“This pivotal acquisition for WIN heralds the end of a challenging period for the company searching for a new strategic direction to unlock value for our shareholders and attract new investor interest. We believe we have made a great choice in securing a quality gold asset with ample growth upside and a proven production history in what we regard as a very much forgotten gold province.
“Our existing nickel and lithium resource base remains firmly part of the portfolio to complement this new commodity and new project area.
“The sleeves are rolled up and we are raring to get going”.
Meteoric Resources Executive Chairman, Dr. Andrew Tunks, commented:
“We are delighted with the sale of the Butchers Creek Gold Project to WIN Metals. This prospective gold asset deserves dedicated attention in the current gold market, and the Board of Meteoric is pleased that WIN is able to provide this focus given our intense efforts on the Caldeira Rare Earth Element Project in Brazil which is rapidly progressing towards development.
“As well as realising value for our shareholders with the asset sale, our investors retain ongoing exposure to the exploration and development of the Butchers Creek Gold Project through our major shareholding in WIN Metals.
“We believe WIN Metals has an excellent technical team, and a motivated Board looking to drive this project forward, and we look forward to seeing their success in advancing Butchers Creek.”

Overview
-
Butchers Creek is a historic gold production centre hosting a current global mineral resource of 5.6Mt at 2.0g/t Au for 357,000oz of gold[1] and a series of advanced gold drill targets. Previous production from the Butchers Creek gold mine between 1995 and 1997 produced 52,000oz at 2.1g/t until mining ceased due to historically low gold prices[2] .
-
Drilling by Meteoric, since its acquisition in 2020, has extended the thick high-grade mineralisation at Butchers Creek 360m to the south of the current open pit with results including[3,4] :
-
BCRD467 - 69m @ 4.38g/t Au from 181m including 19m @ 7.22g/t Au from 204m
-
BCDD372 - 56m @ 2.69g/t Au from 181m including 18m @ 4.85g/t Au from 203m
-
BCRC475 - 45m @ 2.25g/t Au from 259m including 5m @ 10.77g/t Au from 261m
-
BCRC466 - 53m @ 2.14g/t Au from 147m
-
BCDD373 - 8m @ 10.41g/t Au from 156m including 2m @ 34.44g/t Au from 160m
-
Mineralisation at Butchers Creek remains open with significant potential to extend to the south of current drilling.
-
At the Golden Crown Prospect located some 6kms north of Butchers Creek, historic drilling by Northern Star Resources ( NST ) and reported by Meteoric defined high-grade mineralisation at both the Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh Prospects. Previous drilling was limited to a depth of just 100m, with some 600m of strike remaining open between the two defined resources. Significant intercepts include[2] :
-
GCD010 – 2.0m @ 200.2g/t Au from 22m (Faugh-a-Ballagh)
-
GCP017 – 5.0m @ 70.5g/t Au from 9m (Golden Crown)
-
BGP045 – 6.0m @ 44.0g/t Au from 14m (Faugh-a-Ballagh)
-
BGP121 – 5.0m @ 23.0g/t Au from 81m (Golden Crown)
-
Butchers Creek offers immediate near mine drill targets as well as multiple high order drill targets to continue to build the resource base.
-
The WIN team is well advanced with plans to be drilling within the next 4-6 weeks. During July WIN completed field reconnaissance work as part of the due diligence process.

Location and Project History
Butchers Creek is located 30km south-east of Halls Creek in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. The project is accessible via the unsealed Duncan Road that connects the project to the town of Halls Creek and the sealed Great Northern Highway.
The Halls Creek region heralded Western Australia’s first gold rush in the 1890’s but has been largely limited to small scale mining and artisanal activities until the 1990’s.
In 1993 Precious Metals Australia (PMA) acquired the Project and carried out extensive drilling at Butchers Creek, completing geotechnical studies, metallurgical test work and mineral resource calculations.

