All exploration companies have found it difficult to secure drilling services in Western Australia, especially with the COVID restriction in the State over the last year and the competitive backdrop experienced for miners and explorers in the current mineral exploration boom. We are hopeful of having the rig on site and drilling at Red Setter before the end of May.”\n\nFor more information on Wishbone, please visit the Company’s website.\n\n[www.wishbonegold.com ](http://www.wishbonegold.com)\n\nEND\n\n**For further information, please contact:**\n\n**Wishbone Gold PLC**\n\n**Richard Poulden, Chairman**\n\n**Tel: +971 4 584 6284**"}
