West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.(“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG)(OTCQB: WRLGF)is pleased to announce the start of a 2024 surface drilling program across its 100% owned Madsen Mine Property located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

The Company plans to drill up to 10,000 meters (“m”) of NQ diamond drill core testing a number of high-priority targets across the Madsen property that were generated through a systematic evaluation of all available geologic data (Figures 1 & 2).

Drill targets were selected based on 1) their position along primary structural trends, 2) proximity to the Russet Lake and Venus ultramafic units, and 3) periodicity along strike of the main Madsen structural corridor relative to known mineralized splays (Fork, McVeigh and North Austin).

The Company recently recognized this periodicity of known mineralized splays along the Madsen structural corridor through an evaluation of deposit-scale structural relationships.

The average spacing between these known mineralized splays is approximately 1 kilometer (“km”). Interpretation of the regional aeromagnetic dataset, which was flown in 2014, suggests that additional splays could be present along strike from Madsen to the northeast.

Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, stated,

“After completing a thorough review of the available geologic data for the Madsen property our team has generated some new exploration concepts and identified a number of highly prospective targets that share characteristics with known resource areas, which suggests the geologic potential for hosting high-grade gold mineralization.

 

 

“We are very excited to test a number of these targets this year with the surface drilling program as we strive to make meaningful discoveries and add value across the Madsen property.”
