About this update from West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQX: WRLGF) is pleased to announce the commencement of a fully funded surface drilling program at the historic past-producing Starratt-Olsen Mine (“Starratt”) located approximately 1.1 kilometers (“km”) southwest of its 100% owned Madsen Mine in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. HIGHLIGHTS: Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, commented, “Following a highly successful drilling season at Rowan and Fork, we are maintaining our momentum by moving the surface drill to the past-producing Starratt-Olsen Mine. Given that underground development is now underway at Fork and the deposit is advancing toward inclusion in the Madsen production profile in 2027, it is logical to continue defining new resources along this main southwestern structural corridor. Starratt represents our next major stepping stone along this prospective trend as we systematically unlock the full value and exploration scale across the Madsen property.” FIGURE 1.
