| ABSTRACT: | TORONTO, July 17, 2018 -- Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. (TSX:WDO) (“Wesdome” or the “Company”) today announces additional high grade results from the Kiena Deep A Zone, and plans for additional underground ramp development to test the on strike and down dip potential that remains open. New drilling results from seven drill holes continue to return high grade values from multiple zones comprising the Kiena Deep A Zone. The new holes support the northern and southern extensions of the mineralization beyond a 350 metre strike length as identified by previous drilling announced in a news release dated June 26, 2018. Highlights of the new drilling are listed below and summarized in Table 1 Following the continued success of the ongoing diamond drill program in the Kiena Deep A Zone, the Company announces it will extend the current exploration ramp by 450 metres at a cost of $2.4M. The additional development is planned to be completed early in Q4 and is required to explore the possible plunge extension of the Kiena Deep A Zone to the northwest, southeast and down dip. The new development will allow diamond drilling to be completed from a more optimal direction (i.e. to the northwest) to intersect the steeply plunging zone to the southeast and provide drilling platforms that will allow definition drilling in the central area of the Kiena Deep A Zone. The enhanced drill platforms will also facilitate the drilling of several step out exploration holes to illustrate the potential expansion of the zone. Mr. Duncan Middlemiss, President and CEO commented, “Following the continued success of the Kiena Deep A Zone underground drilling program, we have decided to immediately extend drill drifts located off of the ramp by 450 metres, in order to effectively test the size of this deposit, and complete infill drilling more quickly. The planned 104 and 105 drift extensions are favourably located in an area to commence mining and development of the possible up plunge extension of the A Zone in any restart scenario. The 102 and 104 drifts will be developed first, and diamond drilling will commence from these platforms once completed. A fourth drill will then be moved from the VC Zone to the Kiena Deep A Zone in late Q3. The cost of the ramp extension will be funded internally, without material increases to the 2018 budget. We remain committed to developing a resource estimate in the fourth quarter and this development will greatly aid our understanding of this exciting discovery.” | |
