WEST RED LAKE GOLD DRILLS 26.97 GRAMS OVER 4.0 METRES

West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. has released positive drill results including 26.97 grams per tonne over four metres from its recent exploration program on the company's 3,100-hectare West Red Lake project located in the prolific Red Lake gold district, 20 kilometres west of the town of Red Lake in Northwestern Ontario, Canada. The company is pleased to report it drilled 10 exploration holes which successfully intersected the Rowan mine gold zones. (See attached diamond drill hole summary.)

Drill program highlights:

• 26.97 grams per tonne over four metres;
• 162 grams per tonne over 1.5 metres;
• 28 grams per tonne over 1.1 metres.

The exploration program was successful in confirming the continuity of the high-grade zones and advancing the project toward outlining a potential gold resource at the Rowan mine. The Rowan mine is located in the centre of West Red Lake Gold's property position. A 12-kilometre portion of the Pipestone Bay-St. Paul deformation zone crosses the company property and hosts the Rowan mine gold system. Good potential exists to expand the Rowan mine gold zones along strike and to depth.

All 10 holes intersected gold values in a pervasive quartz vein structure hosted within mafic volcanics. The gold distribution within the quartz vein structure is consistent with Archean lode gold deposits, which have produced the majority of the gold that have been mined in the primary Ontario gold mining districts including Red Lake and Timmins.

Key exploration targets:

1. Deepening the Rowan mine gold zones below 150 metres along a strike length of 600 metres east from the Rowan mine shaft, coincident with the geological structure known as the Pipestone Bay-St. Paul deformation zone (PBS zone). The PBS zone is the east-west-trending geological structure which hosts the three former-producing gold mines situated on the company property. The PBS zone is a regional shear zone that trends across the West Red Lake project and then continues east for 20 kilometres to the town of Red Lake;
2. Extension of the Rowan mine gold system for an additional 400 to 500 metres farther to the east along the PBS zone to the intersection with the regional-scale Newman Todd structural zone (NT zone). The western edge of the NT zone is approximately one kilometre east of the Rowan mine shaft;
3. Structural target at the intersection of the two regional-scale gold-bearing structures, the PBS zone and the NT zone. This exploration target area is approximately 2,000 metres in length, and is situated between one and three kilometres east of the Rowan mine shaft. A similar intersection of two regional structures occurs 20 kilometres farther to the east, proximal to the Campbell mine and Red Lake mine.

Exploration plans

The next stage of drilling is being designed to extend the Rowan mine gold zones farther to the east for an additional 400 to 500 metres along the PBS zone to the area where it intersects with the NT zone. The NT zone trends on to the West Red Lake project from the neighbouring property to the south, where recent exploration work by an unrelated exploration company has outlined a gold resource on its property. The intersection of these two major regional structures presents a highly prospective exploration opportunity.

Technical information

The information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Ken Guy, PGeo, a consultant to West Red Lake Gold and the qualified person responsible for the exploration program at the Rowan mine property, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 standards of disclosure for mineral projects.

All drilling were completed using NQ-sized core. Gold analysis of the samples collected by West Red Lake Gold was assayed by Activation Laboratories Ltd. Analysis consisted of a fire assay of a 30-gram sample with an atomic absorption finish. Samples assaying over 10 grams per tonne gold are reassayed with gravimetric finish. Samples noted to contain visible gold are analyzed via total metallic assay method. A rigorous quality control and assurance program is in place using control samples, including blanks and standards.
