[{"type":"text","content":"West Red Lake Gold Reports Positive Bulk Sample Reconciliation Results\n\n\n\n VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 07, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --\n \n West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd.\n \n\n (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG)\n \n\n (OTCQB: WRLGF)\n \n is pleased to report positive reconciliation results from the bulk sample program at its 100% owned Madsen Mine located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.\n \n\n\n Highlights\n \n\n\n\n The bulk sample carried an average grade of 5.72 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”), 0.7% above the average predicted grade of 5.68 g/t Au for six stopes across three areas.\n \n\n 14,490 tonnes of bulk sample produced 2,498 ounces of gold\n \n\n Gold recovery in the Madsen Mill averaged 95%\n \n\n\n\n\n “Delivering tonnes and grade from the mine that align almost exactly with expectation validates all the work we have done to unlock the tremendous value in the Madsen Mine,” said Shane Williams, President and CEO. “This achievement underlines that Madsen is on track to become a new high-grade gold mine in 2025 and I want to thank the team at Madsen for their dedicated efforts.”\n \n\n “We acquired Madsen because we believed an accurate geological model, detailed engineering design, and disciplined mining practices would enable exactly this – a mine that delivers to plan. I am extremely pleased to deliver these bulk sample results and I look forward to ramping up operations at the Madsen Mine in the coming months.”\n \n\n The bulk sample included material from three main resource zones at Madsen - Austin, South Austin, and McVeigh - and followed the workflow and methodology to be implemented during regular mine operations. Close reconciliation between predicted and actual grades and tonnages highlight the effectiveness of definition drilling and detailed stope design in informing accurate modelling of gold mineralization. West Red Lake Gold has completed over 90,000 metres of definition drilling since October 2023 and the high-confidence tonnes resulting from this ongoing program currently make up approximately 90% of the 18-month detailed mine plan.\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n Figure 1: Madsen Mine long section showing bulk sample locations aga...
