VANCOUVER, British Columbia – West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) has announced final drill results from its recently completed infill and conversion drilling program at the 100% owned Rowan Project in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Drilling Program Highlights
The 2025-2026 Rowan drilling program exceeded expectations, successfully de-risking the vein system while demonstrating upside within areas of the deposit with limited drilling or discontinuous historic data. The best intercept of the program is included in this final round: 471 grams per tonne gold over 1 metre from Vein 013.
Key Intercepts
- Hole RLG-25-202: Vein 013 with 1m @ 471 g/t Au from 72m to 73m.
- Hole RLG-26-219: Vein 006b with 3m @ 10.84 g/t Au from 95m to 98m; including 0.5m @ 39.30 g/t Au from 95.5m to 96m and 0.5m @ 20.10 g/t Au from 97.5m to 98.0m (visible gold present).
- Hole RLG-26-221: Vein 011 with 1m @ 19.46 g/t Au from 73m to 74m; including 0.5m @ 38.80 g/t Au from 73.5m to 74.0m.
- Hole RLG-26-215: Vein 006b with 2.5m @ 6.88 g/t Au from 79.65m to 82.15m; including 1m @ 14.89 g/t Au from 81.15m to 82.15m.
- Hole RLG-26-222: Vein 013 with 2.5m @ 4.38 g/t Au from 22.7m to 25.2m; including 0.5m @ 15.75 g/t Au from 24.7m to 25.2m.
- Hole RLG-25-205: Vein 011 with 1.5m @ 7.29 g/t Au from 42.5m to 44.0m; including 0.5m @ 17.95 g/t Au from 43.5m to 44.0m.
Updated Vein Model and Resource Estimate
The new drilling has been incorporated into an updated vein model. A revised Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) will be completed over the coming weeks. The company plans to integrate the new Rowan model into a PFS-level mine design, which is expected to demonstrate the value of Rowan as a high-grade satellite feed as part of a toll milling strategy in Red Lake.
Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, commented: “The 2025-2026 Rowan drilling program exceeded expectations, successfully de-risking the vein system while demonstrating upside within areas of the deposit with limited drilling and/or discontinuous historic data. Notably, the best intercept of the program is included in this final round of results with 471 grams per tonne gold over 1 metre from Vein 013.”
Program Summary
A total of thirty-seven (37) holes for approximately 6,300 metres were completed at Rowan in the current drilling program. All assays have been received and reported. These results are in addition to previously reported intercepts from March 31, 2026 (19.83 g/t Au over 1.62m, 30.59 g/t Au over 1m, 41.5 g/t Au over 0.5m), February 18, 2026 (84.3 g/t Au over 1m, 14.4 g/t Au over 5.5m, 24.4 g/t Au over 1.5m), and January 29, 2026 (141.5 g/t Au over 1m, 55.8 g/t Au over 1m, 28.5 g/t Au over 1m).
