(Image: Wesdome Gold Mines)[/caption] QUEBEC – Toronto-based Wesdome Gold Mines continues to intersect high grades as drilling goes on at the Kiena mine complex in Val d’Or. Drills are testing the Kiena Deep A zone, with excellent results not yet reflected in a resource estimate. Ongoing drilling is expanding the Kiena Deep A zone both up and down plunge. Here are some highlights:
  • Hole 6404: 18.2 g/t gold over 11.0 metres core length (18.2 g/t gold cut, 6.0 metres true width) A2 zone;
  • Hole 6406: 66.4 g/t gold over 10.4 metres core length (23.4 g/t gold cut, 5.2 metres true width);
  • Hole 6419: 16.8 g/t gold over 9.1 metres core length (16.8 g/t gold cut, 8.5 metres true width);
  • Hole 6421: 51.3 g/t gold over 10.3 metres core length (25.0 g/t gold cut, 3.1 metres true width);
  • Hole 6427: 18.3 g/t gold over 12.9 metres core length (18.3 g/t gold cut, 4.8 metres true width); and
  • Hole 6446: 81.3 g/t gold over 3.1 metres core length (24.8 g/t gold cut, 3.0 metres true width).
Gold was first discovered at what became the Kiena gold mine and mill in 2011, and its history has been on-again/off-again since then. Wesdome restarted production in August 2006, and the mine yielded 1.8 million tonnes of ore averaging 3.4 g/t gold for 200,000 oz. recovered before it was again closed in 2013. The Kiena Deep discovery came in 2016. Read what Wesdome president and CEO has to say in the news release dated April 25, 2019, posted at www.Wesdome.com.
