[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\n Stock Symbol: WGF: TSX-VEN\n\nSASKATOON, SK, April 7 /CNW/ - Wescan Goldfields Inc. (\"Wescan\") is\npleased to report that recent drilling on the Jasper project, located in the\nLa Ronge gold belt of Saskatchewan has confirmed the continuation of the Deep\nJasper (DJ) Zone to the north of the former mine workings. Two of the three\ncompleted drill holes that targeted the DJ zone have significant gold\nintersections (see below for assay results) and these positive results\nindicate that the DJ Zone extends for at least another 50 meters in strike\nlength from what was previously reported. The DJ zone has now been tested by\nwide spaced drilling over a strike length of 250 metres and over a vertical\ndistance of 250 metres. This drilling phase also intersected two gold-rich\nfootwall zones (JN Footwall Zone and the JN East Zone). These two new zones\nare parallel to and occur approximately 75 and 150 meters (respectively) to\nthe east of the DJ Zone (see below for assay results) and represent additional\nfuture exploration targets.\nThe phase III drill program also tested the south strike continuation of\na gold mineralized outcrop which assayed 23.36 g/t Au discovered during last\nyears prospecting program at the northern tip of Damnation Lake. The outcrop\noccurs approximately 1.6 km northwest of the former Jasper Mine. Drill holes\nDL-06-03 and DL-06-09 intersected significant gold mineralization to a\ndistance of approximately 900 meters south of the outcrop. This zone (the\nTransect Zone) represents a regional northeast lineament that transects\nintrusive and volcanic rocks and is spatially associated with the previously\nidentified Joyce, Transom Central, Transom West, Boulder and Lost Bay Linear\ngold showings over a 7-10 kilometre strike length.\nIn addition, one drill hole, JS-05-21B, tested the DMZ zone, a structure\nlocated 400 metres East of the Jasper shear, at approximately 200 meters depth\nand intersected a 127 meter interval that hosts several shear zones with local\nquartz veining, up to 0.15% copper and is locally anomalous with gold.\nExploration Manager, Frank Hrdy, states: \"The DJ Zone has proven to be\ncontinuous and predictable, hosting significant gold mineralization in\npractically every drill hole. The character of the mineralization and the\ndrill-delineated size of the current resource is ...
