Unaudited Interim Results

Chairman's Statement

Wishbone Gold Plc has pleasure in announcing its interim results for the period ended 30 June 2022. Shareholders are reminded that these results are unaudited and based on the Company's management accounts.

General Background

We continued our expansion into Western Australia with the acquisition of the Cottesloe EPM in March 2021. This expanded our portfolio in WA to just under 160 sqkm. We also added a southern extension to the Wishbone EPMs (Wishbone VI) in Queensland ("QLD") in August 2021 bringing the Wishbone portfolio in the Ravenswood area to 174 sqkm. We also retain the 37.2 sqkm at White Mountains in QLD further north from Ravenswood.

We are now drilling our main exploration targets at Red Setter in Western Australia and our Wishbone tenements in Queensland.

Interim Operation Highlights

Heritage Surveys

After almost two years, the WA border reopened on March 2022. Following the reopening, we managed to get Heritage surveys completed on target drilling areas at Red Setter and commenced surveys at Cottesloe. We also completed all necessary Heritage surveys in Queensland. Heritage Surveys are a continuing process but we are now well ahead of requirements.

Drilling In Western Australia

Before the reopening of WA we managed only a limited amount of exploration work at Red Setter so the full program did not start until May 2022. This is now going well and the combination of the recent gravity survey with the earlier magnetic survey will enable improved focusing on future drill targets.

Drilling In Queensland

The completion of all necessary Heritage surveys in Queensland enabled drilling to start at Wishbone II in June. Initial results from this program were announced in the RNS dated xx

Interim Financial Highlights

At the end of the period under review, the accounts show that Wishbone held cash balances totalling GBP2,375,022 (December 2021: GBP3,002,547). Administrative costs, excluding interest during the period, were GBP384,823 (June 2021: GBP510,378).

The Company continues its strategy of exploration on its properties in Australia. In conclusion I would like to thank you all: staff, shareholders and advisers for your hard work and support. We will continue to announce news as soon as we are allowed by regulations to do so.
