WAF intends to provide investors with total results from the program alongside an updated mineral resource estimate, due in the third quarter of 2025.
“Resource definition drilling below M1 South reserves has returned strong results, including 44m at 25.8 g/t gold and 44.5m at 17.1 g/t gold, confirming the underground operation will continue to be a high-margin long-life asset,” executive chairman Richard Hyde said, adding the drilling had underscored MIS’ value.
“Results from the recent drilling are expected to deliver an increase in both tonnes and contained gold in comparison to the 2024 resource model.”
