(Wesdome Gold Mines)[/caption] QUEBEC – Wesdome Gold Mines of Toronto has released more results from the underground definition and exploration drilling at the Kiena Deep A zone at the Kiena mine complex in Val d’Or. With assays cut to 90.0 g/t gold, the grades are in the bonanza territory:

• Hole 6456: 68.2 g/t gold over 19.0-metre core length (28.1 g/t cut, 14.4 metres true width);
• Hole 6450 (A2 zone): 126.3 g/t gold over 4.3-metre core length (23.6 g/t cut, 3.8 metres true width);
• Hole 6449: 44.5 g/t gold over 9.0-metre core length (17.0 g/t cut, 7.3 metres true width);
• Hole 6449 (A1 zone): 37.6 g/t gold over 4.6-metre core length (28.5 g/t cut, 4.5 metres true width); and
• Hole 6505: 52.7 g/t gold over 4.7-metre core length (32.0 g/t, 4.3 m true width).

Four drills are operating on the 1050-metre level exploration ramp. Definition drilling has confirmed the overall continuity of the geometry and the high grade of the deep mineralization. The Deep A zone is now known to extend over 700 metres along plunge. A fifth drill is working from the 670-metre level. Wesdome plans to have a  an updated Kiena resource by the end of this year. Consideration is also being given to an exploration drift to be driven to the 790-metre level. More information about the historic Kiena mine is posted at www.Wesdome.com.
