(TSX:WDO, OTCQX:WDOFF) (“\n \n Wesdome\n \n ” or the “\n \n Company\n \n ”) today provides an update on its exploration activities at its wholly-owned Eagle River mine (“\n \n Eagle River\n \n ”) near Wawa, Ontario, Canada (Figures 1 and 2).\n \n\n Anthea Bath, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We're highly encouraged by the latest underground exploration results at Eagle River, particularly in the 6 Central Zone, which has now been extended by 300 metres to over 600 metres down-plunge. High-grade intercepts over mineable widths are reminiscent of early drill results at similar depths in Eagle River’s 300 Zone, and the zone’s location at intermediate depth near existing infrastructure supports its potential for future resource conversion.\n \n\n “Work also remains on track across other underground targets. At Falcon 311, drilling is extending mineralization down-plunge and to the west, while early surface drilling at Falcon 720 has returned visible gold and anomalous intercepts. In the 300 Zone, structural reinterpretation indicates the 300 Fold Zone comprises discrete mineralized lenses on a separate structure, with high-grade trends open down dip and laterally. This reinterpretation is consistent with publicly disclosed models for other Archean orogenic systems in the Michipicoten belt (e.g. Island Gold), where high-grade mineralization occurs as discrete stacked lenses on separate shear splays and remains open laterally and at depth. This opens new exploration avenues with high-grade trends continuing down dip and laterally. Drilling will continue into 2025 to follow up on these promising developments.\n \n\n “Regionally, drilling across multiple targets continues to validate our exploration model. High-grade surface drilling results near the 6 Zone and 2 Zone to the east, together with encouraging intercepts at IP anomalies to the west, point to strong potential for extensions. Additionally, ongoing drilling at Dorset, Birch Vein, Cameron Lake Iron Formation, and Eagle Rive...
