Telfer Tenement Won in Contested Ballot

 

Successful tenement ballot increases area near Telfer by 67km(2)

Wishbone Gold Plc is pleased to provide this update to shareholders on the
Company's expanded tenement area that surrounds Greatland Gold Plc's (AIM and
ASX: GGP) Telfer gold mine, and which is to the east of the Nifty Copper Mine
owned by Cyprium Metals Ltd (ASX: CYM) in Western Australia (Figure 1).

 

Wishbone has won a contested ballot for 67km(2) of mineral title on crown
land, 25km north-west of Telfer, which was applied for by multiple parties
including ASX listed Antipa Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZY). The Exploration License
application E45/7169 will now move towards grant with the tenement to be added
to an existing access agreement with Greatland Gold, and an existing Heritage
Agreement.

 

Ed Mead, Wishbone Gold WA director, commented: "It is a terrific result for
Wishbone to secure this area in a contested ballot undertaken by the WA Mines
Department last week. The tenement will now move towards grant and then will
be added to an existing access agreement with Greatland. Also noteworthy is
the fact it is covered by our existing Heritage Agreement for the area.

 

The new tenement covers an area of 67km(2) and is easily accessed via the main
road between Telfer and Marble Bar. We will work up data on the tenement as we
move towards getting back on the ground for the start of the 2026 drilling
season at Red Setter expected in April.

 

Assay results for the Red Setter copper and gold project are expected shortly
from the 2025 drill program and the geologists at Apex Geoscience are well
advanced with their geological and structural interpretation. We remain happy
with what we have seen to date in the 2025 drill core and when we receive and
analyse the assays for 2025 we will finalise our 2026 drilling plans. We look
forward to increased news flow over the coming months."
