Comment: I re-iterate that all DL's tweets are sent to [1] Wishbone Gold Plc on Twitter. [2] Chairman Richard Poulden & [3] Edward Mead, Director and by profession a Geologist. DL is officially the Consultant to WSBN. Like it or not, it is now got too much of attention as on THE Australian forum , even GGP is discussing WSBN as both co's are in the Paterson, W.Australia with WSBN being nearer to Telfer [13km away]. Too many people are now aware due to the WSBN RNS etc and even SP Angel is covering via ShareTalk. So, unless folks can stop Australians, Brits etc LoL, there is interest and no doubt PERTH Geo's are in the know as DL's tweets are now gone out. Just like the days of GGP and Havieron. DYOR.

WSBN RNS 's [plural] all stated : CHALCOPHYRITE which is copper. One can check online what chalcophyrite is.

I went onto to an Australian forum looking for Paterson geologists. On the forum, they were already discussing WSBN's 18.8.25 RNS and results. In the mix , they also said that WSBN won the licence in a ballot [para phrased] as other co's in the Paterson also want these licences. Who do you think is in the hub to be able to know all the ins and out of Australian licences. It is well known that Rio wanted the licences East of Havieron as well given they were booking licences all close to Havieron. Leni beat them to it by 1 hr and all this is common knowledge. So, do folks think that Poulden an investment banker is all the time mixing and has vast contacts in Australia to just pick up licences? Ah, it all revolves around Leni. So, if this turns out , then my thanks is to Leni.

Some thoughts: I have never seen any London listed co have GEOLOGISTS present [plural] when CORES are CUT and analysed for assays.

Wishbone Gold has no Resident Geologist as a permanent job but rather WSBN uses contractors to do the drilling. Yes, Ed Mead, Director and by profession a Geologist was present when they were initially setting up etc. So, who these GEOLOGISTS are, one can guess that they represent potential ..ahem since geologists is plural.

Leni going up to Wishbone Gold Red Setter with Ed Mead makes sense as well as Richard Poulden, Chairman of WSBN. Poulden resides in Dubai so has to fly out as well. I think that in normal convention even in the early days, they have to be PRESENT FOR THE PICTURE to be taken as well as for cores.

I have gone to the Greatland forum to buzz REDDIRT the Geo as he said Perth was buzzing with the Havieron news after the RNS. We need Perth news on the ground as its not a big place where Geo's hang out at. ANY AUSSIE here?

I still remember Reddirt [Aussie] from the time of the Greatland Havieron days especially when the Havieron cores arrived in PERTH, Western Australia [town where cores are sent to the lab from the Outback]. If you are still here or someone knows you, could you let Reddirt know, its that time again ie PERTH buzzing. Thanks. News, 21 Aug 2025. Greatland Havieron is in the Paterson, Western Australia [way outside of Perth town, Western Australia].

Just in: Thur, 21 Aug 2025 at 3:50pm [Post WSBN RNS today on Red Setter, Paterson, Western Australia @ Hole 1]: " Rock on PERTH trip @WishboneGoldPlc . Looking forward to seeing RED SETTER DRILL CORE. I may try to get up to the SITE as well WITH @edward_mead @RPoulden . Leaving Sunday for Perth. #WSBN #RED SETTER." Link: https://x.com/DavidLenigas/status/1958542350952567082

Comment: Look at the tweet carefully ie @WishboneGold plc and @ edward_mead @RPoulden. This means that Wishbone Gold Plc is made aware of the tweet and IF, not correct in any way, they can correct. Ed Mead is not present during the DRILLING at Red Setter throughout. Why? Because the contractors are doing the drilling etc. But in this case, DL may try to get up to the RED SETTER site with EDWARD MEAD and Richard Poulden or it can be R Poulden is informed via this tweet given Poulden is Chairman of Wishbone Gold plc and Ed Mead is Director. Either way. DYOR. The person that was not happy to know about WISHBONE GOLD on Twitter is from another forum ie an oil co.

Bogota: Nice. LoL.

The whole of the Perth watering holes must be buzzing. It did the last time relating to Greatland's Havieron cores from 1st drill of 5 holes. In fact, the Sprott outsourced Aussie Geo only went to the Greatland core shed AFTER the assay results. The Aussie Geo tweeted the pic as well inc a tweet. This time, it is most ..that GEOLOGISTS will be on HAND to see the WSBN RED SETTER CORES GET CUT & gathered at INCEPTION! Thur, 21.8.25 [Ref: DL's tweet of today at 1:46pm refers.]

P.S

For historical perspective, Greatland's 1st round of drilling at Havieron consisted of 5 holes only. After that Sprott sent a outsourced AUSTRALIAN GEOLOGIST to go to the Greatland Perth CORE SHED to examine the core from the 1st drill of 5 holes. The Aussie Geo held the HAD 05 to show on Twitter.

New Tweet: "Off to Australia on Sunday. Will be keen to see the drill CORE from Red Setter @Wishboneplc #WSBN next week and seeing it get cut

for special analysis and assay. There will be a FEW GEOLOGISTS THERE as well. Pretty excited about next week."-Thur, 21 Aug 2025 at 1:46pm.

