An announcement from West Wits Mining Limited ( (AU:WWI) ) is now available.

West Wits Mining has announced a 44% increase in the JORC (2012) Mineral Resource Estimate for its Witwatersrand Basin Project to 7.24 million ounces at an average grade of 4.0 grams per tonne, with 4 million ounces now in the Measured and Indicated categories. The upgrade is driven by the grant of a new prospecting right (PR 10839), which adds 1.2 million ounces and provides a seamless depth extension to the Qala Shallows mine, as well as by a lower cut-off grade that brings an additional 1 million ounces into the resource, reflecting higher gold price assumptions. Management says the larger, high-grade resource base enhances the project’s scale, mine-life potential and planning flexibility, while a recently completed institutional placement has strengthened the balance sheet to fully fund Qala Shallows’ build-out to 70,000 ounces per year steady-state production, with first gold targeted for March 2026.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WWI) stock is a Sell with a A$0.09 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on West Wits Mining Limited stock, see the AU:WWI Stock Forecast page.
