(\"Winston Gold\" or the \"Corporation\") (CSE:WGC)(CSE:WGC.CN)(OTCQB: WGMCF) is pleased to announce drill results from the historic high-grade Custer Vein, on the Company's wholly-owned Winston Gold Property, near Helena Montana. This is in addition to recently announced drill results from the Edna Vein system on the same property (refer to press release dated January 23rd 2017).\n Ten holes were drilled from two pads located north of the Custer Mine shaft (Refer to attached map). Highlights of the results include:\n \n \n Hole W1720 intersected 4.4 ft. averaging 0.55 ounces per ton (opt) gold, (18.86 gram/tonne gold).\n Hole W1721 hit 6.5 ft. averaging 0.19 opt gold, (6.51 g/t gold).\n Hole W1757 cut 4.5 feet of 0.47 opt gold, (16.11 g/t gold). \n \n \n The intercepts indicate that the strike and dip of the Custer Vein is changing in the area of drilling, so true widths cannot be calculated. Two of the holes hit stopes in the old mine.\n Historic reports indicate that the old Custer mine was worked over a strike of 2,400 feet (731 metres). Based on the drilling to date, Winston Gold Mining has demonstrated a potentially mineralized strike length of 530 ft. (161.5 metres) along the Custer Vein from hole W1724 to hole W1721 with a potential vertical extent of as much as 180 ft. (54.8 metres).\n \"We believed that the vein system continued below the old mine workings and our recent drill results prove this to be the case,\" commented Murray Nye, CEO and Director of Winston Gold Mining. \"We have confidence that there is still excellent potential to extend mineralization along strike and to depth under the Custer vein.\"\n Additional details of the drill intercepts (refer to attached drill plan map):\n \n \n Starting from drill Pad 16, holes W1724 and W1725 roughly intersected the 336 ft. level of the old mine workings. W1724 intersected 2 ft. averaging 0.09 opt (3.09 g/t) gold and hole W1725 cut 2 ft averaging 0.20 opt (6.86 g/t) gold.\n Moving to southwest to drill Pad 14, hole W1760 broke into a 15 ft. (4.6 metre) void with no mineralization in the hanging wall.\n Hole W1758, on th...
