Unaudited Interim Results for the period ending 30^th June 2024

Chairman's statement

Wishbone announces its interim results for the six-month period ended 30^th June 2024. Shareholders are reminded that these results are unaudited and based on the Company's management accounts.

During the first half of 2024, global economic trends caused continuing concerns, with high inflation and further interest rate increases possible. We believe there remain many uncertainties for renewed economic growth. In addition, there is the growing threat of further conflict particularly in the Middle-East.

Despite the rise in the gold price in recent months this has been a difficult period for small-cap exploration with funding continuing to stay away from the sector. We remain convinced that gold is a critical feature of the world economy and that it will become more so in the future.

In local news, in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, we congratulate Greatland Gold on the announcement of the acquisition of Newcrest's Telfer operations and the re-purchase of Newcrest's stake in Havieron to make this once again wholly owned. This is hugely important for the region as it provides continuation of the infrastructure and processing plant at Telfer.

Interim Operating Highlights

In March 2024, the Company announced that initial results from the diamond drill program at the Cottesloe Project confirmed an overall exploration model for a major sediment hosted metals system focused on base metals and silver. This program was partly funded by a grant of A$176,000 under the Exploration Incentive Scheme ("EIS") run by the Western Australian Government.

On 26^th September 2024, Wishbone announced that it had received a further grant under the scheme for the Mosquito Creek Project. This is a competitive process driven by the quality of the submissions and by past exploration performance.

On 28^th August 2024, the Company held its Annual General Meeting. Jonathan Harrison and David Hutchins were re-elected to serve a further term as Directors of the Company, and AMS Limited was re-appointed as auditor to the Company for a further year and the Directors were authorised to fix their remuneration.

On 6^th September 2024, Wishbone appointed Tavira Financial Limited as the Company's broker with immediate effect. SP Angel will work out its notice period to the end of November 2024.

Interim Financial Highlights

At the end of the period under review, the accounts show that Wishbone held cash balances totalling £13,886 (December 2023: £18,226). Administrative costs, excluding interest during the period, were £883,157 (June 2023: £666,656).

In February 2024, the Company raised £300,000 gross from one corporate investor at a price of 1.2 pence per share which provided additional working capital for the Company but importantly it was used to initiate exploration operations at the Mosquito Creek property in the Pilbara.

In May 2024, the Company received notice to exercise warrants over a total of 25,000,000 new ordinary shares of 0.1 pence each in the Company issued at 1.0 pence per share. The exercise consideration was £250,000.

The placing announced on 20^th September 2024 which raised £360,000 will significantly improve the company's cash position providing funding for exploration and operations. This financing was led by Tavira Financial Limited.

Conclusion

The saddest part of the year was in April 2024 when Alan Gravett passed away after a brief illness.  Alan was a non-executive director of the Company and had been with Wishbone since it started in 2012 and he will be missed by all of us here.

The Company continues its strategy of exploration on its properties in Australia. We look forward to bringing more good news to all of you in the second half of 2024, creating more value for our shareholders.

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.
