WA1’s 218,000 ha Madura package changes hands

WA1 Resources has transferred 16 tenements covering ~217,930 hectares in south-eastern WA’s Shire of Ngaanyatjarraku to 97992001 Pty Ltd.

The Madura Project has been identified by WA1 as prospective for iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

Why it matters: The package sits immediately adjacent to the Wingellina, Nebo and West Musgrave projects, giving the ground a strategically interesting position within a highly prospective mineral district.

At nearly 218,000 ha, it’s a serious land position — and one worth watching to see what the new owner does with it.
