(“Winston Gold” or the “Corporation”) (CSE:WGC) (OTCQB:WGMCF) is pleased to announce the remaining drill results from a 10-hole drilling campaign it commenced in August on the Company’s wholly-owned Winston Gold Property, near Helena Montana. Results for holes W75 and W77 were reported in the Oct 26th 2017 press release.\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Updated Drill Plan Map\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n “These drill results continue to expand the size and continuity of both the Parallel and Block 93 veins,” commented Murray Nye, CEO and Director of Winston Gold Mining.  “Both veins remain open for expansion along strike as well as to depth. We also continue to intersect what appear to be discontinuous veins situated between the Block 93 and the Parallel veins. Our geologists believe these veins may represent an anastomosing (loosely braided) vein system rising-up from a lower source structure. A few well-placed underground drill holes would help validate this theory.” Due to the variable nature of the vein orientations, the true width of mineralization in the following drill intercepts is not known at this time. Hole W78 was drilled from the Edna drill pad and was designed to intercept the Block 93 and Parallel veins. It was successful on both counts. A 5.5 ft. interval of the Parallel vein was intersected at a down-hole depth of 275 ft. and averaged 0.467 oz./ton gold (16.01 grams per tonne (g/t) gold).  This intercept added 21 ft. of strike length to the Parallel vein for a total distance of 406 ft. Hole W78 also cut a 5-ft. interval of the Block 93 vein averaging 0.180 oz./ton gold (6.17 g/t gold) at a down-hole depth of 140 ft. This intercept verified the continuity of the Block 93 vein but due to the drill’s orientation, it did not increase its overall dimensions. Hole W79 was drilled from the Open Pit drill pad and targeted the Block 93 vein. The vein structure was intersected but it yielded no significant assays. Another unknown vein was intersected in the footwall of the Block 93 vein at a down-hole depth of 331 ft. It averaged 0.132 oz./ton gold (4.53 g/t gold) over 6 ft. Hole W80 was also drilled from the Open pit drill pad. It intersected a 3-ft. interval of mineraliza...
