Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. announced additional drill results from the recently discovered zone hosted in volcanics west of the mine diorite and additionally from mineralization identified along the eastern margin of the mine diorite at the Company's wholly-owned Eagle River Mine (Eagle River) in Wawa, Ontario. The intervals are significant in that they are broader than what is typical for Eagle River, which bodes well for potential mineability. In October, the company announced initial drill results that returned high grade gold values west of the mine diorites.

Follow up drilling has confirmed that the zone extends to the 900-metre level and remains open down plunge. Additionally, several of the most recent intersections are wider in width than is typical for the Eagle River mine, often greater than 5 metres true thickness. Furthermore, distribution of gold grades are generally more consistent across the zone than in the mine diorite.

The definition and expansion of this new discovery will remain a priority for drilling in the coming months. West side of the mine diorite, expanding the newly discovered Falcon 311 zone: Hole 857-E-03: 15.1 g/t Au over 8.7 m core length (15.1 g/t Au capped, 6.7 m true width); Hole 857-E-01: 9.5 g/t Au over 7.1 m core length (9.5 g/t Au capped, 5.8 m true width); Hole 857-E-09: 18.4 g/t Au over 1.6 m core length (within 18.4g/t Au capped over 0.6 m true width). All assays capped at 125 g/t Au.

True widths are estimated based on 3D model construction. East of the mine diorite, near the historic 6 zone, initial drilling has identified gold mineralization in volcanics, confirming its theory that volcanic rocks along this trend are a host for gold mineralization, particularly in proximity to the diorite contact. Initial drill results from the East side of the mine diorite, near the historic 6 zone: Hole 758-E-412: 122.5 g/t Au over 1.7 m core length (93.5 g/t Au capped, 1.5 m true width); Hole 580-E-93: 32.1 g/t Au over 1.7 m core length (32.1 g/t Au capped, 1.5 m true width); Hole 580-E-88: 29.2 g/t Au over 1.7 m core length (within 29.2 g/t Au capped over 1.6 m true width).

All assays capped at 125 g/t Au. True widths are estimated based on 3D model construction. Both of these new volcanic-hosted zones have the potential to extend from surface and down plunge to depths equal to that of the neighbouring 300E Zone that has been tested to 1,500 vertical metres below surface.
