West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. announce that exploration diamond drilling is continuing at the West Red Lake Gold Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The Company is currently drilling a series of 16 shallow holes to target gold mineralization from surface down to the first level of the Rowan Mine. The objective is to outline a potential bulk sample which could be accessed from surface. Very little drilling has previously taken place above the first level. Historic first level sampling together with surface sampling indicate good potential for a gold-rich bulk sample to be extracted sometime in the future. Approximately 200 m of strike length near the Rowan Mine Shaft is prospective for potential surface bulk sampling. The area being drilled begins at the mine adit at the east end of the first mine level and along the mineralized strike length of the Rowan Mine Gold Deposit to the west. Drilling is targeting Zones 103C and 104D which are parallel and separated by a distance of 20 m. These two zones are exposed at surface approximately 30 m above the first mine level at the location of the Rowan Mine Shaft.
