SASKATOON, Nov. 3 /CNW/ - George Sanders, President of Wescan Goldfields
Inc. ("Wescan") is pleased to report that recent step out drilling has
confirmed a new gold zone at the Jasper project, located in the La Ronge gold
belt of Saskatchewan. The holes were drilled to approximately 350 meters north
and 250 metres deeper than the former mine workings. This new zone, called the
Deep Jasper Zone ("DJ"), validates Wescan's model that the continuity of high
grade gold mineralization extends both down plunge and along strike. Visible
gold is reported in 4 of the 6 drill holes completed and the width of the main
gold-hosting structure increases to the north and down plunge - away from the
previous mine working. In addition, the most northern drill holes (JS-05-19
and JS-05-20) both intersected a footwall zone that assayed 4.29 g/t and
63 g/t, over 0.85 and 0.35 meters respectively. These drill holes also confirm
the continuation of a sub-parallel wide mineralized shear zone ("Roxy Zone")
80-100 meters west of the main Jasper Zone to a depth of about 400 meters
below surface and to a width of up to 50 meters.
Highlights of the mineralized intersections are presented in the
following table:

Note 2: "vg" is highlighted in column 5 of the table above if visible
gold is reported in the drill log.
The drill holes in the DJ zone cover an area of approximately 200 metres
laterally and 250 metres vertically. The DJ zone is currently open to the
north and at depth.
A follow up drill program has been permitted and a drill crew is
currently being mobilized. A total of 3,600 metres of drilling is planned
before the end of December, 2005 to test the extension of the DJ Zone and the
newly discovered footwall zone and the Roxy Zone. In addition, this drilling
will test the continuation of gold mineralization hosted in a parallel
mineralized shear zone that occurs approximately 400 meters to the east of the
main gold-hosting shear zone at Jasper called the ("DMZ" Zone).
Assaying was completed at TSL Laboratories Inc. in Saskatoon,
Saskatchewan.
