West Red Lake Gold Reports 219.73 g/t Au over 4.8m, 148.36
g/t Au over 3m and 133.13 g/t Au over 2.5m in Austin 904
Complex – 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.
Shane Williams, President & CEO, stated, “The underground drills at Madsen continue to deliver
impressive results from the 904 Complex in lower Austin – unlocking significant upside at depth.
We view the 904 Complex in a similar light as the 4447 area in South Austin – where drilling in
2025 uncovered very high -grade lenses of gold mineralization and now constitutes a significant
portion of the ounces in our 2026 mine plan. We are implementing the same strategy at 904
where drilling will continue to define this area during 2026 to bring into consideration for mine
design and production in early 2027. An additional benefit to the lower Austin 904 Complex is
that most of this 200 by 200 metre panel, as it’s currently defined, has seen very little mining
historically leaving the main mineralized zone mostly intact - this is expected to allow for larger
stopes and more efficient development and extraction from this high-grade area. The results
received to date in 904 are highly encouraging and we look forward to advancing the drills deeper
in this priority area of the mine.”
The results from Austin 904 Complex and South Austin presented in this update were all drilled
from stations on the 13 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 650m depth . Additional
results of note from this area were recently announced on November 4, 2025 which highlighted
26.16 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 11.2 metres (“m”), 37.87 g/t Au over 3.55m and
10.55 g/t Au over 8m; on October 9, 2025 which highlighted 139.45 g/t Au over 7.8m, 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.
Recent drilling success from th e lower Austin 904 Complex 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 the 2025
campaign (see press releases for South Austin dated August 12, 2025, May 27, 2025 and February
26, 2025). It is anticipated that the lower Austin area will continue to be a primary focus of drilling
at Madsen for the remainder of 2026.
