Wesdome Gold Mines has reported significant exploration results from its Eagle River Mine near Wawa, Ontario, following over 105,000 metres of surface and underground drilling in 2024. The company highlighted several key achievements:
At the 6 Central Zone, drilling extended the resource envelope down-plunge by 70% (250 metres) and identified a parallel zone with high-grade potential. The 300 Zone, currently the mine's primary reserve source, showed continued high-grade mineralization and successful down-plunge extension.
Notable intercepts include 180.0 g/t Au over 2.4m at 6 Central Zone and 36.4 g/t Au over 4.0m at 300 Zone. A new IP survey identified multiple anomalies west of the diorite, indicating additional mineralization potential.

The company also plans to advance its global resource model initiative to unlock near-surface mineralization through historic data digitization and alternative mining methods.
