Only 2.9 quarters of funding left at last quarterly.

I feel another cap raise soon.
Recent funding (late May @$0.26) was supposed to be for advancing Edwards...?

Very interested in purchasing, however the financial position doesn't meet my rules, despite them only recently raising funds.

Which particular do you have Frugal rock that effects this.
2.9 quarters of funding isn't great.
The company needs more capital. To develop the reserves how much is needed? I suppose this is why the company was spun off.

I think there should be information on upcoming Lithium mine development in teh next month.
We'll see.

Just released further high grade Nickel results from the Widgie 3 drillings. Always encouraging.

High Grade Widgie 3 Nickel Results
Highlights

• Significant nickel mineralisation intercepts at Widgie 3 confirmed:
 Thick intercepts of high-grade nickel sulphide and PGE mineralisation confirmed
 Mineralisation remains open at depth with increasing grade interpreted down plunge
 Drilling results received will facilitate resource update with increased resource confidence

• High grade results will ultimately feed into the feasibility studies that envisions a more substantive nickel mining operation than just Armstrong, incorporating the Widgie South deposits (comprising Widgie 3, Widgie Townsite, Gillett and Gillett North), Armstrong and 132N supported by a standalone nickel concentrator

• Notable significant nickel intercepts include:
23MERCD073 15.47m @ 3.17% Ni, 0.27% Cu, 0.04% Co, 1.51g/t 3PGE from 301.00m
Incl 6.81m @ 5.92% Ni, 0.50% Cu, 0.07% Co, 2.58g/t 3PGE from 309.66m
23MERCD079 27.70m @ 1.26% Ni, 0.11% Cu, 0.02% Co, 0.50g/t 3PGE from 379.00m
Incl 2.39m @ 6.56% Ni, 0.68% Cu, 0.09% Co, 2.12g/t 3PGE from 404.29m
23MERCD080 7.74m @ 2.94% Ni, 0.28% Cu, 0.04% Co, 1.24g/t 3PGE from 369.26m

WIN has just released more detailed figures from its August 11 report. See post 60. Very impressive indeed. Has given the SP a kick along

Exceptional 132N Massive Sulphide Hit Confirmed
Highlights

• Exceptionally high-grade nickel mineralisation at 132N, previously reported by XRF in 23MERCD112 now confirmed by assay
23MERCD112 9.14m @ 10.44% Ni, 0.75% Cu, 0.13% Co, 1.93g/t 3PGE from 330.00m
Incl 2.61m @ 18.88% Ni, 0.48% Cu, 0.23% Co, 0.65g/t 3PGE from 335.44m


Figure 1 23MERCD112 Individual assay results from disseminated to massive sulphide mineralisation.

Managing Director, Steve Norregaard said: “Widgie attracted great interest with the core sample displayed at our Diggers booth this year for good reason. We are delighted to share the assay results for 23MERCD112 validating portable XRF readings announced on the 11 August 2023. This hole drilled through the lower zone of the current 132N resource shape confirms the presence of exceptionally high-grade mineralisation.”

Massive Ni-sulphide results are always good for a temporary price spike that enables a few holders to sell. Will be interesting if there's any follow up buying.

Yeah ... The initial drill result came out on August 11. Bit of a sugar hit then. Today's further, more detailed, excellent results did give a rush of blood for about 10 minutes ... But as you say there doesn't seem to be further buying and the SP has gone back to

I have to say I'm surprised. For about 12 months there was real upward pressure on WIN share price. This seemed to be led by a string of very good drilling results which have expanded the volume and value of the reserves at Widgie. And then they discovered a very promising Lithium outcrop on which they intend to bring in new partners for development.

And yet the SP has now retreated to basically where it started.

I wonder if NMT will come back into the picture to help kick it along ? Just an idle thought but I would think this will be a very good little earner. I'm only in it because NMT gave shares to its shareholders when they spun it off originally.

 

[basilio]

So all the great results. Still back to square 1.

Still picking it for the october xrap shoot. Can't be xrsed looking for another wannabe story. Can't imagine what spectacular report will shoot this into the stratosphere. I suspect selling my meager shareholding will be a minimum requirement.

Perhaps a report on the Lithium mine possibility ? Maybe Donald Trump wants to buy in ? Bit of money laundering ?

Go Ozark...

 

[basilio]

Two significant press releases relating to the Lithium Mining Proposal. The Lithium Grades have been substantially upgraded.

The SP has been kicked along with this news. How long that holds for ?

Australian Nickel Conference presentation. Pulls together the Lithium, Nickel and other resources so far proven.
In theory.... the Lithium mining proposal could be kicked off by the end of the year. (which year you ask ??)

I do think the stock has proven much more resources than may have been anticipated when first floated

WIN continues to highlight the quality of its Lithium resources. They are certainly keen to monetise the asset.

The review of Lithium Grades should encourage further interest. I believe this was just a formalisation of the earlier announcment on Oct 2

So why will WIN JUMP in November ? I have decided to say my prayers again. Does that count ?

