Western Gold Resources Awards Pre-Mining Contracts for Gold Duke Project

An update from Western Gold Resources Ltd. ( (AU:WGR) ) is now available.

Western Gold Resources has moved the Gold Duke Project into the execution phase by awarding pre-mining contracts to SSH Mining Australia and other contractors to begin clearing, grubbing and site establishment. The early works include developing open pits, waste dumps, haul roads, laydown areas and run-of-mine pads, as well as organising earthmoving equipment to support the transition into mining operations.

SSH Mining, together with LGIRS, has been appointed as Mine Operator under a turnkey solution, while Pennington Scott and Delta Consultancy & Drilling Services have been engaged to construct the Bower Bird Water Bore to secure water for mining and dust suppression. These steps advance operational readiness, materially de-risk the planned Q1 2026 mobilisation and production schedule, and align with Western Gold Resources’ capital-efficient development strategy and ongoing assessment of extending Gold Duke’s mine life.

The most recent analyst rating on (AU:WGR) stock is a Sell with a A$0.17 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Western Gold Resources Ltd. stock, see the AU:WGR Stock Forecast page.
