Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG – OTCQB:WRLGF), joins us to review some of the recent wide high-grade gold drill intercepts returned from the South Austin and Main Austin Zones. These exploration results feed into the delineation of resources and to continue building an inventory of high-confidence ounces to support the restart of production next year at the Madsen Mine, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.

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 (PFS) in support of that restart goal in the coming months.
Additionally, Will shares with us that there is also drilling underway at surface testing a few other true discovery targets like the Upper 8 target, the MJ/Wedge target, and a new conceptual splay target, where there will be results starting to come in on those in the weeks to come.