Comment: As I said, Perth was where the "action" is since the lab is in Perth?. Last time, an Aussie was on the Greatland forum at the time of the 1st set of drill cores arrived in Perth.

For clarity: Greatland per the above thread title never drilled more than 2 phases of drilling at Havieron. 1st round was around 5 holes with HAD 05 the star with long intercepts. Then round 2 was also around 4-5 holes. AFTER THAT, it went quiet and suddenly NEWCREST JV'ed. After that, Greatland NEVER DID any drilling of their own at Havieron given it was all done by Newcrest via a free carry. SO, TOTAL HOLES AROUND 9 HOLES before JV.

WSBN had drilled 12 holes and I refer to WSBN's RNS of 13 Dec 2022 [12 pages] with results from Red Setter. The WSBN share chart show the price of 5.95p on 9 Dec 2022 & 4.55p on 16 Dec 2022. Then, came the COVID period and restructuring. On 22 June 2018, WSBN share price was 26.5p . I was not here at WSBN at the time of 2018 or 2022. So, others can fill us in.

Newcrest was active in Paterson, W.A. given they owned Telfer Gold Mine. Then, Newmont took Newcrest over and sold Telfer to Greatland Gold.

WYLOO [of Twiggy fame] bought into Greatland , now dual listed in Australia. Fortesque was active in the past in Paterson but now so much now. So, Rio , Wyloo [with Greatland] or IGO are now the more active in the Paterson, W.A.

Someone has posted the £600,000 trades on X and Casper said to look at Aquis where there is even more large trades. WSBN.PL on this site is for Asquis. Wed, 20 Aug 2025.

Yah, £600k trades now showing on Wed, 20 Aug 2025 after the WSBN RNS of 18 Aug 2025 etc.

Since WSBN RNS 18.8.25 [Mon], there has been NO picture today, Wed, 20 Aug 2025. A picture would be helpful to know if THEY HAVE THE FURTHER DRILL RODS to ___continue drilling at Hole 1, once 750m target HIT, presumably today___without STOPPAGE to await the rods. So, NO RNS or pic today.

So, I decided to look at the picture WSBN lastposted on Tues, 19 Aug 2025 at https://x.com/WishboneGoldPlc/status/195771813984012799 which stated with pic: "The Geology Crew out hunting for a potentially different route -------- I N T O------Red Setter- avoiding punctures as they go- AS THE DRILL PROGRAM is looking to gear up a NOTCH------------BECAUSE OF THE BRECCIA D I S C O V E R Y."

Comment: Further drilling beyond 750m at Red Setter is due to the Breccia Discovery as above ie gear up a notch. I note that the crew are looking to a new route I N T O Red Setter avoiding punctures . I think that the drill RODS BED TRUCK is heavy and may need better inroads to Red Setter. So, without NEW PICTURES TODAY, 20.8.25 , one assumes that the RODS arrived, otherwise, RNS NEEDED to say DRILLING STOPPAGE until RODS arrive kinda of thing.

In short, DRILLING IS CONTINUING AS PER WSBN RNS, 18.8.25???? Pardon typos.

It is of INTEREST to know asap whether DRILL RODS are onsite or arriving? Why? If drill rods [further lot] have arrived, then DRILLING CONTINUES as stated in the WSBN RNS of 18.8.25. Richard Poulden, Chairman of WSBN's top upper tweet is a retweet from David Lenigas showing the drill into the magnetic area and centre. IT GOES DOWN TO 1,000m but could EXTEND if end of hole analysis justifies as geology norm.

So, it is now to know what has happened to the drill rods ie waiting or has arrived.

WSBN Red Setter, Paterson, Western Australia, new TARGET DEPTH 750m per RNS of 18.8.25.

Should have reached 750m target depth TODAY, 20.8.25 depending on PERTH vs UK time difference.

NO PICTURES FROM WSBN or RNS = NO STOP.

Have the NEW DRILL RODS ARRIVED? Why? As DL said on X, the Hole 1 had DRILL RODS for 750m and now confirmed in RNS of 18.8.25.

SO, DRILLING CONTINUES OTHERWISE THERE HAS TO BE AN RNS TO SAY DRILLING HAS STOPPED AND RODS AWAITING type of thing. Wed, 20.8.25 Just a discussion until RNS. DYOR.

Answer: [1] WSBN Red Setter is 100% owned vs Greatland's Havieron 30% owned [70% JV with Newcrest].

[2] WSBN Red Setter, Paterson, W.A STRIKE 3km x 1/2km [per 2022 RNS and results etc] vs Greatland's Havieron around 1km STRIKE.

[3] WSBN Red Setter surface drilling done before and results given.

[4] WSBN Red Setter re-entering 2 HOLES to deepen from 300m to 550m initially, then 630m, now 750m and said not to stop per RNS 18.8.25.

