Vancouver, BC

West Red Lake Gold Intersects 54.19 g/t Au over 4m and

23.73 g/t Au over 3.53m at Austin – Madsen Mine

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 drill results featured in this news release are focused on the high -grade Austin Zone. The

Austin Zone 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.

The purpose of this drilling was definition within priority areas of Austin to continue building an

inventory of high-confidence ounces to support the restart of production at the Madsen mine ,

which is expected to commence in H2 2025. The Company expects to complete a pre-feasibility

study in support of that restart goal in the coming months.

Shane Williams, President & CEO, stated, “The deeper portions of the Austin Zone are continuing

to return very positive results as we advance the infill drilling programs and increase our

confidence in these areas of the mine . Due to limited underground development, t he two

previous operators were only able to access portions of the Madsen deposit down to around 9

level. We are very excited to continue accessing deeper portions of the deposit which were

historically mined during a period when gold was only valued at $20-40 per ounce. This resulted

in very selective mining practices targeting just the core of the system that left behind a lot of

mineralization that would be considered high grade by current standards. With gold prices now

in excess of US $2,500/oz we are taking full advantage of that remnant material and see a lot of

upside at depth in Madsen.”

DISCUSSION

The Austin zone is accessed through the Madsen Mine West Portal . Like the other mineralized

domains that comprise the Madsen Mine, the Austin structures are hosted within broad,

kilometer-scale planar alteration and deformation corridors that have been repeatedly

reactivated during gold mineralization and subsequent deformation and metamorphism.

Page 6 of 19

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

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 2024.
