of the Complex.
Switching to RC the team completed Phase 4 infill holes MTRC068 to MTRC072, plus an additional infill hole
MTD031 as diamond in an effort to conserve fuel. Drilling is approaching completion of a diamond tail to
MTRC001 after which the rig will change back to RC and continue further holes of the Phase 5 drilling program.
Assay results were received for diamond tail to MTRC011 and RC holes MTRC068, MTRC069 and MTRC071
during the period (ASX, MTRC011 128m at 0.39% Ni inc. 36m at 0.50% Ni, 5 February 2026; High-Grade

ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2026
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 three
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 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 MTRC011
Hole MTRC011 was drilled in October 2023 as part of the westernmost fence of the Company’s Phase 1 RC
program (along with holes MTRC001, MTRC010 and MTCR012). The hole is located ~400m SW of diamond
hole MTD028, which 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). The MTRC011 diamond tail aimed to step out from hole MTD028 and further test the basal
contact of the Complex in this area.
The diamond tail extension was drilled from 312m to a total depth of 934.1m and intersected ~550m of variably
serpentinised and talc-carbonate altered high MgO adcumulate dunite ultramafic (312-864.2m), before
encountering a footwall of basalt and silicified shales at 864.2m depth (864.2-934.1m).
Disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) were observed at numerous intervals down the hole,
cumulatively over more than 250m. In a number of places the disseminated sulphides coalesce into interstitial
blebs (3 to 8% sulphide) between former olivine crystals.
Multiple intersections of high-tenor nickel sulphide immiscible globules and semi-massive sulphide segregations
were observed towards the base of the hole (Figure 1), confirmed by spot pXRF readings up to 46.4% Ni. 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 (ASX, High-grade Sulphide Segregations
at Depth in MTRC011, 30 October 2025).
The assay results for MTRC011 demonstrate extensive zones of highly anomalous Cu and PGE’s in combination
with elevated S, and a S:Ni ratio greater than 0.5 (Figure 3). These zones correlate well with the visible sulphides
observed in the geological logging and together provide strong evidence for nickel in sulphide. A number of
significant broad mineralised intersections were observed down the hole. These were generally defined by a
combination of the various geochemical indicators and cut-off grades (Ni >0.16%, Cu >20ppm, Pt+Pd >20ppb,
S:Ni >0.5), with only minimal inclusion of unmineralised material below mineable width. The broad mineralised
intersections defined were:

Which cumulatively total:
466m at 0.32% Ni, 130ppm Co, 49ppm Cu, 23ppb Pt+Pd with S:Ni 0.8
Again, MTRC011 shows similarities to MTD028 in the trends in mineralisation, with a broad mineralised zone
beneath the dolerite horizon, along with an active basal zone and a second upper active zone, divided by two
unmineralised intervals.
MTRC011 Upper Zone 128m at 0.39% Ni, 138ppm Co, 50ppm Cu, 25ppb Pt+Pd from 490m

HOLE MTRC009 (EIS9)
Hole MTRC009 (EIS9) is located in the centre of the Mulga Tank Complex between previous deep diamond
holes MTD028 and MTRC011 to the west-northwest and MTD026 (EIS2) and MTD029 (EIS3) to the east. All
four of these previous holes showed an active basal zone at depth with multiple intersections of high-grade
remobilised nickel sulphide veinlets and large immiscible sulphide segregations (ASX, High-Grade Sulphide
Segregations at Depth in MTD029 (EIS3), 29 May 2024).
The hole was being drilled as a diamond tail from Phase 1 RC hole MTRC009, saving over 500m of diamond
drilling and drilled with the aid of one of WMG’s Round 31 EIS awards (ASX, WMG Wins Two EIS Awards
Totalling $440,000 for Mulga Tank, 28 April 2025).
The hole was drilled to a depth of 1,437.5m before the end of the 2025 and completed to a final depth of
1,540.5 when drilling recommenced in 2026. It intersected ~900m of variably serpentinised and talc-carbonate
altered high MgO meso-adcumulate dunite ultramafic (522-1,437.5m), before encountering a footwall of silicified
shales and basalt at 1,436m depth (1,436-1,540.5m).
Disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) were observed at numerous intervals down the hole,
cumulatively over more than 300m. In a number of intervals the disseminated sulphides coalesce into interstitial
blebs (3 to 5% sulphide) between former olivine crystals and graded up to coarsely disseminated in places
(5-10% sulphide) (Figure 3). Corresponding pXRF readings of Ni, with elevated Cu and S, support the likelihood
of this being disseminated magmatic nickel sulphide mineralisation.

