[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nNov. 18, 2009 (Canada NewsWire Group) -- VAL D'OR, QC', Nov. 18 /CNW/ -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd (\"Wesdome\") is pleased to release results of a further 14 drill holes completed on the Dubuisson discovery located three kilometres east of Wesdome's Kiena mine. These results complement the first batch of 2009 drilling results released on September 8, 2009, and available at www.wesdome.com. The purpose of the drilling program is to establish continuity of mineralization within a new gold discovery, initially identified by widely-spaced drilling in the fall of 2008, and to provide stepout drilling to trace the extent of the mineralization.Table 1 provides significant results from the infill/continuity drilling while Table 2 lists significant results from the stepout drilling. The drill hole locations and current interpretation are provided in Figure 1 and Table 3.Highlights include the following intersections:- 9.9 metres at 10.51 gAu/tonne in hole S557,- 10.0 metres at 7.37 gAu/tonne in hole S557A,- 10.5 metres at 5.00 gAu/tonne in hole S558,- 12.5 metres at 4.42 gAu/tonne and4.0 metres at 7.85 gAu/tonne in hole S559,- 8.0 metres at 7.00 gAu/tonne and6.0 metres at 5.82 gAu/tonne in hole S560To date, reasonable continuity has been interpreted for two subparallel, subvertically dipping zones. One of these has been traced to depths of up to 300 metres and demonstrates attractive grades and widths over at least 100 metres of strikelength. The second also shows strong grades over at least 100 metres along strike yet is currently identified only at shallow depths. Drilling is currently focused on establishing its depth potential.Stepout drilling has identified widespread alteration and mineralization however, to date, continuity of potentially economic grades and widths have not yet been established.Table 1 Infill/Continuity Drilling (nominal 50 metre spacing)Significant Assay Results (greater than 1.0 gAu/tonne)-------------------------------------------------------------------------CoreFrom To Length* Grade CommentHole No. (m) (m) (m) (gAu/tonne)-------------------------------------------------------------------------S553 No Significant Assays - hole abandonedat 110.5m--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------S553A 115.7 116....
