West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG; OTCQB: WRLGF) has reported additional drill results from its phase one exploration programme on its 100% owned Rowan property in the Red Lake gold district of northwestern Ontario, Canada.
“What was previously believed to be a very narrow high-grade gold system continues to deliver results that demonstrate real potential for broader zones of high-grade gold mineralization, which could prove advantageous for any future mining scenario,” commented West Red Lake president and CEO Shane Williams.
“With every hole drilled at Rowan, not only does our confidence in this asset grow, but its viability as a potential future source of high-grade mill-feed for Madsen increases as well.”
The high-grade mineralized vein zones encountered at the Rowan Mine target area continue to exceed company expectations, confirm the geologic model, and further improve the existing high-grade, which currently stands at 827,462oz Au in 2.8Mt ore (9.2g/t Au).
Highlights include:
- RLG-23-153: 2.0m @66.66 g/t Au from 235m depth, including 266.27g/t Au over 0.5m
- RLG-23-156B: 3.11m @21.84 g/t Au from 275m, including 0.8m at 77.64g/t Au
- RLG-23-154: 10.1m @6.27g/t Au from 215m, including 0.6m at 84.13g/t Au from 223.45m
A total of 17,000m of infill and expansion drilling was originally proposed for Rowan in 2023, but the program was expanded to 25,000m and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Current drilling at Rowan has only tested mineralization down to a depth of approximately 550m. According to the company, the Red Lake mining district is known to host orebodies that extend down more than 4km.
