Roper Bar - This exciting Iron Ore project is located in the new Roper Iron Ore Province in the Northern Territory.   WDR has gained access to a substantial tenement area which has never previously been drilled for iron ore.   Mapping has confirmed extensive outcrop of hematitic ironstone Formation.   Data from wide-spaced drilholes in the 2009 field season generated three initial JORC-compliant Inferred Mineral Resource statements.   These total 116Mt @ 39% Fe including DSO (direct shipping ore) of 7Mt @ 59% Fe.   A substantial drilling program is planned for 2010.

Rover - This is a Joint Venture with listed company TNG in the emerging Rover field, 50 kms south-west of Tennant Creek.  The target is Copper-Gold in Tennant Creek style ironstones.  The tenement package is adjacent to the Rover 1 project (Westgold Resources Limited) with published intersections of 135m @ 1.9% Cu and 7m @ 185 g/t Au.  Exploration by WDR on the JV ground has identified a number of priority magnetic targets.    Drilling is planned to commence in early 2010.

Spring Hill - The Spring Hill Project is located in the Pine Creek Goldfield, approximately 150km south of Darwin.  The project includes an Indicated Mineral Resource of 274,000oz Au (3.6Mt @ 2.34g/t Au).
