Land Access Agreement signed with Martu Native Title Holders covering all current Wishbone properties in Western Australia
Wishbone Gold Plc is pleased to announce the signing of the crucial Land Access Agreement with the Western Desert Lands Aboriginal Corporation (Jamukurnu-Yapalikunu) ("WDLAC") acting on behalf of the Martu People.
Wishbone has a group of highly prospective properties in the Patterson Ranges area: the Red Setter project located 13 km south-west of Newcrest Mining's Telfer Gold-Copper mine, two smaller tenements to the east of Red Setter (the Golden Retriever and Short-Haired Pointer projects both of which are located between Telfer and Havieron) and the Cottesloe Project, located 55 km south-west of the Telfer Gold Mine and about 35 km south-east of Red Setter.
This agreement covers all of these properties and allows the Company to move forward with a Heritage Survey to establish and verify if there are any aboriginal sites of cultural significance on the properties. Following this we can finalise the access for the drilling programs with WDLAC, which have already been approved by the Western Australian Government's Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety ("DMIRS").
Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman, commented:
"The signing of this milestone agreement is a big step forward for our plans to drill Red Setter and Cottesloe as soon as we can. We look forward to working with the Martu People and WDLAC in exploring this recently discovered and highly prospective region."
