Western Mines Group (ASX:WMG) has commenced its 2026 exploration program at the Mulga Tank Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Project, located in Western Australia's Eastern Goldfields.
The company has mobilised its exploration team to the site, with drilling expected to continue through the first half of the year, supported by strong funding from a recent capital raise and multiple exploration incentive scheme grants.
Initial drilling will focus on completing outstanding Phase 4 holes, including an extension of deep diamond hole MTRC009 (EIS9) to confirm the footwall of the Mulga Tank Complex.
Nine reverse circulation holes will also be drilled to infill and expand the current mineral resource estimate, followed by a further seven RC holes targeting high-grade areas identified in hole MTRC066, which returned significant shallow nickel, cobalt, and copper mineralisation.
