Mineral Resources

Mt Edwards Project Mineral Resources

The Mt Edwards Project represents one of the largest known unmined nickel sulphide Mineral Resource in Australia, currently comprising 13.164 Mt at 1.45% Ni for 190,300 nickel tonnes. Importantly it is in a renowned nickel region hosting a number of significant producing mines and with downstream processing infrastructure nearby. The BHP Kambalda concentrator is located approximately 40km to the north-east of the Mt Edwards Project. However, the attributes and close proximity of the deposits also presents the opportunity for a standalone nickel concentrator at the Project.

Notes:

1. All Resources reported at 1.0% Ni cut-off except for Gillett and Armstrong are reported at 0.7% Ni cut-off Tonnes and grades have been rounded to reflect the relative uncertainty of the estimates.
2. Refer to the Widgie Nickel ASX announcements dated 9 January 2024 titled 'Substanial Uplift to Gillett Mineral Resource and 13 December 2023 titled 'Armstrong Mineral Resource Update'.
