Shares of AIM-listed Wishbone Gold (AIM: WSBN) have rallied after the company announced it has signed an exclusive 45-day option to acquire a 100% ownership of 67 square kilometres in the Patersons Range Region.
The range is based in Western Australia as has been the site of some important gold and copper mine discoveries in recent years.
“The best acreage is tightly held and thus to secure a deal on these assets is a very significant development for Wishbone. As previously advised, Wishbone already has advanced exploration assets in Australia and therefore has the necessary geological consultants in place to progress all exploration programmes,” said Richard Poulden, Chairman of Wishbone.
