Gold Duke Expansion Study Underway as Heritage Consultations Continue

Western Gold Resources (ASX:WGR) has commenced an expanded Scoping Study for its Gold Duke Project in Western Australia, while consultations with Traditional Owners continue.

The company aims to release results by September quarter and is targeting updated estimates based on the December 2025 mineral resource estimate, revised geological models, current mining and processing costs, and updated gold price assumptions.

The study will assess potential life-of-mine extensions around key areas including Emu, Eagle, Gold King South, Golden Monarch, Joyners Find, and Comedy King, as well as opportunities identified from historical exploration and the company's geological database.
