Western Exploration Inc. (OTCQX: WEXPF; TSXV: WEX) generates a steady flow of technical and corporate news centered on the advancement of its 100%-owned Aura gold-silver project in Nevada. Investors following WEXPF news will see detailed updates on drilling, resource estimates and economic studies across the project’s three deposits: Doby George, Gravel Creek and Wood Gulch.
Recent news releases highlight reverse circulation drill programs along the Tomasina Fault Zone near Wood Gulch, where Western Exploration reports widespread clay alteration, silicification and quartz–sulfide veining consistent with a low-sulfidation epithermal system. The company has disclosed multiple intercepts with gold grades above 3.0 grams per tonne over a strike length of roughly 1.5 kilometers, as well as key target areas such as the GAP Zone and Hammer Head that remain to be tested.
Western Exploration’s news flow also covers technical milestones, including an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Doby George oxide gold deposit and an updated mineral resource estimate for Gravel Creek and Wood Gulch. The company has reported a 54% increase in inferred gold-equivalent resources and an 83% increase in inferred silver ounces at Gravel Creek, tied to a high-grade vein discovery in Jarbidge rhyolite and a revised geologic model.
In addition, WEXPF news items describe permitting and de-risking steps, such as engaging Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to prepare a Notice of Intent and Mine Plan of Operations for Aura, and ongoing baseline environmental and engineering work. For investors and analysts, the WEXPF news page offers a centralized view of exploration results, resource updates, technical report filings and project development activities at the Aura Project.
Western Exploration Inc. (TSXV: WEX; OTCQX: WEXPF) announced positive results from its surface exploration program at the Aura Project's Gravel Creek resource area. The program highlighted high-grade intercepts of up to 40.05 g/t Au and 1,951 g/t Ag, supporting further drilling in NE-trending structural zones. The geochemical data indicates significant exploration potential, extending 2 km NE of Gravel Creek. CEO Darcy Marud expressed strong confidence in expanding the resource base, particularly as the data enhances understanding of high-grade vein controls. The integration of structural alteration and geochemical data will help target additional mineralization.

Western Exploration (TSXV:WEX) (OTCQX:WEXPF) announced assay results from its Phase I drill program at Doby George, Nevada, revealing high-grade gold and silver deposits. Notably, Hole DGC794 reported 26.06 meters of 6.93 g/t gold, highlighting the project's significant potential. The Aura Project contains extensive resources, including 652,271 gold equivalent ounces in the Indicated category and 665,357 ounces in the Inferred category. The company has successfully completed 836 drill holes with favorable metallurgy for cyanide heap leach processing. Recently, it raised approximately $1,140,000, with shares trading at $1.90.
Western Exploration Inc. has reported positive assay results from its Phase 1 drill program at the Doby George deposit, part of the Aura Project in Nevada. Drill holes DGC794, DGC795, and DGC796 demonstrated significant gold mineralization, with DGC794 revealing 26.06 meters of 6.93 g/t Au. The results confirm high-grade, near-surface oxide gold mineralization, encouraging further metallurgical tests and a Pre-Feasibility Study in 2023. The company plans step-out drilling to explore additional high-grade areas, with potential drilling of 5,000 to 10,000 meters in new geological zones which may expand resource estimates dramatically.
