POLAR STAR LODE DISCOVERY AT BLUEBIRD-SOUTH BOOSTS WESTGOLD’S PROSPECTS

Significant High-Grade Gold Intercepts Found in Ongoing Drilling Program

Westgold Resources Limited (ASX:WGX), a leading Australian gold mining company, has announced promising results from its latest drilling at the Bluebird-South Junction mining complex in Meekatharra, Western Australia. The drilling program, focused on resource development, has yielded high-grade gold intercepts, indicating a third mining opportunity within the Polar Star Lode.

Highlights

Record intercept of 13.71m @ 18.02g/t Au from 563.00m in drill hole 24SJDD028, including a standout section of 5.85m @ 36.37g/t Au from 567.00m for a total of 247 gram-metres.
Additional notable intersections include:
- 18.00m @ 3.61g/t Au from 737.0m in hole 24SJDD034_W1
- 13.00m @ 3.65g/t Au from 385.0m in hole 24SJDD032
- 10.80m @ 3.06g/t Au from 835.3m in hole 24SJDD033
- 14.58m @ 2.54g/t Au from 531.0m in hole 24SJDD031
- 5.80m @ 4.06g/t Au from 666.0m in hole 24SJDD028_W2
Resource development drilling continues with two surface rigs and two underground drill rigs actively exploring new sections.
An updated Mineral Resource Estimate for Bluebird-South Junction is expected soon.

Westgold’s Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell highlighted the strategic importance of these findings, stating:

The Bluebird-South Junction mine is rapidly becoming the key growth driver of Westgold’s Murchison portfolio.

Our team is mining the Bluebird and South Junction Lodes now and with intercepts like 13.71m @ 18.02g/t Au from the Polar Star Lode we see a third mining opportunity rapidly emerging. The system remains open and with further drilling Polar Star has the potential to expand mine outputs towards 1.5Mtpa.
