Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX: WDO | OTCQX: WDOFF) has provided an update on its exploration activities at its wholly-owned Eagle River Mine, Ontario.
Anthea Bath, president, and CEO, stated, “Eagle River delivered exceptional exploration results in 2024, reflecting the prospectivity of this high-grade asset and the strength of our team. With more than 105,000m of surface and underground drilling completed during the year, we successfully delineated and expanded key zones close to existing infrastructure, identified new targets and advanced our understanding of the geology.”
Highlights of the results include:
- 6 Central Zone. Exceptional growth in down-plunge extension with high grades intercepted over mineable widths:
- Hole 758-E-492: 180.0g/t Au uncapped over 2.4m core length (83.4g/t Au capped 2.3m true width)
- Hole 758-E-525: 167.6g/t Au uncapped over 1.7m core length (65.9g/t Au capped 1.6m true width)
- Hole 758-E-508: 36.1g/t Au over 2.5m core length (2.4m true width) and 29.4g/t Au over 2.0m core length (1.9m true width)
- 6 Central Parallel Zone. Parallel zone close to infrastructure yields high-grade intercepts at intermediate depth:
- Hole 758-E-521: 17.4g/t Au uncapped over 3.8m core length (2.9m true width)
- Hole 758-E-541: 21.9g/t Au uncapped over 1.7m core length (1.7m true width)
- 300 Zone. High-grade intercepts continue to support reserve conversion:
- Hole 1201-E-65: 36.4g/t Au over 4.0m core length (3.5m true width)
- Hole 1201-E-72: 27.8g/t Au over 1.9m core length (1.6m true width)
- Hole 1201-E-68: 29.4g/t Au over 2.7m core length (20.9g/t Au capped, 1.7m true width
- Falcon 311 Zone. Continues to extend and remains open in all directions within the volcanic host rock:
- Hole 857-E-64: 19.1g/t Au over 2.0m core length (1.7m true width)
In addition, as part of the ongoing surface exploration programme, an induced polarization survey completed late in the year identified multiple anomalies closely associated with known deposits, indicating potential for additional mineralization west of the diorite. These findings confirm the long-term potential at Eagle River and outline several targets for further exploration in the coming year.
