Today, West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) announced the final drill results from its 2023 drilling campaign at the 100% owned Rowan Property in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
The Rowan Mine deposit comprises more than seven sub-parallel, east-west trending veins. The focus of this drilling campaign was on filling gaps in the geologic model between the East and West Zones and expanding at depth on the West Zone ore shoot.
The results revealed significant intersections, including 4 meters at 9.5 g/t Au in hole RLG-23-177, approximately 80 meters beneath historic workings. Other notable intersections include 2.7m @ 3.66 g/t Au, 3.6m @ 3.13 g/t Au, and 9.0m @ 3.25 g/t Au.
Overall, the drilling in 2023 validated historical data and confirmed the continuity of quartz veining and gold mineralization at depth and along strike. Future drilling will emphasize infill and expansion of the existing high-grade mineral resource.
The Rowan Property 2023 Exploration Achievements include:
- Acquisition of the remaining interest in the Rowan Property from Evolution Mining, bringing ownership to 100%.
- Drilling of 62 holes for 20,211.4m of NQ diamond drill core, with highlights such as 70.80 g/t Au over 8.3m.
- Positive metallurgical test results indicating gold extraction above 98%, requiring minor changes to the existing flowsheet at Madsen Mill.
- Definition of the high-grade East Zone ore shoot down to 490m depth, still open for expansion.
- Additional drilling at the Red Summit NE target, confirming the geologic thesis.
- Baseline orientation soil sampling survey and reprocessing of airborne magnetic geophysical datasets and LiDAR survey for future engineering considerations.
With all of this progress in mine, CEO Shane Williams emphasized that the focus for 2024 will be on restarting the Madsen Mine, but the company remains excited about the exploration potential in the district.
