Warriedar Uncovers High-Grade Gold Depth Extensions at Windinne Well

Context and Significance

Warriedar Resources Limited (ASX, WA8) has announced assay results from its recent diamond tail and reverse circulation drilling campaigns at the Windinne Well gold deposit, part of the company’s Golden Range Project in Western Australia’s Murchison region. The results confirm the presence of substantial high-grade gold mineralisation extending at depth across both the North and Central zones of the deposit, reinforcing the potential for resource growth in this strategically important area.

Windinne Well, located just 5 kilometres south of Warriedar’s Golden Range processing plant, currently holds an inferred Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of approximately 92,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 2.9 grams per tonne. The recent drilling program was designed to test the depth extensions of the deposit and to explore for additional mineralisation along strike within the same host banded iron formation unit.

Drilling Highlights and Geological Insights

The assays returned from six diamond tail holes and six reverse circulation holes revealed several notable intercepts, including 12.2 metres at 3.63 g/t gold from 265.8 metres in the Windinne Well North zone, and multiple high-grade intervals in the Central zone such as 16.1 metres at 1.97 g/t gold from 315 metres, and a remarkable 0.3 metres at 146.8 g/t gold from 340.1 metres. These results demonstrate continuity of mineralisation at depth and suggest that the deposit remains open for further expansion.

Warriedar’s Managing Director and CEO, Amanda Buckingham, highlighted the importance of these findings, stating that the results confirm the extension of gold mineralisation within the ‘Golden Corridor’; a key focus area that already hosts a combined Mineral Resource Estimate of approximately 2.22 million ounces of gold equivalent. This corridor includes several deposits such as Ricciardo, M1, Azure Coast, and Bugeye, all of which are under active evaluation for resource growth.

Strategic Positioning and Next Steps

The Windinne Well deposit’s proximity to existing infrastructure and other mining operations, including Fenix’s Shine Iron Ore Mine, enhances its strategic value. The deposit’s geological setting as a banded iron formation-hosted orogenic gold system is typical of the region and supports the potential for further discoveries.

Warriedar is continuing its drilling efforts, with rigs currently active at the Ricciardo deposit and further assays pending from one remaining diamond tail hole at Windinne Well. The company plans to undertake additional drilling and metallurgical studies to further define and potentially expand the resource base.

These developments underscore Warriedar’s commitment to advancing its portfolio within the Southern Murchison region, leveraging detailed geological understanding and systematic exploration to unlock value.
