[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, June 2, 2021 /CNW/ - West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. (\"West Red Lake Gold\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: RLG) (OTCQB: RLGMF) (FSE: HYK) is pleased to announce that exploration work is continuing at the West Red Lake Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Sixteen drill holes targeting gold mineralization from surface to the first level of the Rowan Mine have been completed and samples sent out for assay. The objective of the drill program is to outline a potential bulk sample to be accessed from surface in the vicinity of the Rowan Mine Shaft. A surface sampling program is now underway with a series of channel samples along a 200 m strike length above the 16 recently drilled holes. The surface samples together with the drill core samples and historic first mine level samples can assist in designing a potential surface bulk sample. The northeast trending NT Zone is comprised of the southern portion which is 1 km in length; the northeastern portion which is an additional 1 km in length; and the northwestern portion which appears to have been disrupted and folded at the intersection with the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone. On the northeastern 1 km portion of the NT Zone, a series of holes are planned to be drilled from east to west through the Porphyry Hill Zone and into the main body of the NT Zone. The southern 1 km portion of the NT Zone begins at the south property boundary and has been explored by the Company over the previous two years with 40 shallow drill holes (see news release of February 18, 2021). Surface sampling is also planned for this summer on the southern portion of the NT Zone. Mr. John Kontak, President of West Red Lake Gold Mines stated \"We are very pleased to be exploring the NT Zone for gold mineralization further along strike and to carryout work to further enhance the Rowan Mine deposit.\" The West Red Lake Project property is situated in the Red Lake Archean Greenstone Belt which hosts the high-grade gold mines of the Red Lake Gold District. Twenty kms to the east 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 West Red Lake Project - which hosts three former gold mines.
