SASKATOON, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - George Sanders, President of Wescan Goldfields
Inc. ("Wescan") reports that diamond drilling has resumed at the former Jasper
mine on the 100% owned Fork Lake property in the La Ronge gold belt in
northern Saskatchewan. A total of 3600 metres in 7 drill holes is planned
before Christmas. The program will test the strike and plunge extensions of
the newly identified Deep Jasper (DJ) zone and an area approximately
350 metres below the 1-04 Stope (the most northerly mined out stope). Wescan
recently reported several mineralized drill intercepts in the DJ zone and that
four of six drill holes contained visible gold.
The program will also probe for the down dip, down plunge extension of
the DMZ zone. This is a parallel structure to the Jasper Zone but occurs
300 metres east. The DMZ structure has been traced on surface by previous
operators for 2.5 kilometres. The June 2003 report by A.C.A. Howe
International Limited reports that previous operators obtained surface values
of up to 0.904 oz Au/ton over 3.7 metres. Wescan plans to test the structure
at a vertical depth of 250 metres.
Baseline sampling of water and waste rock has begun in preparation for
permitting of an underground exploration program.
The diamond drill program is designed, supervised and reported on by
