VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.("West Red Lake Gold” or "WRLG” or the "Company”) (TSXV: WRLG)(OTCQX: WRLGF) is pleased to report drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine ("Madsen”) located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, commented, "Definition drilling at Madsen continues to intercept significant gold mineralization within the 904 Complex. We are currently advancing laterally across the upper portions of this panel, and we look forward to testing this area at depth over the coming months as underground decline development opens new drill access. Our ultimate objective at the 904 Complex is to define a broad panel of non-remnant mineralization, positioning it to be sequenced into our H1 2027 mine plan. The technical team remains well on schedule to deliver on that target.
While we advance the 904 Complex, we are also capitalizing on high-value opportunities elsewhere in the deposit made available by ongoing development. A prime case in point is the shallower Austin 955 area, which has recently returned a number of impressive results and notable showings of visible gold highlighted in this update."
The results from Austin 904 Complex presented in this update were all drilled from the 13 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 650 metre ("m”) depth. These results are in addition to those announced on April 13, 2026 which highlighted 215.46grams per tonne ("g/t”) gold ("Au”) over 5.35m, 50.34 g/t Au over 4.05m and 61.70 g/t Au over 3m, and on February 25, 2026 which highlighted 219.73g/t Au over 4.8 m, 148.36 g/t Au over 3m and 133.13 g/t Au over 2.5m.
The results from the Austin 955 Complex were drilled from the 12 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 600m depth.
The Austin 904 represents a unique opportunity within the Madsen deposit, comprising an approximately 200m by 200m panel of intact gold mineralization that was not historically mined. This is rare for the Madsen deposit and places WRLG in a favorable position to have full access to the entire mineralized zone for mining which is expected to result in larger stopes and increased efficiency during design and extraction.
AUSTIN 955 COMPLEX HIGHLIGHTS:
