The company said the silver potential at the Cottesloe Project is “exceptional” and more than doubles its exposure in the Patersons’ gold-rich province, increasing Wishbone’s tenement holding to 159 km2 from 67 km2.
According to Wishbone, Cottesloe consists of one granted exploration license E45/4543 and is considered highly prospective for precious and base metals.
“The silver potential is exceptional here at Cottesloe,” stated Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold’s Chairman.
“We see the potential for Cottesloe to host both precious metals and base metals as very high, based on historic data available through the Western Australian Government archives,” added Poulden.
Early in the Tuesday session, Wishbone’s share price reached a high of 15.5p. It is currently trading at 14.5p, up 5.09%.
