VANCOUVER, British Columbia — West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (NASDAQ: WRLG) is excited to unveil remarkable drill results from its entirely owned Madsen Mine situated in the renowned Red Lake Gold District. These recent findings highlight the exceptional potential we possess in high-grade gold deposits.
Drilling Success at the South Austin Zone
At the heart of our latest report is the South Austin Zone, which is prevalent with a remarkable indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces, exhibiting a grade of 8.7 grams per tonne gold. Moreover, an inferred resource adds to the promise with an additional 31,800 ounces, also grading at 8.7 g/t Au.
Exceptional Drill Results Boost Mining Prospects
The results documented in this update are a follow-up to previous announcements, where remarkable intercepts were disclosed. Recent drill holes have yielded impressive numbers, including:
- Hole MM24D-08-4447-069: 10.6m @ 114.26 g/t Au from 122.0m to 132.6m, including a stunning 0.7m @ 1,609.26 g/t Au.
- Hole MM24D-08-4447-064: 3m @ 77.90 g/t Au from 120m to 123m.
- Hole MM24D-08-4447-073: 8.5m @ 24.48 g/t Au from 126.0m to 134.5m.
These findings significantly help in establishing a robust inventory of high-confidence ounces, essential for the anticipated restart of production at the Madsen mine, expected to commence shortly.
