WESDOME ANNOUNCES ONGOING DEFINITION DRILLING OF KIENA DEEP A ZONE RETURNS 68.2 G/T GOLD OVER 19 METRES AND EXPLORATION DRILLING BETTER DEFINES UP PLUNGE EXTENSION

,

Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. has released additional results from the continuing underground definition and exploration drilling of the Kiena Deep A zone at its 100-per-cent-owned Kiena mine complex in Val d’Or, Que.

.

Four drills continue to operate on the 1050 metre level (“m-level”) exploration ramp completing the infill and immediate plunge extension drilling of the Kiena Deep A Zone in preparation for an updated resource estimate expected H2 2019. The ongoing definition drilling has continued to confirm the overall continuity of the geometry and the high grade gold mineralisation of the Kiena Deep A Zone that now extends over 700 metres along plunge (see Figure 1A and 1B {&#A A ; –} Plan Views).

.

Meanwhile a 5th drill is located on the 670 m-level and continues to return high grade intersections along the interpreted up plunge extension of the Kiena Deep A Zone towards the VC zone area with one hole returning 31.1 g/t Au over 5.1 metres. It is now interpreted that A Zone is folded as it extends up plunge to intersect the VC1 and VC6 zones (Figures 2, 3 and 4 {&#A A ; –} Three-dimensional Views) The Company is considering driving an exploration drift near the 790 m-level to better drill this area, that can also be used for future development and production of the Kiena Deep A Zone and the VC zones.

.

Highlights of the new drilling are listed below and summarized in Table 1.

Kiena Deep A Zone Hole 6456: 68.2 g/t Au over 19.0 m core length (28.1 g/t Au cut, 14.4 m true width) Hole 6450: 126.3 g/t Au over 4.3 m core length (23.6 g/t Au cut, 3.8 m true width) A2 Zone Hole 6449: 44.5 g/t Au over 9.0 m core length (17.0 g/t Au cut, 7.3 m true width) Hole 6449: 37.6 g/t Au over 4.6 m core length (28.5 g/t Au cut, 4.5 m true width) A1 Zone Hole 6505: 52.7 g/t Au over 4.7 m core length (32.0 g/t Au, 4.3 m true width)

.

All assays cut to 90.0 g/t Au. True widths are estimated.

.

Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “We are very pleased with the ongoing definition drilling that continues to confirm the overall continuity of the Kiena Deep A Zone, which has now been defined over 700 metres along plunge. Additionally, we look forward to the upcoming update of the resource estimate that will include almost 50,000 additional metres of drilling since the first Zone A Resource Estimate dated December 12, 2018. Drilling of the up plunge area continues to return high grade intersections and will continue to better define this portion of the A Zone for inclusion into future resource estimates.

We are considering the development of a second exploration ramp and drill platforms mid-level in the mine to better drill this area given its potential. Our 2019 underground exploration program calls for 50,000 metres of drilling (30,000 completed so far) in preparation for an updated resource estimate later this year, and we are excited for its completion. This information will then lead into a Preliminary Economic Assessment expected early in 2020 and next steps will be determined at that juncture.”
