West Red Lake Gold Drills 904 Complex Hitting 215.26 grams per tonne Gold over 5.35 Metres
We plan to keep two drills turning in the 904 Complex for the remainder of 2026, providing continuous news flow and updates as they become available.
Austin 904 Drill Results
Canada, 15th Apr 2026– Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On April 13, 2026, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) announced drill results from the Austin 904 Complex at its Madsen Mine Project in Ontario, Canada.
Situated at the bottom of Main Austin, starting at approximately 650 metres depth, the 904 Complex is a high-grade panel of mineralization, about 200 square metres, the equivalent of seven regulation NFL football fields.
This area has seen very little mining historically, leaving the main mineralized zone mostly intact. That is expected to allow for larger stopes and more efficient development and extraction from this high-grade area.
“The 904 Complex in lower Austin is steadily growing into a very important part of the future at Madsen,” stated Will Robinson, VP of Exploration in the April 13, 2026 press release. “Having only just gained access to this area for drilling in late 2025, the results received to date are highly encouraging.
High Grade Gold Highlights
“For historic comparison,” continued Robinson, “The High-Grade Zone discovery by Goldcorp Inc. in Red Lake was initially established on nine holes with a weighted average grade of 311 grams per tonne gold, uncapped, over 2.3 metres[1] – we already have multiple results received to date out of 904 that exceed these grades and thicknesses.”
Previously released 904 highlights include 11.2 metres @ 26.16 g/t gold, 3.55 metres @ 37.87 g/t gold, 7.8 Metres @ 139.45 g/t gold, 7.7 metres @ 18.31 g/t gold, 8.7 metres @ 74.70 g/t gold, 4.3 metres @ 30.16 g/t gold.
Also, 4.75 metres @ 219.73 g/t gold, 2.5 metres @ 133.13 g/t gold, 3 metres @ 148.36 g/t gold, 5 metres @ 36.06 g/t gold, 3.15 metres @ 41.90 g/t gold.
In the video below, Robinson breaks down the significance of the April 13, 2026 904 Complex drill results.
Exploration Update And Analysis
“I want to provide a little bit of background information on the news we just put out today,” stated Robinson in the YouTube explainer video. “We’re announcing some very exciting drill results from the Lower Austin area, and a new area that we’ve been defining, called the 904 Complex.”
“These results come from our definition drilling programs that are ongoing at Madsen. The holes were drilled from the 13 level in the Madsen Mine, which is at approximately 650 meters depth. The deposit was mined, historically, down to around 1,300 meters depth.”
“We find ourselves at about the halfway point,” continued Robinson. “We’re starting to tap into some high tonnage, less remnant areas of the mine. That’s one of the things about the 904 Complex that is so important. It’s essentially a 200 by 200-metre panel of gold mineralization that remains mostly intact.”

True thickness has not been calculated, but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole length based on intercept angles observed in the drill core.[2]
Production Outlook And Market
[2] Mineral resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 3.38 g/t Au and a gold price of US1,800/oz. Please refer to the technical report entitled “NI 43-101 Technical Report and Prefeasibility Study for the Madsen Mine, Ontario, Canada”, prepared by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and dated January 7, 2025 (the “Madsen Report”). A full copy of the Madsen Report is available on the Company’s website and on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca.
“Most of the mining that we do at Madsen occurs in proximity to remnant workings and historic development,” stated Robinson in the explainer video. “Having access to a large area of un-mined mineralization will benefit us greatly. We’ve only drilled 30 meters down into the 904 complex panel. We still have roughly 170 meters of vertical extent to continue defining this high potential area.”
“We plan to keep two drills turning in the 904 Complex for the remainder of 2026, providing continuous news flow and updates as they become available,” concluded Robinson.
Exploding global debt is threatening the stability of fiat currency. Gold, unlike cash, can not be generated through government policy or financial engineering. A weakened US dollar is bullish for gold.
Gold Market And Growth
“The country with the largest debt—$39 trillion and counting—is the United States,” writes WRLG founding strategic investor Frank Giustra on March 23, 2026. “Interest on that debt now exceeds defense spending.”
“With over $10 trillion in U.S. debt maturing in the next 12 months and the 10-year yield approaching 4.5%, the massive $1 trillion in interest costs the U.S. absorbed last year are set to climb even higher.”
“I am quite certain that the price of gold, as measured in fiat currency, can only rise dramatically in years to come,” added Giustra.
2025 was a “ramp-up year” that saw the Madsen Mine pour 20,147 ounces of gold, sold at an average price of US$3,650 per ounce, yielding total gold sales revenue of US$73 million (C$99 million).
Production Performance Update
WRLG declared commercial production at the mine on January 1, 2026. Since then, production has continued, and the price of gold has increased from US$4,330 per ounce to US$4,750 per ounce.
The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Will Robinson, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for West Red Lake Gold and the Qualified Person for exploration at the West Red Lake Project, as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Robinson is not independent of WRLG.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is West Red Lake Gold Mines?
West Red Lake Gold Mines is a mining company focused on gold exploration and production in Ontario, Canada. It operates projects like the Madsen Mine. In addition, it conducts drilling programs to define mineral resources and assess future extraction potential.
2. What is the 904 Complex at the Madsen Mine?
The 904 Complex is a mineralized zone within the Madsen Mine. It is located in the Lower Austin area at about 650 metres depth. In addition, it represents a largely unmined section of gold mineralization under active exploration.
3. What were the recent drill results at the 904 Complex?
West Red Lake Gold Mines reported drill intercepts of 215.26 grams per tonne gold over 5.35 metres. These results come from ongoing drilling. In addition, they help define the grade and extent of mineralization.
4. What does “grams per tonne (g/t)” mean in gold drilling results?
Grams per tonne (g/t) measures gold concentration in rock. For example, 215.26 g/t shows how many grams of gold exist in one tonne of ore. As a result, it helps estimate deposit value.
5. Why is the 904 Complex considered significant?
The 904 Complex is significant because it contains largely intact mineralization. It has limited past mining. In addition, this may support efficient planning and further resource definition.
6. How deep is the drilling at the 904 Complex?
Drilling occurs at about 650 metres depth in the Madsen Mine. However, exploration has covered only part of the vertical zone. Therefore, further depth evaluation continues.
7. How long will drilling continue at the 904 Complex?
West Red Lake Gold Mines expects drilling to continue through 2026. It plans to use two drills. In addition, it will release updates as new results come in.
8. What is the purpose of ongoing drilling at the Madsen Mine?
West Red Lake Gold Mines uses drilling to define size, grade, and continuity of mineralization. In addition, this data supports resource estimates and future mining plans.
9. How does the 904 Complex compare to previous gold discoveries?
Company data shows that some results match past discoveries in the Red Lake district. However, further drilling is still needed. In addition, this will help confirm scale and continuity.
10. What factors influence gold production at the Madsen Mine?
Several factors influence production. These include mineral grade, drilling results, and resource estimates. In addition, planning and market conditions also play key roles.
