As announced on 20 April 2021, the planned demerger, in-specie distribution and listing of Western Gold was conditional on receiving shareholder approval, the IPO being successfully completed and Western Gold receiving listing approval from ASX. GWR shareholders overwhelmingly approved the demerger at yesterday’s GWR general meeting

Importantly shareholders registered on the record date will be eligible to receive part of the planned in-specie distribution of 36,125,000 shares in Western Gold. For other information please refer to the Western Gold Prospectus.

The Company believes that significant exploration upside exists along GWR’s relatively underexplored 22km of the Joyners Find Greenstone belt which sits adjacent to the prolific Norseman- Wiluna Greenstone belt (Figure 1).

GWR has recently updated the Mineral Resource estimate for the Wiluna West Gold Project (WWGP) upgrading the remaining JORC 2004 Mineral Resource estimates to JORC 2012.(refer to ASX announcement 12th April 2021). The combined Wiluna West Gold Project’s JORC-2012 Mineral Resource estimate is now 4,570,000 tonnes at 2.0 g/t Au for 293,000 oz Au (refer Table 1). This represents an increase of 403,000 tonnes on the previous estimate, which was partly reported under the JORC 2004 code (refer to ASX announcement 15th August 2019).

GWR Chairman Mr Gary Lyons commented “We are very pleased with the support from investors for the Western Gold Resources Limited IPO and believe this speaks to the quality of the Wiluna West Gold Project including the recently updated Mineral Resource and the potential across the 22km of Joyners Find Greenstone Belt.

We would also like to thank shareholders for their support and recognition that the demerger of the Wiluna West Gold Project assists the Company in realising the true potential of our gold and allows us to focus on revenue generation from iron ore operations.”

This ASX announcement was authorised for release by Gary Lyons, Chairman of GWR Group Limited.
