Wesdome Gold Mines {TSX.V: WDO} has released drill results from their Kiena gold mine complex in Val d’Or in Quebec. The drill highlights include 3 metres of 108.2 g/t gold, 5.2 metres of 47.8 g/t gold and 12.4 metres of 41.3 g/t gold.

Wesdome suspended drilling in March due to the covid-19 pandemic, which has now been lifted. They have drilled 47,800 metres, in 164 holes, since a September resource update for Kiena, with a further resource update expected mid-year.

.

An underground exploration ramp with drill platforms was completed earlier this year, and the company intends to use this to target up-plunge extensions of the ‘A’ zone and down-dip extensions of the ‘VC’ zones. The important thing to note here is that Wesdome suspects that these two zones may connect.

The company is on track to announce the results of a PEA on Kiena, later this month.

.

This study will examine the mining of existing near-mine resources within five zones, which currently contain a total of indicated at 14.5 g/t gold for a total of 450,000 gold oz. and a further 1.1 million inferred at 11 g/t gold, for a total of 397,000 oz.

,

The mid-year resource update would then form the basis of a preliminary feasibility study on a restart of the mine.
