North Austin and Connection Drift Benefits

Will Robinson, VP of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSX.V:WRLG) (OTCQB:WRLGF), joins me for an expanded visual presentation on a number of underground and surface exploration targets of focus at and near the Madsen Mine and Rowan Deposit, in the Red Lake district of Ontario, Canada.

We start off with the big picture lay of the land across the Madsen Mine area, and then vector in on the new high-grade gold results from the 4447 Zone and 904 Complex areas at South Austin.   Will also highlights the speed at which their team can turn a geologic thesis, into drill results, and then get that data into the mine plan, with their improving understanding of the geological model and underground infrastructure advantages.

We also review the planned work to develop the 13-level exploration drift to get over into parts of Austin, East Drive, and Derlak areas that haven’t had good underground access for drilling.  The ultra high-grade 8-Zone is reviewed again, with Will pointing out that the narrow zone of mineralization is open in both directions and more exploration along trend is required.

Moving up closer to surface, we spend some time outlining how their exploration and engineering teams completed a re-evaluation of the Fork deposit pointing to its shallow, high-grade, low-plunging zone of gold mineralization that is located approximately 250 meters southwest from existing underground development at Madsen.  The exploration team did another 3,000 meters of definition drilling from surface last year, which demonstrated in the value in eventually tunneling over from McVeigh into some of the high-grade areas of mineralization while also looking for mineralized extensions.  Then even further over from Fork is the historic producing Starratt-Olsen mine, which has shown promising high-grade gold mineralization at depth and will be getting some exploration focus in the year to come.

Rounding it out at surface, Will flagged a number of other priority greenfields exploration targets like North Shore, Upper 8, Faulkenham, and Killoran.  These areas have returned compelling mapping, soil sampling, and limited drilling in the past, and warrant more follow up in the exploration seasons to come.
