Toronto, ON – January 28, 2021 – West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. (CSE: RLG) (OTCQB: RLGMF) (FSE: HYK) (“West Red Lake Gold” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that exploration diamond drilling is planned to continue throughout 2021 on the West Red Lake Gold Project located in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.
During the first quarter of 2021, West Red Lake Gold plans to drill along the northern 1 km of the NT Zone as follow-up to successful drill results generated over the southern 1 km portion of the NT Zone during 2019 and 2020. The northern portion of the NT Zone continues to trend north-east before it folds around to the north-west and to the north side of the Rowan Mine. The folding of the NT Zone occurs where it intersects with the east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone (“PBS Zone”) which hosts the Rowan, Mount Jamie and Red Summit Mines which are all located on the West Red Lake Project property.
During 2021, after drilling the north-eastern 1 km portion of the NT Zone, West Red Lake Gold plans to carry out deeper drilling below positive results previously reported in the southern 1 km portion of the NT Zone.
Mr. John Kontak, President of West Red Lake Gold Mines stated, “We are very pleased to begin to explore the second kilometer of the NT Zone for expansion of gold mineralization further along the geological strike to the north-east. After the expansion drilling along strike takes place, the Company also plans to expand the entire 2 km strike length of the NT Zone to greater depth”.
West Red Lake Gold also plans to drill approximately 10 shallow holes to target gold mineralization above the first level of the Rowan Mine. Only minimal drilling has been undertaken to date in the area where historic sampling on the first mine level and at surface indicate good potential for a gold-rich surface bulk sample sometime in the future. (NI 43-101 Rowan Mine Mineral Resource: 4,468,900 tonnes grading 7.57 gpt Au for 1,087,700 inferred oz of Au from the Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the West Red Lake Project filed on February 18, 2016 authored by John C. Archibald, B.Sc., P.Geo. and Peter Bevan, P.Eng., and John Kita, P.Eng.).
The Company also announces the grant of 2,900,000 options at an exercise price of $0.12 for a term of 2 years to service providers.

West Red Lake Project Highlights
The Company property is situated on the Red Lake Archean Greenstone Belt, which hosts the high-grade gold mines of the Red Lake Gold District.
The 3100 hectare West Red Lake Project has 12km of strike length on the regional east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone. Three former gold mines – Rowan Mine, Mount Jamie Mine, and Red Summit Mine – are all situated along the deformation zone on the Company property.
A second regional gold bearing structure, the NT Zone, trends northeast on to the property and intersects with the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone approximately 1km east of the Rowan Mine.
Fifteen km to the east of the West Red Lake Project a similar intersection of two regional gold bearing geological structures occurs proximal to the world-class Red Lake Mine and Campbell Mine, providing a favourable geological model. This similar structural intersection illustrates the significant exploration potential for high-grade gold zones on the Company’s West Red Lake Project.
Exploration work is focused on drilling high grade gold zones at the West Red Lake Project.
Geologically, the West Red Lake Project is situated at the west end of the Red Lake Gold District which is comprised of a series of six metavolcanic/metasedimentary supracrustal assemblages intruded by several bodies of variable size, form, and composition. All of the assemblages have undergone several phases of deformation and metamorphism. The rocks, of Mesoarchean and Neoarchean age, form part of the larger Uchi Subprovince of the Superior Province of the Canadian Shield. At least two major deformation events have affected the rocks of the Red Lake Gold District resulting in the generation of interference fold structures on all scales. Major gold deposits in the Red Lake Gold District are associated with regional scale deformation zones. The most significant deposits occur where two of the regional structures intersect.
ADDITIONAL DETAILS
ROWAN MINE PROPERTY
The Rowan Mine property is comprised of 119 claims. A joint venture with Evolution Mining includes 117 of these claims and the other two claims, which host the Red Summit Mine, are owned 100% by the Company. The joint venture claims are 64% owned by West Red Lake Gold and 36% owned by Evolution Mining, and include 50 patented, 18 leased, and 49 staked claims. The Rowan Mine property hosts significant regional gold bearing structures which intersect near the former producing Rowan Mine. The Rowan Mine was in development from the late 1930s to the 1950s with mine workings consisting of a vertical shaft, three levels including an adit on the first level, and underground exploration of drifting and raising along several gold zones.
NT ZONE
The NT Zone is located on the Rowan Mine Property portion of the West Red Lake Project. The NT Zone trends north-east from the south property boundary for a distance of 2 km and then appears to fold around to the north-west where this regional scale structure intersects with the east-west trending Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone. The NT Zone is located approximately 800 metres south-east of the Rowan Mine gold deposit.
MOUNT JAMIE MINE PROPERTY
The Mount Jamie Mine property is 100% owned and consists of 26 claims – 9 patented, 1 leased, and 16 staked claims. The property hosts the past producing Mount Jamie Mine which is situated on the east-west trending regional gold bearing structure known as the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
RED SUMMIT MINE PROPERTY
The Red Summit Mine Property consist of two 100% owned patented claims situated within the Rowan Mine property. The Red Summit Mine claims are situated on a regional east-west trending gold bearing structure known as the Pipestone Bay St Paul Deformation Zone.
