WIN METALS LTD (WIN) - From Nickel To High-Grade Gold: Inside Win Metals’ Turnaround Strategy
Description
A near-forgotten gold mine with a modern decline, bought for under a million dollars, and already delivering drill grades that beat expectations—that’s the kind of edge we love to unpack. Steve Norregaard, Managing Director of WIN Metals, joins us to share how the team pivoted from nickel exploration to a high-grade gold strategy built around speed, grade, and smart capital use. We dig into the Radio Gold Mine acquisition, why the existing infrastructure matters, and how a “soft start” could put ounces back into production by mid next year.
We walk through the first 9,000 metres of drilling at Radio, the plan to recalculate resources early in the new year, and the path to a clear mine plan shortly after. Steve explains why Repeater could be a northeast extension of the main Radio structure and how deeper hits, including a metre at 14 g/t, support a bigger system than first thought. The conversation then shifts to the Kimberley, where the Butchers Creek scoping study outlines around 200,000 recoverable ounces from a 250,000-ounce resource, a C1 cost near A$2,500/oz, and strong project metrics at current Australian gold prices—all while funding a new A$70 million plant.
If you care about near-term production, margin resilience, and exploration that actually feeds a mine plan, this one’s for you. We cover the funding runway, upcoming drill news, a maiden resource at Radio, and the staged development that keeps dilution in check. Plus, we talk optionality: the nickel and lithium assets remain in the portfolio, ready for a price turn that could unlock value fast.
