Managing Director, Mark English, said: “We now have greater control over our destiny for open pit gold mining at the Munda Gold Project. “Buying the nickel and lithium rights from WIN Metals down to the 235m RL (which is approximately 150m below surface) and having sole rights to an agreed area means we have now taken another major step forward to commencing a trial pit at Munda. “There’s not much water around Widgiemooltha, so as part of this transaction we are acquiring access to stored water in the 132 North pit from WIN, removing a significant obstacle for us. “WIN Metals has been pragmatic about the negotiation. We have reached a highly satisfactory agreement for Auric shareholders. page | 1 +61 8 9548 9997 | info@auricmining.com.au | Level 1, 1 Tully Road, East Perth, WA 6004 | www.auricmining.com.au ASX Announcement 23 July 2024 Auric Mining Limited (ACN 635 470 843) “We’ve moved Munda along rapidly this year and this hurdle has been removed.
