Following on the heels of the highest-grade intercept ever drilled across the Rowan Property, the team successfully intercepted what is believed to be the same high-grade zone approximately 80 metres down-dip

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - October 13, 2023 —

Global Stocks News – In a press release dated October 11, 2023, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV:WRLG) (OTC:WRLGF) reported additional drill results from its 100% owned Rowan Property located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. 

The company’s flagship asset - The Madsen Gold Mine – is debt free, fully permitted, with a brand-new 800+ tonne per day mill, a tailings and water treatment facility. [1.]

Their 100% wholly owned Rowan Gold Project is the company’s other asset, located approximately 15 kilometers as the crow flies from the Madsen mill. WRLG believes there are synergies between the high-grade resources at Rowan and the Madsen mill.

October 11, 2023 Drilling Highlights:

  • ·Hole RLG-23-166B Intersected 2 metres @ 45.20 g/t Au, from 297m to 299m; and 4 metres @ 6.78 g/t Au, from 191m to 195m.
  • ·Hole RLG-23-164 Intersected 0.5 metres @ 101.60 g/t Au, from 204.5m to 205m; and 1.35 metres @ 33.47 g/t Au, from 131m to 132.35m.
  • ·Hole RLG-23-159 Intersected 2.3 metres @ 12.81 g/t Au, from 262.85m to 265.15m; and 2.1 metres @ 12.43 g/t Au, from 247.4m to 249.5 m.
  • Hole RLG-23-169 Intersected 1.5m @ 14.61 g/t Au, from 506m to 507.5m, Including 0.5m @ 42.62 g/t Au from 506m to 506.5m.

WRLG CEO Shane Williams has designed, built and operated mines (open pit and underground) in Greece, Turkey and Canada - for Skeena Resources, Eldorado Gold and Rio Tinto. He has a stellar track record of moving mineral assets into production.

“We are seeing continuation of the mineralization at Rowan,” Williams told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “From Veins 100 and 101 in particular, we are getting good hits. My geological team is excited about the potential of these veins as we move forward.”

“Following on the heels of the highest-grade intercept ever drilled across the Rowan Property, the team successfully intercepted what is believed to be the same high-grade zone approximately 80 metres down-dip,” stated Williams.

“This represents one of the deepest holes drilled within the high-grade East Zone and bodes well for future expansion opportunity at Rowan as the team continues to extend this highly prospective mineralized vein zone at depth and along strike.”

“The drilling completed at the Rowan Mine Target in 2023 has been focused on validating historical data across the Inferred Resource, and also infilling apparent gaps in the analytical data set which was a product of very selective sampling techniques implemented during previous drilling campaigns,” stated WRLG.

“Assay results received from the 2023 drilling program continue to confirm our thesis that quartz veining and gold mineralization continue at depth and along strike, with grades consistent with, or higher than those outlined in the current Inferred Mineral Resource which remains open in all directions”.

“For example, the 100 Vein Zone – which is the furthest north vein currently modeled within the overall Rowan vein corridor – was previously interpreted to be a lower grade portion of the block model. Recent drilling has confirmed that higher grades are present within the 100 Vein Zone below 150 metre elevation, suggesting that gold grades are increasing at depth within this zone which is a trend that has been observed elsewhere in the Red Lake district”

Drilling at the Rowan Mine Target area will continue with an emphasis on infill and expansion of the existing high-grade mineral resource.

“Originally, Rowan started as an early-stage exploration project,” Williams told GSN. “It was a narrow vein, high grade deposit. As we advance the drill program, we're getting deeper into the system. It's opening up and exceeding our initial expectations. We've drilled good holes higher in the deposit. The October 11, 2023 press release reports good gold values deeper down.”.

“We are seeing continuation of mineralization,” continued Williams. “We believe it is growing into a bigger deposit. We no longer think of it as a small satellite deposit, but potentially a significant feed source for our Madsen project.”

A total of 42 diamond drill holes for 15,772m have been completed so far in 2023 at the Rowan Mine target. Fire and metallic screen assays have been returned for 35 out of 42 holes completed, with 2 holes having partial assay results and 5 holes pending assays and QAQC.

“I have enjoyed working on greenfield projects, but my deepest expertise and passion is building bridges between advanced exploration and production,” Williams told GSN. “Financing, permitting, mine design, mine optimisation - that’s my bread and butter. We have a assembled a world class team. That is what we are all focused on: putting the Madsen Gold Project back into production.”

