[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Kirkland Mining Inc. (TSXV:WKM) (“West Kirkland” or “Company”) reports the results of a further 345 composite surface samples from Gold Mountain, each taken across an interval of 20 feet and focused on areas of high interest identified by the extensive surface sampling completed by the Company in May, and reported in June 2018. Gold Mountain is located less than a mile from the Company’s Hasbrouck Gold Project reserves. These latest assays are supportive of the continuous high-grade gold sections reported by the Company on June 7, 2018 and provide greater confidence in targeting 23 boreholes the Company is planning to drill in July and August 2018. NEW ASSAY RESULTS FROM SEALEY RIDGE, GOLD ZONE, & ADIT AREA These new results support the Company’s exploration efforts to add at-surface ounces.

The initial drill program will be focussed near-surface (0 – 200 ft, 60 m) along the 3,000 ft (900 m) target (labelled 1-3 in map below). Textures and controls for gold mineralization fit the classic low-temperature “epithermal” near-surface formation model, similar to the nearby Hasbrouck deposit and reserves. Boreholes will be low-cost and relatively short, to depths between 100 to 200 ft (30 to 60 m), collaring in mineralization. Further surface sampling will be completed as targets are opened for drilling. If supported by results of this drilling, deeper holes will be drilled in a second round of drilling. Targets are controlled by clearly identified structures, and gold values are found at the higher elevations of these structures. Historic boreholes collared in mineralization and drilled prior ...
