West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”)  (OTCQB: WRLGF) is pleased to provide an update on restart readiness activities, including the in-progress bulk sample, at its 100% owned Madsen Mine project in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

“With test mining underway, bulk sample stockpiles building on surface, and the mill set to initiate campaign processing in the coming weeks, we have achieved many key operational milestones at the mine site.

 

“The connection drift development and test mining efforts have been very successful to date, which is a testament to our mine crews’ ability to operate safely and efficiently. I’m proud to say that the ramps, sills, and stopes we are developing at Madsen are best in class.

 

“Things are increasingly busy across the site with final installation work underway for the camp and mine dry facilities, mine engineering picking up pace, and a headcount that stands at 185 employees and 50 contractors currently active on site.

 

“The team is excited to get the bulk sample complete, which is expected to demonstrate that our approach to mining at Madsen works, followed by rolling into production mining and processing with an aim to start selling gold into this record price environment, where gold is selling for over CAD$4,100 per ounce today.”

Bulk Sample

The bulk sample program includes plans to mine at least 10,000 tonnes of material from six stopes.

The Company prioritized parts of the Madsen resource for extraction early in the mine life based on grade, tonnage, and ease of access. These areas saw access development, definition drilling, and mine engineering over the last 16 months and now constitute the mineral inventory in the 12-month detailed mine plan.

The bulk sample program targets stopes in three such areas: the 1099/1100 area of the Austin resource, the 1407 area of the McVeigh resource, and the 987 area of the South Austin resource.

Bulk sampling from several areas amplifies the benefits of test mining by:

• Testing drill density and modeling techniques for different zones of the deposit,
• Allowing crews to deploy the range of mining methods that will be used at Madsen, and
• Helping to solidify mining procedures in proximity to old workings by validating historical data and confirming geotechnical competence assumptions (with respect to both void and backfilled historical stopes).

At present, 3,380 tonnes of bulk sample material are on surface from two stopes. The remaining stopes will be drilled, blasted, and mucked over the coming weeks.

Maurice Mostert, Vice President Technical Services said,

“The first stopes mined have provided valuable insights into the effectiveness of the drill and blast designs, the geological modelling techniques, and the overall development processes required.

 

“Initial results are showing that our drill and blast techniques and design criteria are very effective at controlling fragmentation size and dilution.”
