After the end of the quarter the Company incorporated all the results from the Phase 4 and 5 drilling into a new
Mineral Resources Estimate (JORC 2012). The Company’s internal modelling work was reviewed by
independent consultants ERM. The Mineral Resource Estimate using a 0.20% Ni cut-off grade is:
Total Resource 2,647 Mt grading 0.27% Ni, 131ppm Co, 77ppm Cu, 19ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 1.0
Of which:
Indicated 1,121 Mt grading 0.28% Ni, 133ppm Co, 90ppm Cu, 19ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 1.0
Inferred 1,526 Mt grading 0.27% Ni, 130ppm Co, 68ppm Cu, 19ppb Pt+Pd S:Ni 0.9
With contained metal within the Total Resource of:
7.2Mt Ni, 347kt Co, 205kt Cu and 1.6Moz Pt + Pd
The updated Mineral Resource Estimate represents a significant increase from the initial April 2025 estimate
(ASX, Mulga Tank Mineral Resource over 5Mt Contained Nickel, 10 April 2025) and shows:
• +35% increase in Total Resource Tonnes and Total Contained Nickel Metal
• +98% increase in Indicated Resource Tonnes and Indicated Contained Nickel Metal
• +18% increase in Total Resource Tonnes above 0.32% Ni cut-off
At the beginning the period the Company announced a capital raise of $2.74m with commitments received to
issue 16,822,694 fully paid ordinary shares, at an issue price of $0.163 per share (ASX, Capital Raise to New
Cornerstone Investor, 29 July 2026). The placement was led by Lowell Resources Fund (ASX:LRT) subscribing
for a total of 12,269,938 shares and becoming the Company’s new largest shareholder at 10.6%. A further
4,352,756 shares were placed by the Company to professional investors and current Top 20 shareholders,
including previous largest shareholder Equentia Natural Resources maintaining their interest in the Company.
The Company will host a Quarterly Shareholder Question and Answer Webinar on Thursday 5 November,

PROJECTS
MULGA TANK
The Mulga Tank Project comprises exploration licences E39/2132, E39/2134 and E39/2223 and exploration
licence applications E39/2299, E39/2609 and E39/2610, 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 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 recently updated Mineral Resource Estimate (ASX, Mulga
Tank Mineral Resource Over 7Mt Contained Nickel, 26 October 2026), whilst the diamond drilling program
continues to test deeper targets for basal massive sulphide.

HOLE MTRC001 DIAMOND TAIL
Hole MTRC001 was drilled in September 2023 as part of the westernmost fence of the Company’s Phase 1 RC
program (along with holes MTRC010, MTRC011 and MTRC012). The hole is located ~600m S of hole
MTRC011, which itself was ~400m SW of MTD028. 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). MTRC011 diamond tail aimed to step out from hole
MTD028 (ASX, MTRC011 128m at 0.39% Ni inc. 36m at 0.50% Ni, 5 February 2026) whilst the diamond tail to
MTRC001 looked to further test the basal contact of the Complex up-dip from MTD028 and MTRC011.
The MTRC001 diamond tail extension was drilled from 444m to a total depth of 895.1m and intersected ~410m
of variably serpentinised and talc-carbonate altered high MgO adcumulate dunite ultramafic (444-855.5m),
before encountering a footwall of basalt and silicified shales at 855.5m depth (855.5-895.1m).
Disseminated magmatic sulphides (trace to 2%) were observed at numerous intervals down the hole. In a
number of places the disseminated sulphides coalesce into interstitial blebs (3 to 5% sulphide) between former
olivine crystals.

EIS SEISMIC SURVEY
In the first half of the year, the Company was successful in its application for an EIS Venture 3 Co-Funded
Geophysics grant and was 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.
The proposed ~100 line kilometre ~35km2 active seismic survey will be instrumental in visualising the 3D
architecture of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic 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).
The seismic survey contractor mobilised to site during October and the survey is currently underway.

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 producing mines of Lord
Byron and Fish 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 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. Data from a gravity survey completed during the previous quarter
was processed during the period and previous soil samples were submitted for assay.

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. Data from a gravity survey completed during the previous quarter was processed during the
period.
