RADIO GOLD PROJECT- MINE DEVELOPMENT
AND CLOSURE PLAN APPROVED
WIN Metals Ltd (ASX: WIN) (WIN or the Company) is pleased to announce that the Department of
Mines, Petroleum and Exploration (DMPE) has approved the Mine Development and Closure Plan
(MDCP) for the Radio Gold Project (the Project).
The Company’s Re-Start Study (Study), announced to the ASX on 24 August 20261
, outlined a low-
capital pathway to gold production through an integrated open-pit and underground operation
feeding a dedicated 120ktpa carbon-in-leach (CIL) processing plant.
The Project is located approximately 8km north-west of Bullfinch in Western Australia.
Highlights and Project Progress
• The approved MDCP covers development of a new open pit, recommencement of
underground development and production, a lift on the existing tailings storage facility
(TSF2), and operation of a processing plant and associated infrastructure
• New Explosives Magazine Dangerous Goods license approved
• Yilgarn Shire Development Approval for the Camp for up to 44 rooms behind the Tavern in
Bullfinch received on 17 August 2026. Building Approval and Department of Water (DOW)
approval for associated wastewater treatment plant remains pending. The existing Tavern
is fully operational and currently accommodates up to 12 people
• WIN submitted a Works Approval application on 18 September 20262
for the Processing
Plant Construction and Tailings Dam Lift to the Department of Water and Environmental
Regulation (DWER). The application remains under assessment
• Equipment procurement and detailed implementation planning ongoing for final investment
decision (FID)
• Gravity Plant Acquisition and Relocation to commence Monday the 16 of November. (ASX
announcement dated 18 June 20263
)
• 3,500m RC Drilling Program at Radio, Princess Royal and Stumpy is scheduled to
commence 20 November 2026

Managing Direct and CEO, Mr Steve Norregaard commented:
“Approval of the Mine Development and Closure Plan heralds an important step in derisking the
restart strategy for the Project. With ongoing funding discussions, site prepatory works and detailed
technical planning for execution on foot the company is well poised for a successful
recommissioning in the New Year. Works approval now becomes the remaining regulatory hurdle
prior to process plant and tailings dam construction activities commencing.
I’d like to thank our various consultants who helped prepare the plan and supported us through this
important body of work."

About WIN Metals
WIN Metals Limited (ASX: WIN) is an Australian mineral exploration company with a portfolio of
quality gold, nickel, and lithium assets across approximately 350 km² of granted tenure in the
Southern Goldfields and Kimberley regions of Western Australia.
The Mt Edwards Nickel and Faraday Critical Minerals Projects are located near Widgiemooltha,
approximately 80 km south of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and 30 km south of Kambalda.
• The Mt Edwards Nickel Project is a collection of ten (10) nickel deposits with a combined
mineral resource of 12.33 Mt @ 1.43% Ni for 174,540 t of contained nickel4
.
• The Faraday Critical Minerals Project hosts a reported mineral resource of 5.8 Mt at 0.12%
Rb2O & 0.3% Li2O for 6,950t Rb2O & 17,200t Li2O5
.
In the Kimberley region, the Butchers Creek Gold Project lies 30 km southeast of Halls Creek. The
project is centred on a historic gold production area and hosts a global Mineral Resource of 5.6 Mt
@ 1.98 g/t Au for 359,000 ounces6
of gold. Historical mining between 1995 and 1997 produced
approximately 52,000 ounces.
The Radio Gold Project, located 8 km north of Bullfinch and approximately 38 km northwest of
Southern Cross, is another cornerstone asset within WIN’s portfolio. Over its mine life, Radio
produced roughly 71,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 38 g/t Au. WIN’s 2026 global Mineral
Resource Estimate for the Project totals 366,000t @ 4.22 g/t Au for 49,6007
ounces of contained
gold.
