Focused on the Deep A zone, recent work has extended the zone both up and down plunge. The Deep A zone has yielded the following highlights since the recent resource estimate:

• Hole 6384A: 33.7 g/t gold over 30.6 metres core length (28.4 g/t cut, 15.0 metres true width)
• Hole 6378: 36.5 g/t gold over 7.0 metres core length (18.4 g/t cut, 5.0 metres true width)
• Hole 6392: 153.4 g/t gold over 1.4 metres core length (35.4 g/t cut, 1.3 metres true width)
• Hole 6402: 51.9 g/t gold over 7.6 metres core length (17.9 g/t cut, 7.6 metres true width)
• Hole 6409: 39.8 g/t gold over 4.7 metres core length (20.0 g/t cut, 3.6 metres true width)
• All assays cut to 90.0 g/t Au. True widths are estimated.

The latest resource estimate was published in December 2018. The Deep A zone has 310,300 indicated tonnes at 9.95 g/t gold and 656,100 inferred tonnes at 11.43 g/t. Contained ounces are estimated at 99,300 and 241,100 oz., respectively. For the entire Kiena complex, the measured and indicated resource is 1.0 million tonnes grading 6.38 g/t gold for 211.100 contained oz. The inferred portion is 968,900 tonnes at 9.28 g/t for 287,400 contained oz. Readers will enjoy the January 2019 corporate presentation posted at www.Wesdome.com.
