Western Gold Resources Limited announced that it is commencing a ground based MLEM survey. The survey aims to delineate drilling targets associated with 2 nickel-platinum-palladium soil anomalies (Big Z's and Duran's) identified by the soil sampling program within the Joyners Find Greenstone Belt at WGR's Gold Duke project. The Joyners Find Greenstone Belt is located adjacent to the 2.7 Ga Agnew-Wiluna Greenstone Belt which contains numerous komatiite-hosted Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, including two of the worlds' largest known komatiite-hosted ore deposits at Mount Keith and Perseverance, for an inventory for the belt of >10 mt of contained Ni.

WGR completed a program of UFF soil sampling over much of the interpreted mafic/ultramafic sequence in the central part of the tenement package on a 200 x25m grid, with infill 100m by 25m lines. The Big Z's and Duran targets are to be tested by MLEM survey consisting of 200x200m loops with 100m stations along lines that are 600m in length. Southern Geoscience Consultants are currently mobilizing to site and WGR expects results and interpretation in early December 2022.