Multiple intersections of high-grade remobilised massive nickel sulphide veinlets as well as large immiscible
sulphide segregations were observed down the hole (Figure 2), clearly demonstrating all the conditions and
processes are present to form basal massive sulphide accumulations within the Mulga Tank Complex (ASX,
MTRC009 (EIS9) High-Grade Remobilised Massive Sulphide, 22 December 2025).
PHASE 4 RC HOLES
Following on from MTRC009 (EIS9) the Company completed six Phase 4 RC infill holes MTRC068 to MTRC072
plus MTD031, a planned infill hole but drilled as diamond to conserve diesel. Assay results were received for
holes MTRC068, MTRC069 and MTRC071.
Holes MTRC068 and MTRC069 were designed to infill in the centre of the Mulga Tank Mineral Resource
Estimate, to increase drilling density and merge the two zones of Indicated Resource. Hole MTRC071 is the first
of six holes forming an east-west fence along the southern margin of the current Inferred Resource shell, looking
to extend mineralisation to the south and infill between the step out fence of holes MTRC064 to MTRC067
(ASX, MTRC066 Best RC Hole to Date at Mulga Tank 18 September 2026; Commencing 2026 Exploration
Drilling at Mulga Tank, 23 January 2026).
All three holes show broad intersections of disseminated nickel sulphide mineralisation containing high sulphur,
S:Ni and chalcophile elements (Cu and PGE’s), with MTRC068 and MTRC069 in particularly showing some
robust zones of mineralisation with 100-400pppm Cu and 0.4-1.3% S. MTRC069 was the standout hole
returning 225m at 0.32% Ni, 145ppm Co, 95ppm Cu from 93m, including a zone of 27m at 0.61% Ni,
251ppm Co, 269ppm Cu from 273m, with a high-grade interval of 4m at 2.17% Ni, 870ppm Co, 941ppm Cu,
0.11g/t Pt+Pd from 289m, which included 1m at 4.35% Ni, 0.17% Co, 0.19% Cu, 0.29g/t Pt+Pd from 289m
- the second highest grade nickel result at the project.

PHASE 5 DRILLING PROGRAM
The Company announced a Phase 5 drilling program, continuing directly on from Phase 4 (ASX, Mulga Tank
Phase 5 Drilling Plans, 9 February 2026). A key focus of the Phase 5 program is looking for higher grade
resource tonnes. The Company has planned 25 holes within the main body of the Complex, looking to:
• Follow-up 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);
• Follow-up shallow +0.40% Ni results around hole MTRC066 (ASX, MTRC066 Best RC Hole to Date at
Mulga Tank, 18 September 2025);
• Test new areas 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);
• Diamond tail MTRC001 to further target the prospective basal zones on the western margin of the Mulga
Tank Complex.
In addition, the program will include seven holes in neighbouring tenement E39/2134 looking to test the ~1.5km
long mineralised komatiite body with the aid of two current EIS grants totalling $400,000 (ASX, ASX, WMG Wins

MAGNESITE SUPPLY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
During the period the Company was part of a WA Critical Minerals Delegation to North America, attending the
PDAC Conference in Toronto, along with meetings in New York and Washington. Travelling with the delegation
the Company met fellow WA critical minerals company Magnium Australia Pty Ltd (Magnium). Following the trip
the Company has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Magnium under which the two
companies will look to collaborate on the possible supply of magnesite (MgCO3) from the Mulga Tank Project.
Magnium is a private mineral technology company working to commercialise their MagsonicTM process to
produce low-carbon Magnesium (Mg) metal. Magnium are looking to build a pilot plant at Collie, Western
Australia, to demonstrate their proprietary Carbothermic Reduction process with supersonic quenching to
extract magnesium metal from magnesium-rich resources. A key potential feedstock into this process is
magnesite (MgCO3).
The main body of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex is a high MgO (+45% MgO) dunite intrusive, with coarse
grained olivine generally showing adcumulate to extreme adcumulate texture. The dunite body covers
approximately 20km2 (~4km x ~5km) and has been shown by drilling to be around ~1,500m thick at its deepest
point in the centre. The upper 10-20m of the dunite has been weathered and altered and a “magnesite cap” has
formed from the talc carbonate alteration of the olivine. This zone was modelled and domained as oxide “OX" in
the Company’s Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource Over 5Mt Contained Nickel, 10
April 2025). Recent semi-quantitive XRD results for a number of composite samples taken from within this zone
suggest it contains up to 48% magnesite (MgCO3).
Under the terms of the MoU the two companies have agreed to collaborate together to investigate this oxide
zone. WMG will look to establish the extent of the magnesite resource and supply a bulk sample to Magnium for
test work in their MagsonicTM process. Assuming successful results in establishing a resource and suitability of
the magnesite, and/or other high MgO feedstocks, the companies will look to enter into good faith negotiations
in relation to a formal supply agreement under which Magnium may access the Mulga Tank magnesite supply.
This magnesite initiative has the potential to add significant value to the Mulga Tank Project, converting what
would be a cost of removing overburden or waste into a valuable revenue steam.
EIS GRANTS
During the period the Company applied for an EIS Venture 3 Co-Funded Geophysics grant for an active seismic
geophysical survey at the Mulga Tank Ni-Co-Cu-PGE Project, under the WA State Government’s Co-funded
Geophysics Program 2026-2027, part of the Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).
The Company was successful in its application to Venture 3 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
Ultramafic Complex within tenement E39/2132 (ASX, WMG Wins $250,000 EIS Award for Mulga Tank Seismic
Survey, 27 April 2026). The grant procedure is a competitive application process awarded to geophysical survey
projects assessed against EIS criteria.
WMG intends to use this funding to conduct a ~35km2 active seismic survey looking to image the architecture
of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex and its emplacement within the Minigwal Greenstone Belt to aid targeting
of the basal contact for Perseverance-style massive nickel sulphide deposits.
ASX:WMG www.westernmines.com.au 10
ASX RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2026
The proposed ~100 line kilometre survey will be instrumental in visualising the 3D architecture of the Complex
and in particular mapping the prospective basal contact and possible feeder vent. The survey may even be able
to directly detect the presence of significant massive sulphide accumulations, applying a Perseverance target
model (>4m thickness). Integrating the survey results with existing magnetic and gravity 3D datasets, will
improve the wider understanding of the Minigwal Greenstone Belt and could help uncover the overall magma
pathway through the belt - aiding belt-wide targeting of nickel sulphide deposits.

