[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - April 28, 2022 – Westward Gold Inc. (CSE:WG), (CNSX:WG.CN), (OTC:WGLIF), (FSE:IM50) (“Westward” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a recap of the last 12 months of activities in Nevada, as the Company looks forward to the commencement of its inaugural 4,000-meter drill campaign slated for June. Colin Moore, CEO of Westward, noted: “It’s been one year now since the Company announced its move into Nevada, and in that time – in addition to nearly tripling our total land package – our technical team has made immense progress building out a robust database of information.
