Wiluna Mining Corporation has boosted its global ore reserves by 10 per cent, even after mining depletion, to 36.8 million tonnes grading 1.2 grams per tonne gold for 1.42 million ounces of gold at its namesake WA operation. The company posted an impressive 31 per cent increase in underground ore reserves to 861,900 ounces grading 4.11 g/t gold as it looks to focus on optimising Stage 1 development.

ASX-listed Wiluna Mining is ticking off milestones after confirming the first shipment of gold concentrate to its two off-take partners, Polymetal International and Trafigura. The company says the maiden supply forms part of an ongoing delivery that could significantly spike its revenue and assist in financing its transition towards becoming a top tier gold producer.

Perth-based gold-miner Wiluna Mining is ringing in the new year with the successful commissioning of the sulphide ore concentrate plant at its namesake project in WA. As part of its major production ramp-up plan the company is looking to treat 750,000tpa through the plant as it targets 90,000-100,000ozpa of gold in concentrate production by the end of the 2022 financial year.

Wiluna Mining has pumped out a solid 12 months of gold production at its Wiluna operation in WA's north-eastern Goldfields with the performance complemented by a cracking average price on gold sales. The company reported June quarter production of 12,524oz from Wiluna at all-in sustaining costs averaging an impressive $1,371/oz, taking the full financial year production total to 51,552oz at average all-in sustaining costs of $1,794/oz.

Wiluna Mining's development program over its namesake WA operation continues to come up trumps with reserve drilling across the Happy Jack deposit returning 1.78 metres grading a stunning 66.74 grams per tonne. Meanwhile drilling at East Lode has turned up intercepts of 13.12m at 6.89 g/t and 6.85m at 7.72 g/t gold, underlining the lucrative nature of the deeper sulphide mineralisation.

Wiluna Mining Corporation has wrapped up its US$42 million term loan from commodity trader Mercuria and says stage one sulphide gold expansion to more than 120,000 ounces per annum and feasibility study work on its next phase of growth are now fully funded. The FS on lifting annual output at Wiluna in WA past 240,000 ounces is expected to be completed this year.

Wiluna Mining Corporation is poised to build the production platform that will position it to become one of Australia's next significant gold mining companies after closing a A$93 million equity and debt funding deal to initially catapult its annual production rate from 60,000 ounces of gold to 120,000 ounces over the next 12 months. The company continues to see strong institutional support for its big-picture Wiluna growth blueprint.

Wiluna Mining Corporation is now cashed up to complete the first phase of its sulphide expansion program, with the WA gold producer finalising US$42 million of credit from multi-national commodity trader, Mercuria. The loan will be used to finalise construction of the Phase 1 sulphide plant that will lift Wiluna's production profile to more than 120,000 ounces of gold per annum.

Wiluna Mining Corporation's expansion program in WA looks to be on-track, with the new sulphide processing circuit now under construction whilst new mine development and exploration continues apace. The company has completed a frenetic quarter that saw it push the button on the Stage 1 development program, which will likely see Wiluna double its gold production in the year ahead.

Wiluna Mining is edging closer to executing its expansion plans at its Wiluna mine. Firm commitments to raise $7.5m have been received as major shareholders and Wiluna's Executive Chairman, Milan Jerkovic, line up to plough in another $14m. The money will be used to lift the mine's production to 120,000 ounces of gold a year and study the potential for it to move to 250,000 ounces per annum.

Wiluna Mining Corporation's ongoing drilling campaign has delivered a massive 142 per cent increase in the contained gold within company's mineable underground ore reserves. Development drilling has rapidly built the Wiluna's underground inventory across the site, which now tips the scales at 4.33 million tonnes at 4.74 grams per tonne for over 660,000 ounces of gold.

Things are hotting up for WA gold producer, Wiluna Mining. The company has entered a five-year alliance with internationally renowned underground mining contractor, Byrnecut Australia to ramp-up gold production at the Wiluna project in WA. A three-year development plan to reach 250 thousand ounces per-annum is about to spring to life, with the construction of a flotation facility set to begin next month.

Wiluna Mining's development strategy across its multi-million-ounce gold operation in WA is continuing to pay dividends, with drilling at Golden Age producing a bag of high-grade intercepts, running as high as 47 grams per tonne gold, whilst the nearby discoveries at Starlight and Essex begin to take shape.

Wiluna Mining continues to hit paydirt, with the most recent results from drilling across its namesake operation in WA delivering a multitude of gold-rich intercepts including 34 metres at 4.88 grams per tonne gold and 13.37m at 7.03 g/t gold. The sampling of historic drill core has also turned up some intriguing results including intercepts grading over 10 g/t gold.

Wiluna Mining Corporation has posted a bumper resource upgrade with the company's ongoing drilling campaign having now defined a colossal global resource of more than 8 million ounces of gold. This wealth of mineralisation extends over the entire Wiluna field, from the Matilda deposits in the south through to Galaxy in the north and also hosts a higher-grade core of mineralisation that tips the scales at an impressive 4.24 million ounces, averaging 4.89 g/t gold.

Wiluna Mining Corporation has penned another page in its comeback story as management's turnaround strategy appears to take hold. With high-grade, wide intersection gold strikes continuing to roll off the bit, headlined by a 37.52m intersection at 10.77g/t, the company is enjoying a renaissance built on a trifecta of steadily increasing cash flows, rising production and reduced operating costs.

Wiluna Mining Corporation is ramping up production and pushing its unit operating costs down at the Wiluna Gold project. The company poured 13,360 ounces of gold during the September quarter, delivering monthly operating cash flows of around $4m. The production figures represent an 18 per cent uplift on the June quarter gold production and a welcome upwards trajectory for the once troubled project.

