FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Gold Finder Announces Next Phase of Target Development
at West Madsen Gold Project, Red Lake, Ontario
West Madsen adjoins Madsen Mine property, owned by West Red Lake Gold Mines
(WRLG), which recently announced the restart of the Madsen Gold Mine
VANCOUVER, BC – July 3, 2025 – Gold Finder Resources Ltd. (TSX -V: GLD) (OTCQB:
GLDFF) (“Gold Finder” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce summer fieldwork at its
100%-owned West Madsen Property (the “Property”).
A review of the Company’s previous exploration programs on the Property (2019-2024) was
conducted to determine untested targets and areas that require further fieldwork prior to carrying
out any additional mechanical stripping or drilling.
Figure 1: Showing West Madsen – Block A and 2025 target areas.
Two areas were selected for t he 2025 fieldwork (see Figure 1) and the work was carried out by
Emerald Geological Services. More than 200 soil samples and 25 rock-grab samples were collected
during the June program and submitted for laboratory analysis, with results pending.
Area 1
Covers an area from Tack Lake, where the Balmer -Confederation contact has been identified in
drilling, to the western property boundary with Athena Gold’s Laird Lake property, where Athena
reported bonanza-grade grab samples up to 373 g/t Au ( see Athena’s Dec. 4, 2024 news release).
Prospecting and soil sampling was carried out to identify further gold anomalies proximal to the
Balmer-Confederation contact. Reports from the Ontario Assessment File Database indicate grab
samples up to 2.23 g/t Au approximately 500 meters west of the West Madsen property boundary
and drill intersections up to 8.4 g/t Au over 1.3 meters approximately 1.5 km west of the boundary,
as well as grab samples up to 178 ppb Au near the west shore of Tack Lake on the Property.
Area 2
Covers an area near the eastern boundary of the Property , where 2020 soil sampling yielded
anomalies up to 106 ppb Au from “A” horizon, and where 2024 drillholes WM -24-03 and WM-
24-04 intersected ultramafic flows believed to belong to the Balmer Assemblage, which hosts the
current and past producing gold mines of the Red Lake camp. Infill soil sampling and prospecting
was carried out in this area during the 2025 program.
“It’s an opportune time to continue our systematic exploration of the West Madsen property with
the official restart of the Madsen Gold Mine and our eastern claim boundary only 5 k ilometres
from the Madsen mine/mill complex,” said Greg Lytle, President of Gold Finder.
About the West Madsen Gold Project
The West Madsen Gold Project covers 5,988 hectares in the heart of the Red Lake Gold Camp . It
is comprised of two contiguous claim blocks: Block A to the east and Block B to the west , both
accessible by secondary roads connecting to Ontario HWY 618 then to the town of Red Lake 15
km to the northeast. Block A adjoins the Madsen mine property, owned by West Red Lake Gold
Mines, which recently announced the restart of the Madsen gold mine (see WRLG news release of
May 22, 2025).
The bulk of the mineral resources on the Madsen mine property are hosted in a ~7 -km-long gold
trend that follows the major crustal break or contact between the Balmer and Confederation
assemblages. Gold Finder has observed the same Balmer -Confederation con tact in outcrop
approximately 1.5 km west of the Block A eastern claim boundary and identified it within an ~8 -
km corridor of disrupted regional magnetics that traverses Block A from the Madsen mine property.
