Following the definition of a new ore shoot at West Red Lake Gold's (WRLG.v WRLGF) Upper 8 Target, Guy Bennett from Global Stocks News did a deep dive into the significance of these results, noting the similarities to its high-grade 8 zone: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/investing/markets/markets-news/TheNewswire.com/29771387/structural-repetition-west-red-lake-golds-new-ore-shoot-is-similar-to-the-high-grade-8-zone/
Upper 8 Target Discovery
- New high-grade ore shoot defined at the Upper 8 Target with promising drill results, following earlier intercepts of 44.17 g/t Au over 1.3m and 20.63 g/t Au over 0.5m.
- Shoot measures 30m wide and 130m along plunge, hosted in the Russet Lake Ultramafic unit, 750m up-plunge from the 8 Zone deposit.
- Geologically similar to the deeper 8 Zone, which contains an Indicated resource of 87,700 oz @ 18 g/t Au and an Inferred resource of 18,200 oz @ 14.6 g/t Au.
- Exploration focus includes testing for additional high-grade zones between Upper 8 and the 8 Zone.
Notably, WRLG is advancing plans for the restart of the Madsen Mine, with a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) nearing completion and targeted for early 2025.
- Focus on optimizing underground development, infrastructure sequencing, and cost refinement.
- Restart targeted for mid-2025 with detailed mine plans for the first 18 months of operations.
- Current NI 43-101 resources: 1.65 Moz Indicated @ 7.4 g/t Au and 0.37 Moz Inferred @ 6.3 g/t Au.
- Mine infrastructure largely complete, with operational learnings from its 2022 activity integrated into current plans.
Looking ahead, WRLG remains focused on identifying near-surface high-grade discoveries and leveraging conceptual geological models to guide exploration. Encouraging results from the Upper 8 Target reinforce confidence in the potential for broader discoveries across the Madsen property, positioning the company for significant growth in the Red Lake Gold District.