Figure 7: WMG’s planned active seismic survey over the Mulga Tank Complex
WMG currently has three active EIS drilling grants at the Mulga Tank Project totalling some $620,000 (Table 1) in
addition to the $250,000 geophysics grant and has now won eight grants totalling $1,628,000 over the last
three years. The Company considers this a tangible external validation of both the exploration potential of the
Mulga Tank Complex and the targeting approach of the WMG exploration team. These current grants will be
utilised for high impact exploration over the next 6 months.
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 RELEASE | QUARTERLY ACTIVITIES REPORT MARCH 2026
Jasper Hill is the Company’s primary gold project containing a mineralised gold trend over 3km strike. The
Company has previously completed various fieldwork campaigns involving involving geological mapping, high-
resolution ground magnetic survey and ground gravity survey, soil and rock chip sampling, locating historical drill
collars and registered aboriginal heritage sites.
Further geological mapping, soil sampling of areas of interest and targeting work was completed during the
quarter.
FRASER RANGE
The Fraser Range Project comprises tenement application E28/3570 covering approximately ~165km2 in the
Fraser Range area of Western Australia, located ~300km east of Kalgoorlie and ~120km southeast of Mulga
Tank. The exploration area was previously held by Legend Mining (ASX:LEG) in joint venture with Mark Creasy.
The project area contains the Octagonal Intrusive Complex which was explored by Legend for Nova-Bollinger
style magmatic nickel-copper sulphide. Between 2019 and 2024, Legend conducted multiple phases of
exploration which included aircore, RC and diamond drilling, and airborne magnetic, MLEM, FLEM, DHEM,
AMT, IP and 3D seismic geophysical surveys. Exploration results demonstrated a mineralised suite of mafic to
ultramafic intrusives with a number of intersections of visible disseminated to semi-massive nickel-copper
sulphides observed. No exploration activities have been conducted at Octagonal since mid-2024.

MT NARRYER
The Mt Narryer Project comprises tenement application E09/3048 covering approximately ~235km2 near Mt
Narryer on the northwestern margin of the Yilgarn Craton, located ~240km northwest of Mount Magnet and
~250km northeast of Geraldton.
The project area was previously held by Platina Resources (ASX:PGM), partly in joint venture with Chalice Mining
(ASX:CHN) between 2023 and 2024 (ASX, Platina to Farm-Out Mt Narryer Project to Chalice Mining, 27 March
2023). Chalice is understood to have completed airborne magnetics, ground gravity and limited soil sampling
spending approximately $350,000 of the initial $600,000 farm-in spend. Whilst some anomalous Ni-Co-Cu-PGE
prospectivity was identified detailed results don’t appear to have been made public. The project area covers an
interesting cratonic margin location that WMG considers could be prospective for magmatic nickel-copper
sulphide mineral systems.

YOUANMI
The Youanmi Project comprises exploration licence E57/1119. The project is located 70km southwest of
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. An extension to the gravity geophysical survey was completed during the period.
