The company recovered 10,671 ounces of gold in the December quarter.

The company has a 25% stake alongside Tyranna’s 75% share in the Jumbuck joint venture in South Australia.

Importantly, the large-scale 9,726 square kilometre Jumbuck project surround’s WPG’s 100% owned Challenger gold mine operation.

Jumbuck could feed the Challenger mill in the future

The target for the Jumbuck Gold Project is 500,000 ounces of JORC-compliant gold resources.

Work will continue at several prospective targets this year to build on the current 219,000 ounces of JORC-compliant resources.