Gold production from the Butchers Creek open pit commenced in 1995 with the construction of a 500ktpa conventional carbon in pulp gold ore processing plant, a 9Mt tails storage facility, diesel power station and a 75-person accommodation camp and offices (Figure 2).
During operation supplementary ore was trucked some 80kms from the Nicholson’s Find gold mine located to the south of Halls Creek (now owned by Pantoro Limited ASX:PNR) and processed at Butchers Creek. Total production from Butchers Creek open pit was 761,000t @ 2.09g/t Au for 52,000oz of gold[2] produced until the operation was closed in late 1997 due to the low gold price at the time. The Butchers Creek 500ktpa processing plant has since been decommissioned and mine site rehabilitated.
Post closure of the mining operation in 1997 various public and private entities having held the tenure with exploration drilling in the ensuing period carried out by Northern Star Resources in 2004 and Meteoric between 2020 and 2022.

Local Geology and Mineralisation of Butchers Creek
Gold mineralisation at Butchers Creek is generally stratabound within tightly folded hinge zones of a syenite intrusive host. The gold is strongly associated with potassic alteration and sulphide bearing quartz veins within the syenite host unit. During the mining of Butchers Creek, it was observed that several styles of quartz veining are present including saddle reefs, parallel bedding veins and flat lying extensional veins. The syenite is locally displaced within the open pit by cross cutting faults.

Current Mineral Resources
The global mineral resource for Butchers Creek is 5.6Mt at 2.0g/t Au for 357,000oz of gold within the Butchers Creek and Golden Crown deposits[1] . This is inclusive of 139,000oz of higher confidence indicated resource at Butchers Creek (see Table 1).
Meteoric published a Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for Butchers Creek in June 2021[1] whilst restating Northern Star Resources 2007[6] MRE for Golden Crown[1] in accordance with the 2012 JORC code. The Golden Crown MRE combines the Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh prospects due to their close proximity and similar geological features. Both Butchers Creek and Golden Crown deposits have been reported at a 0.8g/t Au cut-off.

Exploration Potential at Golden Crown
Located 6km north of Butchers Creek, Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh are high-grade gold deposits located within the same syenite unit separated by 600m of strike.
Both deposits have been drilled to a shallow depth of no more than 100m depth with limited drilling conducted between each deposit. Each remain open at depth and along strike as is highlighted in Northern Star Resources 2007 Mineral Resource Report[6] . This region has had little to no systematic exploration since 2007 with Meteoric gaining Programme of Work and Heritage approval to drill test both deposits in 2020. As part of WIN’s proposed 2024 field campaign drilling at Golden Crown and Faugh-aBallah is a priority.
WIN will target high-grade extensions of Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh as reported by MEI[2] in 2020 with exceptional results highlighted below and in Figure 8 and Figure 9.

Regional Exploration Potential
Regional gold exploration at Butchers Creek is highly prospective with over sixty (60) known gold occurrences presenting multiple walk-up drill targets. Figure 10 illustrates high order targets in close proximity to the Butchers Creek, Golden Crown and Faugh-a-Ballagh deposits.
Titan, Afghan and Mt Bradley prospects will be the focus of WIN’s first boots on ground exploration campaign with initial results from reconnaissance work carried out in July 2024 pending.

Figure 10 - High order exploration priorities proximal to Butcher Creek
Mt Bradley has multiple historic workings and was drilled by MEI in 2022[7] after a geophysical IP (Induced Polarisation) anomaly was detected in 2022[7] with follow up drilling returning 5m @ 19.7g/t Au from 9m (MBRC016)[8] . MBRC016 is located to the east of the Mt Bradley trend of workings. This is encouraging in that WIN have identified a lack of transported cover in the area suggesting the mineralisation intercepted in MBRC016 is insitu and thus potentially a new mineralised trend that has yet to be explored.
Titan is a high priority drill target with historic soil samples returning peak gold values of 2.30g/t, 1.92g/t and 1.48g/t as reported by Northern Star Resources in August 2004[9] . In addition, high grade gold results from soils at Afghan returned 2.99g/t, 2.90g/t and 1.81g/t Au were reported by Northern Star Resources in November 2004[10] .
These high-grade soil samples from Titan and Afghan (Figure 11) prospects will be the focus of 2024 field reconnaissance to understand the mineralised system before advancing to a potential drilling campaign.