I'm hoping it won't go any lower because frankly I think it is excellent value . Maybe we see some more action with the Lithium mining.

The Quarterly Report came out yesterday. Very positive. We'll see.

Another seemingly excellent drilling report from WIN.

Absolutely no response on the SP. Strange I think ?

Widgie Nickel’s Managing Director and CEO, Mr Steve Norregaard, commented:
“These further results from drilling at 132N complete the resource drill out programs for 6 of the 12 known deposits within the Mt Edwards Nickel Project.

“132N has demonstrated excellent potential with some extraordinarily high grades providing encouragement, and importantly identifying opportunities for future resource growth.

“We look forward to seeing the results of the upcoming Scoping Study and in turn future resource upgrades demonstrating that a continuous and sustainable standalone mining operation is possible

December has been a disaster for Widgie. I understand from someone in the know that all the so called nickel was in fact fools nickel - like fools gold

So the Sp has dropped precipitously from 20c to 8.2c at yesterdays close

Until today. For no apparent reason there has been a rush of blood amongst whoever is out there and WIN stands at 11.5 at days close - a 40% jump on the day.

What does this mean ? Gawd knows. I'm just hoping there is some significant good news on financing in the wind. Who knows how the story goes.

Update from WIN. Always promising. Lets see what it can deliver. Market likes it - a bit.

Mt Edwards Scoping Study & Lithium Update
Highlights
• Scoping Study completion date revised to February 2024.
• Widgie 3 and Gillett Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) to be updated to allow additional Indicated material to be included in the early years of the mine plan for regulatory compliance.
• Faraday-Trainline lithium offtake discussions advancing with prospective parties.
Widgie Nickel Ltd (ASX: WIN) (“Widgie” or “the Company”) advises that the timing of the Scoping Study for the Mt Edwards Nickel Project has been revised to February to allow for inclusion of updated Widgie 3 and Gillett MREs.

The draft Scoping Study is essentially complete, however for compliance with regulatory requirements, the Company intends to update the Widgie 3 and Gillett Mineral Resource Estimates (MRE) in order to increase the proportion of Indicated material in the early years of the mine plan.

The Widgie 3 & Gillett deposits at Mt Edwards have undergone extensive infill drilling since the previous estimates with these new results initially excluded from the Scoping Study due to timing cut-offs.

....“On Faraday-Trainline, we are still active in discussions with potential partners, however we are very cognisant of current conditions in the lithium market and want to ensure that we do the right deal, not just a deal for the sake of it.”

[basilio]

This has not been a good year on market for WIN. Despite a string of excellent upgrades on its nickel resources and a promising new Lithium project the SP has cratered.

Nonetheless I am hopeful 2024 will see success in terms of commercialisation of their resources. I have tipped WIN in the full year comp.

 

[basilio]

The Gillett Reserves report has been updated. Again some excellent outcomes and, as usual, "very promising". The CEO ceratiinly waxes lyrical..
SP gave a little jump this morning. Let's see if it lasts the day.

Substantial Uplift to Gillett Mineral Resource

Highlights
• Total Resource now stands at 3.14Mt @ 1.30% Ni for 40,770 nickel tonnes.

• Substantial 75% increase in total contained nickel versus the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE).

• A substantial improvement in confidence with a 108% increase in the Indicated Category to 30,650 nickel tonnes.

• 72% of the MRE is now within the Indicated Resource Category.

• Palladium + Platinum + Gold (3PGE) endowment with Au (0.05g/t), Pt (0.09g/t) and Pd (0.18g/t) 0.32g/t 3PGE (equating to 5,240oz Au, 9,080oz Pt and 18,050oz Pd).

• Mineralisation remains open to the north and south.

• Total Mt Edwards Nickel Resource grows to 189,300 tonnes of contained nickel.
Widgie Nickel Managing Director and CEO, Mr Steve Norregaard, commented:

"The second of 6 MRE revisions destined to be delivered over the next few months is a resounding success demonstrating the potential we all see in the Mt Edwards Nickel Project. Gillett is now the largest, highest confidence resource in the company's portfolio, with ample exploration upside remaining. This substantial upgrade will feed into our scoping study, leading to increased mine life and will importantly defer capital requirements as we can now clearly see a longer life start up in the Widgie South area”

“Widgie’s unique assemblage of 12 resources in close proximity make for a wonderful opportunity to build a long life, high confidence, low risk mining operation in the medium term.”

[basilio]

Yeah amazing isn't it ? I really don't know what will happen with WIN. Every update on the Nickel resource has been very good. It has certainly proven a viable nickel producing prospect. But the SP is sitting way below par.

At one stage it just kept powering up as drill after drill demonstrated a substantial, quality asset. But that worm has turned . If I had to think of a good outcome it would be NMT coming back to the stock and putting in sufficient capital to kick off Nickel production . It would be good value for both parties.
