(\"West Red Lake Gold\" or the \"Company\") (CSE: RLG) (OTCQB: RLGMF) (FSE: HYK) is pleased to announce that exploration diamond drilling and surface channel sampling programs are planned at the West Red Lake Gold Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Company is planning an initial spring/summer drill program to be followed by additional drilling in the fall. The spring/summer program will consist of a series of holes to target gold mineralization in the Porphyry Hill Zone, which is situated in the northeast portion of the NT Zone. During the summer months, additional surface channel sampling is planned at Zone 104D, proximal to the Rowan Mine Shaft. This work will follow up on recently reported surface sampling for the purpose of increased definition of gold zone mineralization that was undertaken in 2021 (see news release dated December 2, 2021). 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 t grading 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.). The Company also plans to collect surface channel samples from the southern portion of the NT Zone in the area of high-grade drill intercepts from shallow drilling previously reported by the Company (see news release dated February 18, 2021). The NT Zone is approximately 100 m wide and trends north-east from the south property boundary for a distance of 2 kms to where this regional scale structure intersects with the east-west trending PBS Zone. The area of planned exploration work on the northeast portion of the NT Zone is located approximately 300 m southeast of the Rowan Mine Gold Deposit. Mr. John Kontak, President of West Red Lake Gold Mines stated \"We look forward to starting our drill program this spring at the Porphyry Hill Zone with the objective of expanding the gold mineralization along the northeast portion of t...
