Drilling At Waterpump Creek Continues To Produce Results

TUCSON, AZ - Western Alaska Minerals reported on the initial phase of its second-year drilling program on the Waterpump Creek (WPC) Carbonate Replacement Deposit (CRD). Highlights: Infill drill hole WPC23-0029 intersected two high grade zones, 19.4 meters of 158 gpt Ag (5.1 opt), 5.3% Pb and 11.5% Zn from 145.1 to 164.5 meters; Including 3.0 meters of 253 gpt Ag (8.1 opt), 9.7% Pb and 15.9 % Zn from 145.1 to 148.1 meters - 2.9 meters of 173 gpt Ag (5.6 opt), 6.7% Pb and 13.9% Zn from 176.0 to 178.9 meters and The hole was lost due to (sandy, dolomitic) drilling conditions and left in mineralization; 2023 drilling at Waterpump Creek confirms continuous mantos of massive sulfide; and Infill drilling will provide sufficient data points to enable (the Company) to move toward a preliminary resource estimate at WPC (subject to independent review).

"Drilling at Waterpump Creek continues to produce impressive assay results that reinforce the high-grade nature of this part of the CRD system," states Kit Marrs, CEO. "This infill hole in particular, expands the width by 28 meters, and contains grades and textures that closely resemble those found in WPC22-18, suggesting continuity of a major system.”
