West Red Lake Gold Confirms Additional High-Grade Gold in Lower Austin with 26.16 g/t Au over 11.2m, 37.87 g/t Au over 3.55m and 10.55 g/t Au over 8m

West Red Lake Gold Confirms Additional High-Grade Gold in
Lower Austin with 26.16 g/t Au over 11.2m, 37.87 g/t Au over
3.55m and 10.55 g/t Au over 8m
West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:
WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is pleased to report drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine
located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Shane Williams, President & CEO, stated, “The Madsen mine ramp up is progressing well, and
drilling into new gold zones deeper in the deposit while we ramp up reinforces our view that
Madsen will be a sustainable producing asset in Red Lake for many years to come. The site team
is eager to get the underground drills to deeper parts of the system and is currently finalizing
plans for development projects that will facilitate access to more distal portions of the resource
for conversion drilling and future mine planning. We are staying aggressive in our exploration
approach because we believe in the discov ery potential at Madsen and within the Red Lake
district.”
The drill results featured in this news release are focused on the high -grade Austin Zone, which
currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 914,200 ounces (“oz”) grading 6.9 grams per
tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”), with an additional Inferred resource of 104,900 oz grading 6.5 g/t Au.
These results from the 12-4860 drill station are in addition to the Lower Austin intercepts recently
announced on October 9, 2025 which highlighted 139.45 g/t Au over 7.8 metres (“m”), 74.70 g/t
Au over 8.7m and 18.31 g/t Au over 7.5m ; and on April 1, 2025 which highlighted 23.81 g/t Au
over 5.4m, 30.16 g/t Au over 4.3m and 12.43 g/t Au over 10.5m. The 12-4860 station is located
on 12 Level in the Madsen Mine at approximately 600m depth. Recent drilling from this area
demonstrates the potential for discovery of additional high -grade lenses of gold mineralization
in the main Austin Zone very similar to those that have already been delineated in the South
Austin zone during 2025 (see press releases dated August 12, 2025, May 27, 2025 and February
26, 2025). The lower Austin area will continue to be a key focus of drilling for the remainder of
2025.
Figure 2 below includes a long section which summarizes the top three intercepts in the Austin
12-4860 station from this current press release, as well as the top three highlights announced in
2025 from infill drilling stations in the new high-grade panel within the South Austin Zone . It’s

important to note that the new intercepts in Austin fall along a similar plunge line as those in
South Austin suggesting up to 600 meters of continuity within this high-grade panel.

*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.

DISCUSSION
Like the other mineralized domains that comprise the Madsen Mine, the Austin structure s are
hosted within broad, kilometer-scale planar alteration and deformation corridors that have been
repeatedly reactiv ated during gold mineralization and subsequent deformation and
metamorphism.
At the deposit scale the Austin, South Austin, North Austin, and McVeigh Zones are locally folded
and structurally dismembered by transposition and rotation into the penetrative S2 Foliation. In
addition to this intense deformation overprint, the mineralized veins and alteration have been
subjected to the relatively high temperatures of amphibolite facies metamorphism, which led to
extensive recrystallization and growth of the skarn -like replacement mineral assemblage of
diopside-amphibole-quartz-biotite.
All significant gold mineralization on the mine property is demonstrably early relative to the most
significant, penetrative deformation (D2) and metamorphic events. The North Austin Zone
displays ‘mine-style’ alteration and mineralization and consists of multiple mineralized domains
defined over a strike length of 0.5km. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike to
the northeast.
In drill core, or at underground face exposures, gold-bearing zones at the Madsen Mine are best
identified visually by fine (sub-millimetre) grains of free gold within strong alteration and veining.
All high-grade intervals generally contain visible gold o n drill core exteriors, although numerous
examples exist of high-grade assays where visible gold was only identified within the interior (cut
surface) of the core samples. Apart from the presence of free gold, pervasive silicification (locally
accompanied by discrete quartz veining) and quartz -carbonate or diopside veining are the best
indicators that a given interval is within a high-grade zone along/within the mineralized structure.
The current underground drilling program at the Madsen Mine is focused on further definition
of near-term mining inventory , as well as growth of the current mineral resource. Drilling has
Page 6 of 17
been focused on the more continuous and higher -grade portions of the Austin, South Austin,
North Austin and McVeigh Zones. This will continue to be the strategy through 2025.
