Western Mines Group Ltd. update shareholders on the completion of diamond drill hole MTD024, at the Mulga Tank Ni-Cu-PGE Project, on the Minigwal Greenstone Belt, in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields. Hole MTD024 was designed to test DHEM and MLEM geophysical anomalies in the Panhandle area of the Mulga Tank Ultramafic Complex. The Panhandle is interpreted to represent komatiite flow sequences extending from the main body of the complex.

MTD024 intersected a ~450m assemblage of komatiite ultramafic and interbedded basalts, cherts and sulphidic black shales. The hole supports WMG's geological model for the complex and Panhandle area, however the highly variable sequence of flows suggests the hole targeted a distal flank environment away from a main komatiite channel. An intersection of remobilised nickel sulphide blebs and veinlets was seen at 573m depth.

The DHEM and MLEM Geophysical anomalies tested by the hole are thought to be explained by intersections of semi massive pyrrhotite seen within black shales at target depths of 515m and 659m. These were some of the densest accumulations of sulphide seen to date at the project - supporting the EM methodology but ultimately not proving to be nickel bearing sulphides. The source of the remobilised massive nickel sulphide veinlets seen in this hole and nearby holes MTD006 (0.25m at 3.8% Ni, 0.7% Cu, 0.7g/t Pt+Pd from 221.6m) and MTD016 (0.3m at 1.57% Ni, 0.13% Cu, 0.12g/t Pt+PD from 281.9m) and historical hole MTD006 (0. 25m at 3.8%Ni, 0.7% Cu., 0.7g/t Mt+Pd from 221.

6 April 2022). 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 MTD024 have been taken at 50cm intervals down the core.

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 and drill targeting. The pXRF data for hole MTD024 is highly variable given the complex, interbedded nature of the lithologies observed. Some sections of high MgO (>40%) komatiite were observed but in general MgO content varied in a 20-35% range - confirming likely extrusive origin.

The mean average Ni value across a total of 937 readings taken from the logged ultramafic portion of the hole is 0.13% Ni, with individual spot values of up to 1.7% Ni where remobilised nickel sulphide blebs and veinlets were observed.