Wiluna Mining Corporation has given the green light on the expansion of processing operations at its world-class gold mine and is poised to increase production to more than 100,000 ounces of gold per annum. The increase will flow from the construction of new sulphide concentrator at the operation to produce a second product stream for sale into the growing global gold-in-concentrate market.

ASX-listed gold producer, Wiluna Mining, has increased the total resource base for the main Wiluna Mining Centre, or “WMC” at its historic Wiluna project in WA by nine per cent to 5.1 million ounces of contained gold – from 52.98 million tonnes of ore going 3 grams per tonne gold. With a global resource of 7.3Moz, Wiluna is now the seventh largest gold district in Australia.

ASX-listed emerging gold producer, Wiluna Mining, is on the verge of delivering a global mineral resource upgrade for its historic Wiluna project in WA's north-eastern Goldfields, as further high-grade gold hits continue to underpin its low-CAPEX pathway towards gold production expansion later next year.

Wiluna Mining continues full steam ahead in the expansion of its namesake operation in WA with the world-class gold deposit continuing to produce outstanding results from underground development drilling which has returned 5.96m at 112.98 g/t gold including 0.65m at an incredible 880 g/t gold. The company is poised to deliver more good news in coming weeks with an updated resource set to be tabled before the end of the month.

Wiluna Mining looks set to bank more than $110 million over the next 12 months after it secured a $21 million drawdown facility repayable in gold and hedged a further $90.9 million of gold at near record prices. The nine-figure windfall comes at an opportune time for the company as it begins the expansion of the Wiluna processing plant and gears up for an innovative transition into sulphide concentrate production.

Emerging gold developer, Wiluna Mining, is on course to deliver an updated mineral resource at its historic Wiluna project by September and a new reserves statement by the end of the year as it advances towards fulfilling its stage one expansion plans to become a 120,000-ounce-a-year producer in WA's Goldfields region.

Wiluna Mining is continuing to deliver strong results from its namesake project located in the north-eastern Goldfields of Western Australia. The Golden Age deposit and adjacent Lennon Zone are both looking likely to supplement the company's free milling ore pipeline, with the newly identified material set to improve cash flow for the coming 15 months and assist the company in funding its transition to stage two sulphide ore production.

With a combined gold ore reserve of some 1.4 million ounces grading 1.7 grams per tonne and a total resource of 93.2Mt grading a solid 2.13g/t for around 6.4m ounces, Wiluna Mining is having no trouble finding even more gold – all within the shadow of the old headframe. The company's exceptional recent results coincide with its recent rebrand from Blackham Resources to Wiluna Mining.

Blackham Resources' Golden Age gold deposit at Wiluna is living up to its name, delivering some outstanding high-grade drill results. Underground drilling of the reef continues to produce impressive intercepts including 1.8 metres at 39.68 g/t gold, 2.6 metres at 21.74 g/t and 2.7 metres at 17.32 g/t gold. The company is getting set to deliver on its staged upgrade to start mining the sulphides.

Blackham Resources' expansion strategy at its Wiluna Mining Centre is looking the goods with its latest drill campaign throwing up some exceptional grades from shallow depths. Best numbers include 14.45 metres at 17.16 g/t gold and 6 metres at 53.73 g/t gold that included a 1m intersection going an impressive 9 ounces to the tonne gold.

Blackham Resources is poised to extend the mine life of its Golden Age underground mine after making further high grade intercepts of up to 6.9m at 15.5 g/t gold below current mining areas. The results also highlight the potential to increase the mining rate through early access via the nearby Calais Decline.

The historic Wiluna gold project never fails to surprise the market with the latest drilling by Blackham Resources uncovering multiple extensions of high-grade shallow mineralisation right on the doorstep of the rejuvenated mill. The company said it was working on another upgrade of resources and reserves after a string of gold hits, including 16m at 4.41 g/t from just 2m below the surface.

In basketball terms it's called a slam dunk. Blackham Resources has confirmed a stunning turnaround at the Matilda gold project with gold production climbing to a record of 6,713 ounces in February, while all in sustaining costs were slashed to just A$912 an ounce. Milled grades and gold production are expected to continue to improve with stockpiled ore grades going 1.7 g/t gold.

Blackham Resources shareholders have thrown their collective weight behind a $36m entitlement issue, taking up 87% of the offer in a strong show of support after a dramatic turnaround at the Matilda-Wiluna gold project. The high take up by existing shareholders follows some stunning operational results in January, including record monthly gold production, and record-low all in sustaining costs.

Blackham Resources' shares have soared after the company delivered on a promised turnaround at the Matilda-Wiluna gold project in January, with record monthly gold production and record low costs taking it well into the black. The company is on track to reach its target of 80,000-90,000oz in calendar 2018 and is now in danger of spitting out nearly $40m in free cash in a year..

After a difficult 2017, Blackham Resources has turned around mining activity at its 100%-owned Wiluna gold project. A strong lift in ounces mined in January continued the positive trend begun late last year and the company expects strong operational cash flows through 2018. Blackham also enters the new year with a strong balance sheet thanks to a fully underwritten capital raising of $36 million that will see it convert resources to reserves.

Blackham Resources has reloaded its armoury with a $14.3million loan to as part of a recapitalisation strategy aimed at taking the company into profitability from its Wiluna Gold project. The junior miner has shored up its balance sheet with news that some of its financiers and primary contractors will underwrite 36% of a forthcoming $36m rights issue aimed at putting the company on a sound financial footing with cash flow positivity achieved for the first time in December.

After experiencing frightening stripping ratios in 2017 at the Wiluna Gold project, Blackham Resources now appear to have unearthed enough high-grade ore to produce a solid 2018. The company mined almost as much gold in the last month of 2018 as the entire September quarter and is building high-grade stockpiles for the first time in almost a year.
