West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. of Toronto announces that it has started drilling on its 3100-ha West Red Lake Project, located 20km west of Balmertown, in the Red Lake Gold District of Northern Ontario.
The property is situated on the Red Lake Archean Greenstone Belt which hosts the high-grade gold mines of the Red Lake Gold District. The target zone is a regional scale east-west trending geological structure which includes the gold zones at the Rowan Mine, which is situated on strike and approximately 1km west of the Structural Intersection.
A second regional gold bearing structure, the NT Zone, trends onto the property from the southwest and then trends towards and intersects with the PBS Zone (the “Structural Intersection”) approximately 1 km east of the Rowan Mine zones.
Twenty km to the east, a similar geologically important intersection of two regional gold-bearing structures occurs proximal to the Red Lake Mine and Campbell Mine, providing a highly favourable geological model and illustrating the significant exploration potential for high-grade gold zones on the company’s West Red Lake Project.
The initial holes are planned to be drilled to the north from surface with depths ranging from 100m to 250m below surface.
