West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQX: WRLGF) is pleased to report drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine (the “Madsen Mine” or “Madsen”) located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, commented, “We are pleased to announce another round of impressive assay results from our ongoing underground definition drill program at Madsen.
asserted
We → comment → Madsen
The mineralized panels within the 904 and 955 complexes are holding together quite well with strong grades and continuity demonstrated across multiple areas.
asserted
panels → hold → areas
These results continue to build our confidence in the geological model and the potential for these areas to be integrated into the Madsen mine plan in 2027.
asserted
areas → continue → 2027
Importantly, these complexes are located close to existing underground infrastructure, with the 904 complex representing non-remnant mineralization, meaning we are now advancing into fresh, previously unmined material, providing additional flexibility as we continue to define and advance mining inventory.
asserted
we → locate → inventory
The results from Austin 904 Complex reported herein were all drilled from the 13 and 14 Levels of the Madsen Mine at approximately 650 metre (“m”) and 700m depth, respectively.
asserted
results → report → depth
These 904 results are in addition to those announced on July 7, 2026 which highlighted 10.22 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 13.35m, and on April 13, 2026 which highlighted 215.46 g/t Au over 5.35m, 50.34 g/t Au over 4.05m and 61.70 g/t Au over 3m, and on February 25, 2026 which highlighted 219.73 g/t Au over 4.8 m, 148.36 g/t Au over 3m and 133.13 g/t Au over 2.5m.
asserted
which → announce → m.
The results from the Austin 955 Complex were drilled from the 12 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 600m depth.
asserted
results → drill → depth
These 955 results are in addition to those announced on July 7, 2026 which highlighted 43.48 g/t Au over 3.85m and 53.87 g/t Au over 3.1m.
The Austin 904 represents a unique opportunity within the Madsen deposit, comprising an approximately 200m by 200m panel of intact gold mineralization that was not historically mined.
asserted
that → announce → mineralization
This is rare for the Madsen deposit and places WRLG in a favorable position to have full access to the entire mineralized zone for mining which is expected to result in larger stopes and increased efficiency during design and extraction.
asserted
which → place → design
This intercept was complemented by a large clot of visible gold associated with biotite alteration within a quartz-porphyry dike (Figure 1).
asserted
intercept → complement → dike
- Hole MM26D-13-4727-013 intersected 4.5m @ 128.32 g/t Au, including 1m @ 566.81 g/t Au.
asserted
MM26D-13 → intersect → Au
This intercept was complemented by visible gold associated with pyrrhotite, biotite alteration and quartz-carbonate veining (Figure 2).
asserted
intercept → complement → pyrrhotite
- Hole MM26D-12-4990-019 intersected 6.85m @ 35.72 g/t Au, including 1m @ 233.76 g/t Au.
asserted
MM26D-12 → intersect → Au
This intercept was complemented by stringers of visible gold running along foliation (Figure 3).
asserted
intercept → complement → foliation
- Hole MM26D-14-4929-001 intersected 6.2m @ 17.87 g/t Au, including 3.1m @ 35.02 g/t Au.
asserted
MM26D-14 → intersect → Au
*The “From-To” intervals in Table 1 are denoting overall downhole length of the intercept.
asserted
intervals → denote → intercept
The gold assay results presented are uncapped values.
asserted
results → present → ?
True thickness has not been calculated for these intercepts but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole length based on intercept angles observed in the drill core.
asserted
thickness → calculate → core
Internal dilution for composite intervals does not exceed 1m for samples grading <0.1 g/t Au.
asserted
dilution → exceed → Au
Like the other mineralized domains that comprise the Madsen Mine, the Austin structures are hosted within broad, kilometre-scale planar alteration and deformation corridors that have been repeatedly reactivated during gold mineralization and subsequent deformation and metamorphism.
asserted
that → comprise → mineralization
At the deposit scale the Austin, South Austin, North Austin, and McVeigh Zones are locally folded and structurally dismembered by transposition and rotation into the penetrative S2 Foliation.
asserted
Zones → fold → Foliation
In addition to this intense deformation overprint, the mineralized veins and alteration have been subjected to the relatively high temperatures of amphibolite facies metamorphism, which led to extensive recrystallization and growth of the skarn-like replacement mineral assemblage of diopside-amphibole-quartz-biotite.
asserted
which → subject → biotite
The North Austin Zone displays ‘mine-style’ alteration and mineralization and consists of multiple mineralized domains defined over a strike length of 0.5km.
asserted
Zone → display → km
Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike to the northeast.
asserted
Mineralization → remain → northeast
In drill core, or at underground face exposures, gold-bearing zones at the Madsen Mine are best identified visually by fine (sub-millimetre) grains of free gold within strong alteration and veining.
asserted
zones → bear → alteration
All high-grade intervals generally contain visible gold on drill core exteriors, although numerous examples exist of high-grade assays where visible gold was only identified within the interior (cut surface) of the core samples.
asserted
gold → contain → samples
Apart from the presence of free gold, pervasive silicification (locally accompanied by discrete quartz veining) and quartz-carbonate or diopside veining are the best indicators that a given interval is within a high-grade zone along/within the mineralized structure.
asserted
interval → accompany → structure
The current underground drilling program at the Madsen Mine is focused on further definition of near-term mining inventory, as well as growth of the current mineral resource.
asserted
program → focus → resource
Drilling has been focused on the more continuous and higher-grade portions of the Austin and South Austin Zones.
asserted
Drilling → focus → Zones
It is anticipated that this will continue to be the strategy through 2026.
asserted
this → anticipate → 2026
