West Red Lake Gold Launches Surface Drilling Program
West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. ("West Red Lake Gold" or "WRLG" or the "Company") (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is excited to announce the commencement of a surface drilling program at its fully owned Madsen Mine Property. This program aims to explore high-priority targets that have been identified through a thorough analysis of all available geological data.
Drilling Program Overview
The Company intends to drill up to 10,000 meters of NQ diamond drill core, focusing on several high-potential areas throughout the Madsen property. These targets have been carefully chosen based on their alignment with primary structural trends, their closeness to significant ultramafic units, and their relationship to known mineralized splays.
Target Descriptions
Here are some important targets that have been identified for the drilling program:
Upper 8
The Upper 8 target is a shallower geological counterpart to the high-grade 8-Zone, located within the Russet Lake Ultramafic. Previous drill holes have shown strong indications of mineralization, suggesting that further drilling is needed in this area.
MJ Target
The MJ target is part of the Wedge resource and is distinguished by high-grade sections within two shear zones. The drilling planned for 2024 aims to explore areas that have yet to be drilled.
North Venus
Situated about 2 kilometers northeast along the strike of known mineral zones, the North Venus target exhibits promising geophysical signatures that resemble those of known mineralization zones.
North Starratt
This target focuses on the northeast extension of the historic Starratt mine trend, which was a significant gold producer in its time and remains largely unexplored.
Quality Assurance and Control
To ensure quality assurance in the drilling program, systematic logging, sampling, and evaluation are conducted by trained geologists. The entire operation follows strict protocols to guarantee the reliability of the results.
Company Overview
West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. is committed to advancing its flagship Madsen Gold Mine and manages a land package in the Red Lake district, an area with substantial gold exploration potential. This region is renowned for producing over 30 million ounces of gold from high-grade deposits.
