Fosterville expects the acquisition of the PNG land package, which includes both early-stage and advanced-stage exploration targets, to complement its extensive gold land package in Australia.

WDR CEO Alan Martin said: “WDR has assembled a commanding land position within the heart of one of the world’s best regions for gold and copper exploration.

“Through this transaction with FSX, we are emerging as a company with a very strong cash position to deploy on the ground and a team with a track record of success in PNG within a superb share structure.

“Current WDR shareholders become large shareholders of the combined entity and we look forward to working together within this well-funded entity to unlock the potential of the assets, exploring for Tier 1 Copper-Gold deposits in PNG.”
