[{"type":"text","content":"Includes 2023 Updates to Goals & Objectives VANCOUVER, British Columbia / Jan 17, 2023 / Business Wire / Western Exploration Inc. (TSXV: WEX; OTCQX: WEXPF) (the \"Company\" or \"Western Exploration\") is pleased to provide additional assay results for the final four holes from the 2022 Phase 1 drill program at Doby George, one of three main mineral deposits located at the Company's wholly-owned Aura Project, located in Elko County, Nevada. DRILL HIGHLIGHTS Drill hole DGC794 intersected 26.06 meters of 6.93 g/t Au and 12.34 meters of 4.57 g/t Au Drill hole DGC795 intersected 30.94 meters of 2.07 g/t AuFA Drill hole DGC796 intersected 16.76 meters of 2.12 g/t Au Western Exploration CEO Darcy Marud said, \"We have now received assay results for all nine drill holes completed at Doby George in 2022. The assay results demonstrate remarkable continuity of high-grade, near-surface, oxide gold mineralization at Doby George. Western Exploration has long believed in the higher-grade potential at Doby George and the Phase 1 drill program completed in 2022 has confirmed this belief.” “The results of the Phase 1 drill program will be used to complete further metallurgical test work with the view of advancing the Doby George deposit to a Pre-Feasibility Study. In addition, we anticipate following up these high-grade intersections with additional step-out drilling in both oxide and unoxidized areas of Doby George in 2023,” continued Marud. The complete results for holes DGC794, DGC795, DGC796 and DGC797 are reported below in Table 1 below, along with the assay results previously reported on October 2, 2022 and December 8, 2022. 2022 DRILL PROGRAM SUMMARY The Phase 1 drill program was comprised of nine large diameter (PQ) core holes which were completed between July 26, 2022, and September 12, 2022. The drill holes were located at eight different drill sites for a total of 1,138 meters in drilling at the Doby George deposit (see Figure 1 and Table 2 below). The purpose of the Phase 1 drill program was to evaluate areas within, and adjacent to, the current resource boundary to: Validate and delineate current mineral resources. Locally assess for the expansion potential and structural controls on mineralization. Provide samples for metallurgical test work to outline leach kinematics, as well as mineralized material and waste rock charac...
