GOLD: Wesdome drills high grades at old Kiena mine

QUEBEC – Wesdome Gold Mines of Toronto has drilled very high gold grades at the suspended Kiena mine in Val d’Or. The longest intersection was 94.35 g/t Au over 17.40 metres uncut (18.03 g/t cut) in hole U-6124.

Other holes returned 223.12 g/t Au over 14.26 metres (18.59 g/t cut), 238.81 g/t over 5.00 metres (15.71 g/t cut), and 8.43 g/t over 8.2 metres (3.82 g/t cut). George Mannard, VP exploration, commented, "These early results exceed expectations, and these rich veins are unlike anything previously encountered at this property. Three holes have been completed to date hitting four high grade intersections. More drilling is underway and is required to define the geometry, true widths and extent of this extraordinarily rich mineralized system.” Detailed results from the latest Kiena underground drilling are available www.Wesdome.com in the news release dated Aug. 24, 2016.
