WIDGIE SET FOR A BIG 2022 AFTER HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING2021 is drawing to a close, and the end of the year will also mark Widgie Nickel’s 100th day as an ASX listed company, after its successful capital raise and demerger from Neometals. Widgie will reach the century with some key milestones already under its belt at its wholly owned flagship Mt Edwards nickel project in Western Australia. Coinciding with our first day of ASX trading, the assay results from drilling carried out at Widgie’s Munda deposit by Auric Mining revealed high-grade nickel mineralisation, including an intercept of 24m @ 3.22% Ni, and the presence of potentially important by-product credits, such as copper and platinum group elements. What made the significant result even more encouraging is that the drilling undertaken by Auric was actually targeting gold mineralisation. We continued this positive momentum in November as we kicked off our maiden drilling program at Mt Edwards. The drilling campaign will enable Widgie to fully realise the potential of Mt Edwards. For example, at the Gillett West deposit Widgie has potentially identified another zone of mineralisation in very close proximity to existing Mineral Resources. With only a small number of historical holes identified on Gillett West, covering 250m of strike at shallow depths, the maiden drilling campaign has a strong potential to deliver substantial additional value. As we head into 2022 I’m happy to inform you that the drilling campaign is proceeding very well and we anticipate some more positive news on the horizon. We remain on track to achieve our core objective of being production ready by the end of 2023. Most importantly - I would like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy festive season!
