Company Update

West Wits Mining Limited (“West Wits” or “the Company”) continues to make progress at its Derewo River Gold Project (“Derewo”), Papua Province, Indonesia.

West Wits’ has now established a permanent presence at the alluvial site. Vin Savage, a director of the Company, has recently made a further visit to the alluvial site in conjunction with the Company’s local and exploration personnel. Ongoing engagement with the local indigenous population is a key part of the Company’s socialisation program which is progressing well.

As previously highlighted the Company’s priority is to construct an airstrip to support the alluvial site. Currently there are three surveyors on site and requisite support staff surveying both the airstrip and access roads between the airstrip, camp and initial alluvial operations. Following that work a survey for the water supply infrastructure and storage facilities supporting the initial alluvial circuit will be completed. All of these surveys are contracted to be completed within 30 days.

An operator engaged for the earth moving equipment has arrived on site. Mechanics are also now servicing the machinery which will allow construction of the access roads to be undertaken concurrently with the completion of the surveys.
