West Red Lake Gold Drills 26.97 Grams Over 4.0 Metres
Toronto, Ontario (FSCwire) - West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”) (CSE: RLG) (FWB: HYK) (OTC: HYLKF) announces positive drill results including 26.97gpt over 4.0m from its recent exploration program on the Company’s 3100 hectare West Red Lake Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District, 20k west of the town of Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
The Company is pleased to report it drilled ten exploration holes which successfully intersected the Rowan Mine gold zones. (See diamond drill hole summary.)
Drill Program Highlights
- 26.97 grams per ton over 4.0 metres
- 162.0 grams per ton over 1.5 metres
- 28.0 grams per ton over 1.1 metres
The exploration program was successful in confirming the continuity of the high grade zones and advancing the project towards outlining a potential gold resource at the Rowan Mine. The Rowan Mine is located in the centre of West Red Lake Gold’s property position. A 12k portion of the Pipestone Bay-St Paul Deformation Zone crosses the Company property and hosts the Rowan Mine Gold System. Good potential exists to expand the Rowan Mine gold zones along strike and to depth.
All ten holes intersected gold values in a pervasive quartz vein structure hosted within mafic volcanics. The gold distribution within the quartz vein structure is consistent with Archean lode gold deposits which have produced the majority of the gold that has been mined in the primary Ontario gold mining districts including Red Lake and Timmins.