Unbeaten 49ers edge Seahawks while Vikings stay perfect

LONDON, United Kingdom — San Francisco scored three touchdowns off Seattle turnovers and the unbeaten 49ers edged the reigning Super Bowl champions 32-29 on Sunday while Minnesota improved to 5-0 as well. Eddy Pineiro's 44-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining gave the 49ers the final margin and San Francisco's defense forced a turnover on downs with 47 seconds remaining to beat their NFC West division rival. Thirty-eight points -- 21 by the Niners -- scored off seven turnovers, four by Seattle, were the most in an NFL game since 2017. Mike Evans caught seven passes for 113 yards, including a two-yard touchdown toss from Brock Purdy after a Renardo Green interception and a crucial two-point conversion. "Toughness and heart," Evans said. "We've got a locker room full of those guys. We knew it was going to be a dogfight. They're a great team. We showed we're a great team as well." Fred Warner knocked lose a fumble by Emanuel Wilson that Malik Mustapha recovered one play before Christian McCaffrey ran for a San Francisco touchdown. Gracen Halton recovered a George Holani fumble in the end zone to give the 49ers a 21-13 halftime lead. Seattle's Nehemiah Pritchett picked off Purdy to set up Sam Darnold's 16-yard touchdown pass to Jaxson Smith-Njigba to give Seattle a 23-21 lead. Purdy flipped a seven-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks and the conversion to Evans for a 29-26 49ers' lead, only for Jason Myers to equalize from 40 yards on his fifth field goal, setting up the final drama. The Minnesota Vikings stayed undefeated with a 23-13 triumph at New Orleans. Justin Jefferson snagged a superb touchdown catch under triple coverage and Aaron Jones ran for 113 yards and a touchdown for the Vikings. Also undefeated are the Kansas City Chiefs (4-0), who are idle this week. An epic overtime blunder by Washington resulted in a 27-27 tie with the New York Giants. After recovering a Giants fumble deep in Washington territory, the Commanders made a final drive, but Jayden Daniels was stopped on a late run rather than throwing an incompletion to halt the clock. Washington, with no timeouts, could not prevent time from running out before setting up a field goal attempt. "Leaving with a tie feels like a loss," said Commanders coach Dan Quinn, whose team led 27-13. "We have to stop the clock," Daniels said. "Ultimately, it's on me." Cam Little kicked a 57-yard field goal on the final play to give Jacksonville a 19-17 victory over Philadelphia in London. Jake Elliott booted a 48-yard field goal with eight seconds remaining to lift Philadelphia ahead 17-16, but Ameer Abdullah raced 53 yards on the ensuing kickoff return and was tackled with one second remaining to set up Little's kick. "It was just a roller coaster," Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence said. "It was pretty crazy." The Green Bay Packers thumped arch-rivals Chicago 31-7 as Jordan Love completed 25-of-31 passes for 367 yards and two touchdowns and the Bears surrendered five turnovers. New England routed visiting Las Vegas 45-17 as Drake Maye completed 26-of-34 passes for 374 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score. Aaron Rodgers threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns as host Pittsburgh beat Indianapolis 34-22. Texans get Harrison  Detroit's Jared Goff threw for 271 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another while Jahmyr Gibbs ran for 151 yards and two touchdowns in Detroit's 45-21 romp at Arizona. Braelon Allen ran for 116 yards and the winning fourth-quarter touchdown to power the New York Jets over Cleveland 17-12. Bo Nix threw for one touchdown and J.K. Dobbins ran for another as visiting Denver beat the winless Los Angeles Chargers 23-17. The Houston Texans, who landed receiver Marin Harrison in a trade with Arizona, snapped their winless streak with a 26-3 victory over Tennessee. The hapless Titans sank to 0-5 as did the Miami Dolphins, who fell 31-24 to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Alex Eala slips one spot to No. 19 in WTA rankings

MANILA, Philippines -- Filipino tennis sensation Alexandra "Alex" Eala slipped one spot to No. 19 in the latest Women's Tennis Association (WTA) official rankings on Monday. Dropping from a career-high rank No. 18, Eala sports 2,241 points with her latest place in the leaderboard. Belgian Elise Mertens leaping from No. 19 to 14 with 2,540 points caused Eala's slight descent. Eala first achieved the No. 18 rank which is also the highest among Southeast Asians in WTA Tour history on August 24. The 21-year-old eclipsed former Southeast Asian stars in Indonesian Yayuk Basuki and Thai Tamarine Tanasugarn who both peaked at No. 19. Basuki reached No. 19 in October 1997 while Tanasugarn matched it in May 2002. Eala reached the No. 18 rank after a fourth-round finish at the Canadian Open and a third-round campaign at the Cincinnati Open. Elena Rybakina (9,696) stayed at the top of the WTA leaderboard followed by Aryna Sabalenka (7,550) and new No. 3 Mirra Andreeva (6,371). Andreeva elevated from No. 5 to No. 3 after a runner-up finish at the China Open. Jessica Pegula (6,225) and Coco Gauff (5,974) rounded out the top five. Meanwhile, Eala was set to start her singles campaign at the 1000 Wuhan Open on Monday evening. Eala was to face Chinese qualifier and world No. 217 Han Shi around 9 p.m. Eala will also see action in doubles with close pal Zeynep Sönmez. The Filipino-Turkish tandem will clash against the Ukrainian duo of Anhelina Kalinina and Dayana Yastremska in the first round likely on Tuesday. Eala and Sönmez last teamed up at the Madrid Open last May in Spain where they made a second-round finish.

Letran braces for surging Mapua in NCAA crossover round

MANILA, Philippines —  Colegio de San Juan de Letran, the Group B leader in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament, needs to overcome Mapúa University in the crossover round to retain its hold on top of the standings on Monday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan. The Letran Knights (4-2) look to pick up back-to-back wins when they face the Mapúa Cardinals (3-3) at 3 p.m., followed by Jose Rizal University’s (JRU) (5-1) clash and Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) (2-4) duel at 5 p.m. Playing without Titing Manalili, who suffered a right-knee injury on Friday, Letran must find a way to get past the Cardinals, who are riding a three-game winning streak. Mapúa opened the season with three straight losses but has since bounced back with big wins over San Beda, Arellano, and EAC. Veteran Marc Cuenco led the way in their most recent victory against EAC with 28 points, while Ivan Lazarte added 24. On Letran’s side, Manalili has been a key playmaker. He finished with 23 points and 12 assists in the Knights’ win over Lyceum on Thursday. With him sidelined, Letran will bank on Jimboy Estrada and Denzil Walker to counter Mapúa’s sharpshooting duo of Cuenco and Lazarte. After their clash, the JRU Heavy Bombers look to pick up their fourth straight win against the EAC Generals. The Generals look to play catch up in the standings when they face the tough JRU side. JRU’s Lawrence Mangubat and Chris Hubilla eye to overpower EAC’s duo of EJ Castillo and Wilmar Oftana.
