Hole RLG-25-201 showed 14.42g/t gold over a span of 5.5m within vein 006b from depths of 102.25–107.75m, including a more concentrated section of 32.93g/t gold from 105.75m to 107.75m

Furthermore, hole RLG-25-200 targeted vein 018 hanging wall, with an intersection revealing a concentration of 24.44g/t gold over 1.5m from 116.4m to 117.9m, including an interval with 70.3g/t gold from 116.9m to 117.4m.

West Red Lake Gold Mines president and CEO Shane Williams said: “We continue to view Rowan as a key piece in our vision for creating a district-scale hub and spoke operation in Red Lake and the assay results received to date from the current drilling programme are further reinforcing our confidence in this high-grade satellite deposit.

“While the current drill programme at Rowan is focused on infill to prepare for the upcoming planned pre-feasibility study, our geology team sees excellent potential for continuing to expand this deposit along strike and at depth.

“Red Lake gold systems have deep roots and we believe the vein system at Rowan will continue to grow with additional drilling. West Red Lake is fortuitous to have a portfolio of 100%-owned quality assets in a premier jurisdiction that will support our vision of becoming a 100,000oz per year gold producer in Red Lake by 2028.”

In November 2025, West Red Lake Gold Mines commenced a fully funded infill drilling programme at its wholly owned Fork deposit, situated around 250m south-west of the company’s Madsen mine in the Red Lake Gold District.
