Highlights

WA Gold focuses on 100%-owned gold projects within Western Australia.
Its Abercromby Capital deposit hosts a reported 518,000-ounce gold Mineral Resource.
Resource development drilling commenced at Abercromby in August 2026.
Bullabulling represents a separate exploration area within the company’s project portfolio.

WA Gold Limited explores and develops wholly owned gold Assets in Western Australia, with the Abercromby Gold Project forming the main resource-development focus. The company’s 2026 work has included drilling at Abercromby and exploration targeting at Bullabulling, while it continues to assess opportunities elsewhere in its portfolio. WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) is working to improve geological understanding and resource confidence, and the reported work should not be confused with an approved Mining operation.

Capital Deposit and Resource Development

WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) identifies Abercromby as a gold project in the Agnew–Wiluna Greenstone Belt. The Capital deposit hosts a reported Mineral Resource of 11.1 million tonnes grading 1.45 grams per tonne gold, equivalent to 518,000 ounces. The resource is located on two granted mining leases, according to the company’s project description.

The deposit is interpreted as a structurally controlled gold system with several mineralised lodes. WA Gold’s project information identifies higher-grade zones within the broader resource and indicates that mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth. This interpretation supports the rationale for additional drilling but does not itself establish that future drilling will add resources.

WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) reported in August 2026 that resource development drilling had commenced at Abercromby. A separate August company update addressed continuity of high-grade gold mineralisation. The information from drilling contributes to geological interpretation and may support changes to the resource model once results are evaluated under the relevant reporting standards.

Bullabulling and the Regional Exploration Pipeline

Bullabulling is a second component of the company’s Western Australian gold portfolio. WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) describes the project as being in the Coolgardie region, approximately 70 kilometres from Kalgoorlie, with roads and other regional infrastructure nearby. The company’s ground covers areas along a gold-bearing belt, including targets described as Bullabulling North, West and East.

In July 2026 the company commenced drilling at Bullabulling. Its August announcement described gold anomalism that helped define areas for follow-up work. These developments concern exploration target assessment and should be distinguished from the measured resource position at Abercromby.

Beyond Abercromby and Bullabulling, the company names Invincible and South Boddington among its project interests. WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) can assess different targets across the portfolio, but resource estimates and technical findings for one project do not automatically apply to another.

Processing Studies and Development Uncertainty

Company information states that metallurgical test work at the Capital deposit has identified free-milling gold with recovery through conventional carbon-in-leach methods. This provides technical context for evaluating processing options, although laboratory results are not the same as a final engineering design or commercial plant performance.

Project advancement requires work on mining methods, processing design, environmental obligations, approvals, funding and potential infrastructure arrangements. Regional access to facilities can be relevant to these assessments, but it does not establish a commercial processing agreement or an economic outcome.

WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) is exposed to geological uncertainty and the financial demands of resource development. Drilling may alter the interpretation of mineralisation, while development studies can identify additional costs or technical constraints. Consequently, resource size should not be treated as a production forecast.

Key Insights

WA Gold Limited (ASX:WAU) has a defined gold resource at Abercromby and a separate exploration pipeline that includes Bullabulling. Its 2026 drilling programmes help frame resource-growth and technical questions, but the findings remain subject to assessment. Development decisions require evidence beyond the existence of a mineral resource or positive exploration indicators.
