Westgold Managing Director and CEO Wayne Bramwell commented:
“While Westgold does not require additional funding today, securing long-dated, unsecured
and cost-effective liquidity now is strategic and ensures we can continue to invest and expand
our business with confidence.
These new facilities are a prudent step that enhances our financial flexibility at a time when
the business is in a position of real financial strength. They provide us with additional balance
sheet resilience and most critically, optionality as to how we bring value forward in our 3-Year
Outlook.
With our treasury at over $600M at the end of 2025, these facilities will boost our available
liquidity to over $1.2B.
Westgold thanks CBA, OCBC, RBC, Société Generale and WBC for their support and look
forward to working with this syndicate as we advance our growth strategy.”

Forward Looking Statements
These materials prepared by Westgold Resources Limited include forward looking statements. Often,
but not always, forward looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking
words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “believe”, “forecast”, “predict”, “plan”, “estimate”,
“anticipate”, “continue”, and “guidance”, or other similar words and may include, without limitation,
statements regarding plans, strategies and objectives of management, anticipated production or
construction commencement dates and expected costs or production outputs.
Forward looking statements inherently involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements to differ materially from
any future results, performance or achievements. Relevant factors may include, but are not limited to,
changes in commodity prices, foreign exchange fluctuations and general economic conditions,
increased costs and demand for production inputs, the speculative nature of exploration and project
development, including the risks of obtaining necessary licenses and permits and diminishing quantities
or grades of reserves, political and social risks, changes to the regulatory framework within which the
Company operates or may in the future operate, environmental conditions including extreme weather
conditions, recruitment and retention of personnel, industrial relations issues and litigation.
Forward looking statements are based on the Company and its management’s good faith assumptions
relating to the financial, market, regulatory and other relevant environments that will exist and affect the
Company’s business and operations in the future. The Company does not give any assurance that the
assumptions on which forward looking statements are based will prove to be correct, or that the
Company’s business or operations will not be affected in any material manner by these or other factors
not foreseen or foreseeable by the Company or management or beyond the Company’s control.
Although the Company attempts and has attempted to identify factors that would cause actual actions,
events or results to differ materially from those disclosed in forward looking statements, there may be
other factors that could cause actual results, performance, achievements or events not to be as
anticipated, estimatedor intended, andmany events are beyond the reasonable control of the Company.
In addition, the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-
looking statements as a result of the factors outlined in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s
continuous disclosure filings available on SEDAR+ or the ASX, including, in the Company’s current
annual report, half year report or most recent management discussion and analysis.
Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements. Forward
looking statements in these materials speak only at the date of issue. Subject to any continuing
obligations under applicable law or any relevant stock exchange listing rules, in providing this
information the Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update or revise any of the
forward-looking statements or to advise of any change in events, conditions or circumstances.