[5] Per IGO JV with Encounter only 2 diamond holes drilled and 35 aircore. It is known aircore is much cheaper to drill etc.

Hope that helps. Also WSBN 100% vs Greatland 30% ownership for pro-rata cals.

The Request for Ed Mead's post on Linkedin on 18.8.25 [WSBN RNS, 18.8.25 relating to update on Red Setter, Western Australia.]

The source with thanks is to DL.

An X posted today, 4 hrs ago, 20.8.25 posted the screen shot. I can CONFIRM that I checked Linkedin for Ed Mead after DL posted the link as said. The screen shot is via https://x.com/AfzalValli/status/1958106273011912947 CLARITY: Check WSBN RNS of 18.8.25 above and what Ed Mead said in the last para of the 18.8.25 RNS.

"Wishbone Gold unveils Significant Breccia D I S C O V E R Y at Red Setter project."-Tipranks, 18.8.25 https://www.tipranks.com/news/company-announcements/wishbone-gold-unveils-significant-breccia-discovery-at-red-setter-project

Quote: "Wishbone announced a SIGNIFICANT D I S C O V E R Y at its Red Setter Gold Dome Project in Western Australia, where drilling has intersected ___130 metres of breccia with sulphides.__. This D I S C O V E R Y located near the Telfer gold mine, is expected to enhance the co's EXPLORATION PROSPECTS & potentially_____INCREASE ITS MARKET V A L U E. "

"The ongoing drilling program aims to further access the E X T E N T of this __MINERALISED Z O N E__, with plans to EXPEDITE core transport for analysis. This development could strengthen Wishbone Gold's position IN THE MINING SECTOR.

My Comment: Breaking it down to ordinary parlance, it means that it could RE-RATE aka "potentially increase its MARKET VALUE." With 130 metres of breccia sulphides announced on 18.8.25, FURTHER DRILLING means potential for FURTHER mineralisation in the "mineralised zone" & cores sent for analysis aka "this development could strengthen Wishbone's POSITION IN THE MINING SECTOR". Note that the word: "SIGNIFICANT D I S C O V E R Y " is used . Google AI defines "DISCOVERY" as : In mining exploration, a D I S C O V E R Y is the INITIAL SUCCESSFUL DETECTION of a mineral DEPOSIT that suggests the potential for economically recoverable mineralisation. This success marks the culmination of GEOLOGICAL, geochemistry and geophysical surveys, indicating a TARGETED area contains an ore DEPOSIT of sufficient CONCENTRATION & quality to warrant FURTHER, more detailed investigation to define its size, shape & economic viability for future mining."

On a last note, Greatland's Havieron drilled 5 HOLES in its 1st drill program [new] and Hole 5 was the star with its long intersection etc. Gervaise Heddle said he got calls from the mining industry. Then, another further 2nd drill program was done with some 4-5 holes from recall but they were not as good as Hole 5. The rest is HISTORY. Why? It went a bit quiet and suddenly Greatland announced a JV with Newcrest giving Newcrest a potential to earn 70% in Havieron. This is the stages where it later HIT £1.3BN MARKET CAP DESPITE ONLY HAVING 30% INTEREST LEFT in Havieron. I am mentioning this as this is something that will be discussed but Greatland has been the typical example at Paterson, hence why TIPRANKS mentioned : "THIS DISCOVERY is EXPECTED TO ENHANCE THE CO'S EXPLORATION PROSPECTS and POTENTIALLY INCREASE ITS MARKET VALUE - This development could STRENGHTEN WISHBONE's POSITION IN THE MINING SECTOR." Yes, its a well travelled road since Greatland Havieron so breaking down the context? Sorry for caps as want to highlight the operative words. This site doesnt have darkened print and also it is late so just have to type fast with no edits etc. DYOR.

Richard Poulden, Chairman of Wishbone RE-TWEETED on 18 Aug 2025 [Post the WSBN RNS, 18.8.25]:

"Share_Talk on X: WSBN: 0.66pm +76.08%, 18 Aug 2025 @09:57 - Everyone loves a good BRECCIA PIPE, and of course WSBN has been riding high in terms of BEING SEEN as a possible SUCCESSOR to the RECENT GLORIES achieved at GREATLAND GOLD." and Embedded are the picture of the WSBN Red Setter, Paterson, Western Australian CORES from Hole 1 [deepening hole]. Another Share_Talk tweet, also of 18 Aug 2025 also embedded: "Wishbone Gold plc : SIGNIFICANT BECCIA PIPE intersected in Western Australia.

Comment: Richard Poulden was an FOUNDER, Chairman & Deputy Chairman of Sirius Minerals UK listed and took it from £1m or under £2m to over £200m. From other external data, Sirius Minerals HIT over £700 MILLION and was admitted to the FTSE 250 at the time. Anglo American took over Sirius Minerals plc at £380m but this was not due to Poulden. Mr Poulden qualified as a barrister from Oxford University & later worked at Samuel Montagu in investment banking. He also has an MBA from the London School of Economics and also Harvard Business School [exchange program.]
