[{"type":"text","content":" Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - June 20, 2022) - West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. (CSE: RLG) (OTCQB: RLGMF) (FSE: HYK) (\"West Red Lake Gold\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that a program of closely spaced surface channel sampling has commenced on the Rowan Gold Deposit at the West Red Lake Gold Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The current sampling program is being performed on Zone 104D in the area of the Rowan Mine Shaft to follow up on high grade gold results from surface sampling reported on December 2, 2021. The closely spaced surface samples are being taken from the gold zone with the purpose to further define the potential for extraction of high-grade gold mineralized material from surface. The sampling area along a 125 metre (\"m\") portion of Zone 104D is situated on the top of a hill approximately 35m above the water table. The recent initial set of results from a wider spaced sampling program reported on December 2, 2021 included 149.64 grams per tonne (\"gpt\") over 1.0m, 45.68 gpt over 2.0m, 60.41gpt over 1.2m and 49.32 gpt over 1.3m. The Rowan Mine Gold Deposit consists of several, near vertical, gold zones within a 1,800 m portion of the east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone (\"PBS Zone\") and hosts a gold resource (NI 43-101 Rowan Mine Mineral Resource: 4,468,900 tonnes graded 7.57 gpt Au for 1,087,700 inferred oz of Au from the Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the West Red Lake Project dated February 16, 2016 authored by John C. Archibald, B.Sc., P.Geo., Peter Bevan, P.Eng., and John Kita, P.Eng.). Mr. John Kontak, President of West Red Lake Gold stated, \"We are pleased to be following up on the high grade results from surface at the Rowan Gold Deposit with additional work designed to enhance the prospect for surface mineable high grade gold mineralization.\" The Rowan Mine property is situated in the Red Lake Archean Greenstone Belt which hosts the high-grade gold mines of the Red Lake Gold District. Fifteen kms to the east of the Company property are the world class Red Lake Mine and Campbell Mine, which have a geologically similar setting illustrating the exploration potential for high-grade gold zones on the Company's West Red Lake Project - which hosts three former gold mines.
