About this update from Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nTORONTO, Aug. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd (TSX: WDO) is\n pleased to announce encouraging early results from its recently started\n deep drilling program at its 100%-owned Eagle River Mine, located 50 km\n due west of Wawa, Ontario.\n\n\nDrilling is being conducted from a recently established exploration\n drift located in the hangingwall on the 670 metre level in the western\n portion of the mine.  The purpose of the drilling is to confirm the\n depth potential of the high grade 811 Zone and evaluate future\n development options.  The deepest mining level in the 811 Zone is\n currently 765 metres.  On the 765 metre level, the 811 Zone averaged\n 36.61 gAu/tonne (with high assays cut to 140 gAu/tonne) with an average\n width of 2.13 metres and a length of 142 metres.  This is defined by\n grade control chip sampling of development rounds.\n\n\nPreliminary drilling has been completed on two sections 75 metres\n apart.  A third has commenced.\n\n\nEARLY RESULTS CONFIRM:\n\n\n\n811 Zone structure confirmed to depths of 1,200m highlighted by hole\n EU-701 which cut 78.43 gAu/tonne over a true width of 1.73 metres.\n\n\nA new zone (7 Zone) identified approximately 200 metres north of the 811\n structure highlighted by:\n\n\n\nHole EU-693 26.85 gAu/tonne over 3.45m true width\n\n\nHole EU-694 30.15 gAu/tonne over 1.52m true width\n\n\n\nA second new zone (300 Zone) identified approximately 400 metres north\n of the 811 structure highlighted by:\n\n\n\nHole EU-695 21.73 gAu/tonne over 2.42m true width\n\n\nHole EU-696 20.24 gAu/tonne over 1.38m true width\n\n\nHole Eu-697 10.20 gAu/tonne over 1.51m true width\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA complete list of results is provided in the following table with the\n location of drilling provided on the accompanying longitudinal section\n available at www.wesdome.com.\n\n\nGeorge Mannard, VP Exploration, commented \"It's still very early in the\n game, but we are excited about the potential implications of parallel\n zones and that the 811 structure persists to at least 1,200 metres\n depth.  We will be drilling here at least until year end in an effort\n to delineate and define these zones.  They are visually strong,\n distinctive and traceable shear-zone hosted quartz vein systems - Eagle\n River's hallmark.\"\n\n\nDrilling comm...
