West Red Lake Gold Adding Confidence to Rowan Mine
Resource and Extending Vein Zones
West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is pleased to announce drill results from its fully funded infill and
conversion drilling program at the 100% owned Rowan Project located in the Red Lake Mining
District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Will Robinson , Vice President of Exploration , stated, “ We are very encouraged by the results
received to date from the Rowan infill drilling program. Bringing Veins 006b and 013 into
consideration for PFS mine design has the potential to materially change the way we view the
Rowan deposit, and it’s expected contribution to a future hub and spoke production model in
Red Lake. The 2025 PEA envisioned Rowan as a small footprint, underground extraction scenario
delivering high-margin rock with an average diluted grade of 8 grams per tonne gold at the rate
of 400 tonnes per day. Incorporating Veins 006b and 013 into the production profile has the
potential to materially increase the daily mined tonnage from Rowan, which could significantly
increase the economics of the project. Though further engineering work is required to fully
substantiate this scenario our team is excited to begin updating the geologic model, mineral
resource estimate and mine design for the combined Madsen -Rowan PFS slated for Q3 2026.
Additionally, we are seeing favorable intercepts along strike from currently modeled Veins 001
and 003, which were both included in the 2025 PEA mine plan - this speaks to the excellent
opportunity for continued resource growth at Rowan through additional expansion drilling.”
The results featured in this new release are focused on the high -grade Rowan vein system and
are in addition to the intercepts recently announced on February 18, 2026 which highlighted 84.3
grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 1 metre (“m”), 14.4 g/t Au over 5.5m and 24.4 g/t Au
over 1.5m, and on January 29, 2026 which highlighted 141.5 g/t Au over 1m, 55.8 g/t Au over
1m and 28.5 g/t Au over 1m.
A total of thirty-seven (37) holes for approximately 6,300m were completed at Rowan in the
current drilling program . Fire assay gold results have been reported for twenty-six (26) holes.
Results are pending for eleven (11) holes.

*The “From-To” intervals in Table 1 are denoting overall downhole length of the intercept. True thickness has not
been calculated for these intercepts but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole thickness based on intercept angles
observed in the drill core. Internal dilution for composite intervals does not exceed 1m for samples grading <0.1 g/t
Au. The “VG” column indicates the presence of Visible Gold as observed by the core logging geologist. The (hw) and
(fw) notes under “Domain” column are indicating position of grade intercept “hangingwall” or “footwall”,
respectively, to primary vein domain. Vein intercepts currently defined as “Unmodeled” may be incorporated into
new vein domains in upcoming MRE update for Rowan.
