Drilling data from West Red Lake Gold Mines‘ Madsen mine, which is situated in Ontario’s Red Lake gold area, were made public (TSXV: WRLG; OTCQB: WRLGF). High-grade gold was discovered during the underground drilling at the South Austin zone. These findings will help the Madsen mine’s scheduled production resumption, which is slated to resume in 2025. In the fourth quarter, the company plans to complete a pre-feasibility study that outlines its plan for starting up again.

President & CEO Shane Williams stated, “The intercepts out of South Austin highlighted in this update are right on par with the exceptional results out of the Austin and McVeigh zones that have been announced over the last month.” “The quality and consistency across the various mineral zones contribute to illustrating the potential that we perceive throughout the Madsen deposit.”
In the South Austin zone, there is an inferred resource of 31,800 oz of 8.7 g/t of gold and an indicated mineral resource of 474,600 oz of 8.7 g/t of gold.
The Rowan property at Red Lake, which consists of three abandoned gold-producing mines, is also owned by West Red Lake Gold Mines.
