September 19, 2018 (Source) — West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”) (CSE: RLG) (FSE: HYK) (OTCQB: RLGMF) announces that its joint venture partner Red Lake Gold Mines, a subsidiary of Goldcorp is carrying out a surface exploration program on the Company’s West Red Lake Project located in the Red Lake Gold District, Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
The initial stage of the program consists of surface work on the Rowan Mine Property to explore stratigraphy, structure and the character of controls of known mineralization with a focus on refinement of the geological setting and target generation based on data analysis and field mapping.
The program emphasis will be on the Red Summit intrusion, the potential regional scale Hinge Zone and the interpreted west-northwest (“WNW”) high strain corridor.
The Red Summit intrusion is a grano-diorite intrusion with associated gold mineralization located approximately 3km east of the Rowan Mine Shaft and is situated within the regional scale Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
The Hinge Zone is situated on the west side of the northeast trending Golden Arm Structure where it folds to the west-northwest and intersects with the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
The interpreted WNW high strain corridor is composed of discrete high strain portions of the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
The surface exploration work is being carried out during August and September 2018. Subject to positive results, the Company may test new targets with drilling as part of the planned fall exploration program.
Three former gold mines on the West Red Lake Project property are situated on the east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone, a regional geological structure which crosses the Company property and continues east to the town of Red Lake. The regional scale Golden Arm Structure and the sub-parallel NT Zone cross onto the West Red Lake Project from the south boundary and trend northeast for 2 km to where they merge and intersect with the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
