WESTGOLD ANNOUNCES TAKEOVER OFFER FOR MUSGRAVE
Westgold Resources Limited (ASX: WGX) (Westgold or the Company) is pleased to announce an all-scrip offmarket takeover offer (the Offer) for all of the issued outstanding shares in Musgrave Minerals Limited
(ASX: MGV) (Musgrave). Under the terms of the Offer, Musgrave shareholders will receive 1 fully paid Westgold
ordinary share for every 5.37 Musgrave shares held (Offer Consideration). The Offer Consideration implies an
undiluted equity value for Musgrave of $177.3 million or $0.30 per share1.
The Offer provides Musgrave shareholders the opportunity to see their gold assets developed by a wellfunded, debt free and experienced gold miner in a timely and capital efficient manner. It provides an
immediate and attractive premium that sidesteps the high risk, dilutive and arduous process of approval,
finance, construction and start-up of a small, stand-alone processing facility in a region already well serviced
with processing infrastructure.
The combination of Westgold and Musgrave is a logical and capital efficient solution that consolidates both
groups’ regional assets into a larger scale, more profitable and highly investable Western Australian focused
gold miner. This combined entity would be underpinned by Westgold’s technical capability, team and strong
financial position comprising cash and liquid assets of approximately $180 million and nil debt2.
This Offer announcement follows Westgold’s initial approach to Musgrave on Thursday, 1 June seeking
positive engagement in respect of a potential takeover bid.
A non-binding offer letter (with the same terms as announced in this Offer) together with an associated process
deed (Proposal) was formally presented to Musgrave for consideration on Friday, 2 June at a meeting between
key respective executives. Westgold has been advised that the Proposal remains under consideration from the
Musgrave Board.
Unfortunately, Westgold considers that the Proposal’s confidentiality has now been compromised as
evidenced by yesterday’s Musgrave share trading volumes which were approximately 6.6 times higher than
the average 12-month daily share turnover3 and resulted in a 6.25% share price increase, notwithstanding
that Musgrave released no ASX announcement, the gold price was lower and Western Australia had a public
holiday. Westgold looks forward to engaging as soon as practicable with Musgrave and its advisers in respect of
this highly attractive Offer.
HIGHLIGHTS
▪
Westgold to acquire all of the issued outstanding shares in Musgrave via an all-scrip off-market takeover
bid.
▪
Musgrave shareholders to receive 1 new fully paid Westgold ordinary share for every 5.37 Musgrave
shares held.
1 Based on the Offer Consideration price of $0.30 and Westgold’s closing price of $1.61 on 2 June 2023 (being Westgold’s share price at the time of
Westgold’s Proposal and before the loss of confidentiality affected Musgrave’s share price and volumes).
2 Based upon Westgold and Musgrave last reported cash and liquid positions as at 31 March 2023 – refer respective Quarterly Reports.
3 On Monday, 5 June Musgrave traded approximately 4.6M shares which can be compared to the average 12 month daily turnover in Musgrave of
approximately 0.7M shares. Data is sourced from IRESS.

Commenting on the Offer, Westgold Managing Director Wayne Bramwell said:
“Westgold’s view is that Musgrave’s plan to construct a new, small processing plant within close trucking
distance of two established larger processing plants is ambitious.
Their proposed development path costing $121 million in startup capital at a PFS level of certainty
materially escalates risk to Musgrave shareholders, as it exposes them to all the uncertainties, challenges
and dilution associated with project development. It is a high risk and inefficient use of their shareholder’s
capital at a time when securing capital for small scale, single asset companies is becoming more difficult
and costly.
Those risks will escalate and will include approvals, financing, construction, the competition for scarce
labour and the myriad of schedule and capital cost blow outs evident in many recent Western Australian
resource project start-ups.
There is a faster and lower risk solution available to Musgrave shareholders to see their Cue gold assets
developed in a timely manner.
Westgold is an established, well-funded owner and operator of two processing hubs in the Murchison
region. The combination of Musgrave’s assets with our regional infrastructure and operating teams will
fast track and de-risk the development of Musgrave’s Cue Gold Project and provides Musgrave
shareholders immediate exposure to a much larger, established Western Australian gold producer.
The Westgold offer provides a logical, capital efficient and fast track solution that delivers immediate value
to both Musgrave and Westgold shareholders and can rapidly enhance production scale and profitability
of the combined Group.”

RATIONALE FOR THE OFFER
Westgold is a leading ASX listed gold focused company with a current market capitalisation of $763m8, cash and
liquid assets of $168m and nil debt as at 31 March 20239. The Company currently produces ≈240-260koz10 of
gold per year from its Murchison and Bryah operations in Western Australia. It is an owner operator of its mines
and supported by extensive mining equipment and fleet which has an estimated replacement value of
approximately $200 million.
The Offer provides the opportunity to build a larger scale, more profitable Western Australian gold producer
that is dominant in the Murchison region. Westgold considers this Offer as a sensible and logical consolidation
outcome that unlocks value for both sets of shareholders.

