Red Setter Gold Dome pre-drill site visit completed with positive findings

13km from Telfer Gold Mine Dome Western Australia

- The pads and collars of the key drill holes are in good condition allowing low cost re-entry

- Shallow water table identified will enable cheaper pump utilisation

- Access tracks only need minor work saving costs and time, with no heritage surveys

Wishbone Gold Plc (London AIM & Aquis: WSBN) is pleased to announce that Apex Geoscience Consultants ("Apex"), who are now managing the day-to-day on the ground exploration and upcoming drilling program at the Red Setter Dome, confirmed that the key drill holes at Red Setter which are to be deepened in order to test the main gold target at depth appear to be in good order for the proposed drill program. This confirmation follows an on-site pre-drill site visit by Apex last week.

The Red Setter Dome is located 13 kilometres (Figure 1) to the southwest of the +15Moz Telfer Gold Mine in Western Australia.

The site visit by helicopter, viewed the drill pads and collar conditions for two drill holes which are to be extended, and found them to be in good condition, which will allow for a cheap re-entry to the holes to deepen them with conventional diamond drilling tails to the 550m target depth into the hinge of the Dome. It was also observed that the water table was estimated at only 15m depth, which will allow for a shallow-set submersible pump to generate water for drilling. A loader will be required for access track maintenance and clean out of drill site sumps prior to drilling activities.

Apex, whose regional centre is in Perth, W.A., have started preparation and logistics for the planned extension of the two drill holes into the main undrilled gold target at the Red Setter Dome that was identified by Expert Geophysics Limited in September 2024, and revalidated by Perth-based Southern Geoscience in April 2025.

Highlights as released on the 25th April 2025 and Update:

· The main Red Setter Dome target is interpreted to sit at a depth of around 550m.

· Previous reverse circulation ("RC") drill holes across the Red Setter Dome only reached depths of circa 250-300m and now determined that they were not drilled deep enough to test the main target.

· Two key drillholes (23RSRC001 and 003A, Figure 2 and 3) are now planned to be extended using conventional diamond drill tails from the bottom of the existing RC holes.

· The drill pads from the previous RC drill holes and access tracks require minor siteworks and maintenance, which will save cost and time, with no heritage surveys.

· Analysis by Expert Geophysics Limited highlights that the Red Setter Dome has strong similarities to the Telfer dome, which hosts the +15Moz Telfer Gold Mine now owned by Greatland Gold Plc (LSE: GGP).

· Previous Wishbone drilling only targeted a minor magnetic feature to the north of the main Red Setter Dome target but still intersected significant gold and copper mineralisation including:

o  5m at 1.2g/t Au and 0.002% Cu from 319m (WRSDD0015), and

o  7m at 2g/t Au and 0.38% Cu from 273m (WRSDD0008)

· These results are still significant and require further follow-up as they have similar characteristics to the nearby Telfer Gold Mine, where GGP recently reported a Mineral Resource Estimate of 154Mt @ 0.64g/t gold and 0.08% copper for 3.2Moz Au and 117kt Cu (GGP RNS 18/03/25)

Richard Poulden, Wishbone Gold's Chairman, commented:

"It is great to get the site trip completed by Apex Geoscience, which paves the way for site works and finalising of the drilling contractor and the start date for drilling. Finding the collars in good condition with the water table at 15 metres, means we are easily able to re-enter the existing 2 RC drillholes to deepen them with diamond drill tails. The fact that the hole collars at surface are also in good condition means we will save time, money and avoid further heritage surveys for this drill program. The drilling of these deeper holes into the main Red Setter Dome gold target at 550m depth is a priority for the Company and I look forward to updating shareholders on the timing for start of drilling in the very near future."
