Exciting Developments from West Red Lake Gold Mines
West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is thrilled to share the latest drilling results from its wholly-owned Madsen Mine, renowned for its mineral-rich deposits located in the highly productive Red Lake Gold District. The recent findings underscore the company’s commitment to advancing its mining operations and enhancing resource extraction.
Outstanding Drill Results Showcase High Gold Grades
High-Grade Panels in South Austin
Recent drilling in the South Austin Zone has confirmed exceptional gold mineralization, demonstrating impressive grades and thicknesses. President and CEO Shane Williams stated, “The current depth-focused drilling has been pivotal in identifying high-priority areas rich in gold. This strategic approach is crucial as we seek to integrate these findings into our mining plans.”
The South Austin Zone currently boasts an indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces of gold, graded at 8.7 grams per tonne (g/t), along with an inferred resource of 31,800 ounces at the same grade. The confidence in resource estimation has been further bolstered by results from recent drill bay analyses which reinforced the presence of considerable gold deposits.
Analysis of Drill Results
Drilling activities have provided impressive results once again, with highlights including:
- Hole MM25D-11-4420-024: 6.9m @ 36.85 g/t Au, featuring significant intervals that include 3m @ 81.23 g/t Au.
- Hole MM25D-11-4420-009: 2m @ 92.39 g/t Au, with a peak of 1m @ 183.79 g/t Au.
- Hole MM25D-09-4300-002: 15.45m @ 8.79 g/t Au, further validating the East lens extension.

Understanding the Mineralization at Madsen
The South Austin Zone is one of several mineralized structures at the Madsen Mine. Studies indicate that the mineralized veins are best characterized by relationships with alteration zones and structural complexities. Notably, subtle differences in the geology along with significant deformation can impact mineralization density. The core samples from the recent drilling show clear signs of visible gold, reaffirming the prospectivity of this region.
Future Drilling Endeavors
The approach for the drilling campaigns will continue to focus on defining and expanding the resource base. Plans for the future include detailed exploration to capture near-term high-grade resources in order to support continued production at the Madsen Mine. The commitment towards updating the mine plan consistently aims at increasing operational efficiency and throughput.