KEY BENEFITS OF THE OFFER FOR MUSGRAVE SHAREHOLDERS
By accepting the Offer, Musgrave shareholders will receive an up-front benefit in the form of a highly attractive
premium and value being offered by Westgold along with the subsequent benefits that will likely become
available to all shareholders of the Combined Group. Those benefits include:
•
The Offer is underpinned by the strong strategic rationale of logical regional consolidation
Westgold’s 1.4Mtpa Tuckabianna mill and 1.8Mtpa Bluebird mill are situated only 40km and 120km to the north
of Musgrave’s Cue Gold Project respectively (Figure 2). The Westgold Board and management team have a
successful operational track record in the Western Australian mining sector.
Combining these assets is a capital efficient and low risk option that will fast track the development, mining and
processing of the high-grade Break of Day and White Heat - Mosaic deposits and potentially other deposits
within the wider Cue Gold Project area.

ASX: WGX
The combination will remove the capital burden and risk from Musgrave shareholders in funding, construction
and operating mining and processing infrastructure in a region already well serviced with processing capacity.
These savings can be applied to value-adding activities such as immediate mine development and further
exploration drilling to advance the next open pit targets within the Cue region.
•
Opportunity to own shares in Westgold, a leading ASX gold producer, whilst still retaining exposure
to the future development of the Musgrave assets
Westgold is an established mine operator. It owns and operates three processing hubs located across the
Murchison and Bryah regions of Western Australia that produce approximately 240,000-260,000oz of gold per
annum11.
The Murchison region (hosting Westgold’s Cue and Meekatharra gold operations) produces approximately
200,000oz of gold per annum on a combined basis. The Fortnum Gold Operation in the Bryah region has
contributed approximately 50,000oz of gold per annum10.
The combination of Westgold and Musgrave creates an enlarged company with enhanced scale, market
relevance and trading liquidity and offers the potential of a market re-rate through possible inclusion in the ASX
All Ordinaries indices and other investor indices.
•
The Offer significantly reduces the capital burden and approval, financing, construction, project
development and operating risks associated with being a Musgrave Shareholder
Musgrave’s Stage 1 Prefeasibility Study (PFS) released in April 2023 assumes pre-production capital costs of
$121 million for open pit pre-stripping, construction of a 500ktpa plant, tailings storage facility, camp facilities,
other infrastructure and contingencies associated with the outlined development. The combination of Westgold
and Musgrave immediately removes the PFS $80 million capital hurdle and construction timeline associated
with Musgrave’s plan to construct a standalone 500ktpa processing facility, as this would no longer be required.
As set out in the PFS, the Cue Gold Project would only have an initial mine life of five (5) years based on open
pit and underground JORC (2012) Mineral Resources. Significant additional drilling and technical work will be
required to convert these JORC (2012) Mineral Resources into Ore Reserves to support a potential future project
financing and decision to mine. Any such financing is likely to involve significant dilution to Musgrave
shareholders.
Future development of the Cue Gold Project is also likely to face significant capital and resourcing risks
associated with the inflationary environment and ongoing skill and labour shortages that are adversely affecting
the development of Western Australian mining projects.
By becoming a Westgold shareholder, Musgrave shareholders immediately benefit from becoming shareholders
in an established, well-funded, larger and leading Australian gold company.

•
Improved ESG outcomes for all stakeholders
Consolidating the assets of Westgold and Musgrave will eliminate wasteful duplication of infrastructure and
allow for a smaller development footprint and environmental impact. It also represents the quickest path to
production for the Cue Gold Project so that benefits of employment, commercial opportunities and royalties
flow to local communities more quickly and with greater certainty.
•
Opportunity to receive CGT rollover relief for the Offer consideration
If Westgold acquires at least 80% of Musgrave shares under the Offer, Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rollover relief
may be available to Musgrave shareholders in relation to the Offer Consideration.
Bidder’s Statement
Further information about the benefits and risk factors relating to the Offer will be set out in Westgold Bidder’s
Statement.
THE COMBINED GROUP
Upon Westgold acquiring all of the outstanding Musgrave shares under the Offer, Westgold will have
approximately 583.8M shares on issue12 with Musgrave shareholders owning approximately 18.9% of the
Combined Group (on an undiluted basis).
The Combined Group will have an estimated market capitalisation of approximately $940 million13, available
cash and liquid assets of more than $180 million14 and multiple cash generative gold assets throughout the
Murchison and Bryah regions in Western Australia.
Importantly, the Combined Group will consolidate Westgold’s dominant regional tenements, Mineral Resources
and Ore Reserves, mining and processing infrastructure across the Murchison region.
The combination of Westgold’s assets and Musgrave’s Cue Gold Project will create a Combined Group with:
▪
Combined Mineral Resources of 8.8Moz of gold;
▪
Potential to rapidly increase annual production to 290 - 300koz of gold with additional production
from the shallow, high grade Musgrave open pit ore15;
▪
Potential economies of scale that enhances Westgold profitability and reduce All in Sustaining Costs
(AISC) across the Murchison Operations; and
▪
Potential enhanced investment appeal of the Combined Groups’ scale and production profile.
12 Assumes Westgold issues 110.1 million new shares to Musgrave shareholders under the Offer
13 Based on the Musgrave Offer Consideration price of $0.30 and Westgold closing price of $1.61 on 2 June 2023.
14 Based upon Westgold and Musgrave last reported cash and liquid positions as at 31 March 2023 – refer respective Quarterly Reports.

target itself will be realised. The stated production target is based on Westgold’s current expectations of future results or events and should
not be solely relied upon by investors when making investment decisions. Further evaluation work and appropriate studies are required to
establish sufficient confidence that this production target will be met.

original announcements and considers that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning the information in the relevant
market announcement continue to apply and have not materially changed.
