West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. [TSXV: WRLG; OTCQB: WRLGF; FSE: UJ0] released positive results from the 2024 regional surface mapping and geochemical sampling program across its 100%-owned Madsen property in the Red Lake gold district of northwestern Ontario, Canada.
Highlights: The program at Madsen was focused on the Confederation Assemblage of rocks, which remained mostly unexplored until West Red Lake completed this first phase of work. The Confederation rocks are known to host significant gold mineralization in the Red Lake district, including Kinross Gold’s Great Bear project, located approximately 24 kilometres southeast of Madsen.
The program consisted of 1,460 till samples and 42 channel samples, as well as 69 representative lithologic samples collected to support the geological mapping program.
Six anomalous areas were defined with a geochemical signature of Au-W-As-Ag-Bi (gold-tungsten-arsenic-silver-bismuth), which is analogous to the geochemical signature of Madsen-style alteration and mineralization. The most compelling of these targets is the North Shore anomaly which has already demonstrated high prospectivity from limited drilling completed in 2024, as well as its spatial association to the Russet Lake ultramafic (RLUMAF). The area beneath the strongest part of the anomaly has never been drilled and will be a top target for 2025.
Geologic resolution and understanding within the Confederation Assemblage was greatly enhanced through the detailed mapping program and will be a valuable data set for advancing targets within this package of rocks.
