West Red Lake Gold Expands High-Grade Zone in South Austin
with 36.85 g/t Au over 6.9m, 92.39 g/t Au over 2m and 8.79
g/t Au over 15.5m
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.
“The high -grade panel of gold mineralization the team is currently defining and expanding in
South Austin has been delivering exceptional grades and thicknesses ,” said Shane Williams,
President & CEO . “Archaean lode -gold vein systems like Madsen are well known for having
pockets of mineralization that are often discrete, very high-grade and require tight-spaced drilling
to properly define. The success we are having in South Austin with the underground definition
program underscores the importance of getting the drills deeper in the syst em and into high
priority areas of the deposit so that additional high-grade pockets and lenses can be discovered,
drilled off and integrated into the mine plan.”
The drill results featured in this news release are focused on the high -grade South Austin Zone,
which currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces (“oz”) grading 8.7
grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”), with an additional Inferred resource of 31,800 oz grading 8.7
g/t Au.
These results further expand on the high-grade panel of gold mineralization within South Austin,
which has been a key focus of definition drilling in 2025 (Figure 1). The results highlighted from
drill bay 09-4300 have increased confidence in the eastern portion of the lens, while drilling
from the 11-4420 drill station ha s helped to validate the len s down plunge to the east .
Additional results from this area were previously announced on May 27, 2025 , where drilling
returned 61.51 g/t Au over 12.1m , 43.54 g/t Au over 8.35m and 24.61 g/t Au over 11.2m and
on February 26, 2025, where drilling returned 114.26 g/t Au over 10.6m, 77.90 g/t Au over 3m
and 24.48 g/t Au over 8.5m.

*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
