  • The new data is being integrated into an updated vein model to revise the Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) in the coming weeks.
  • West Red Lake Gold plans to integrate the updated Rowan model into a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) design for the Madsen Mine & Rowan Project to evaluate shared infrastructure & synergies.
  • Conversion drilling on Veins 001 & 004 aims to upgrade Inferred resources to Indicated, while infill drilling on Veins 006b & 013 targets mine design integration.
  • Inclusion of Veins 006b & 013 could extend mine life & potentially start ore extraction 6 months earlier, positively impacting Net Present Value (NPV).
  • Advanced Exploration permits targeting underground mine development are expected in 2027 under Ontario's "One Project, One Process" framework.
  • The company acquired mining claim #925557 (approx. 41 hectares) contiguous to the Mount Jamie target for $2,000 cash & 10,000 shares.
  • Current NI 43-101 resources include 478,707 tonnes Indicated (12.78 g/t Au) & 421,181 tonnes Inferred (8.73 g/t Au) at a 3.80 g/t Au cut-off.
  • Quality Assurance/Quality Control protocols involve HQ diamond core, systematic logging, 5% insertion rate of standards/blanks, & fire assay analysis by ALS Thunder Bay.
  • The 2025-2026 program de-risked the vein system & demonstrated upside in areas with limited historic data.
