Madsen Mine Drilling Focused On High Grade South Austin Zone

VANCOUVER - West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. reported on its Madsen Mine located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The drilling focused on the high-grade South Austin Zone, which currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces (oz) grading 8.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), with an additional Inferred resource of 31,800 oz grading 8.7 g/t Au. The results successfully demonstrate the high-grade nature and continuity of the South Austin Zone and highlight the resource growth potential that exists within this area. The WRLG team believes that further exploration potential exists down-plunge which could potentially add to the unmined portion of South Austin, which sits adjacent to existing underground infrastructure marking it as a high caliber target that could potentially be developed early during future mine restart and production. This area is a priority expansion target as underground drilling continues.

Shane Williams, President & CEO, said, “Our team is very pleased with the fantastic results that continue to be produced from the underground drilling program at Madsen which only begantwo months ago. It is worth restating that the impressive results reported thus far from South Austin and North Austin represent growth to the existing Madsen resource inventory and underscore the high-grade expansion potential that still exists at the Madsen deposit. We fully intend to continue unlocking this value as drilling continues.”
