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.

For 2025, Wesdome has allocated $13 million for a 115,000-metre drilling program, including geophysical surveys and structural mapping. The company also plans to advance its global resource model initiative to unlock near-surface mineralization through historic data digitization and alternative mining methods.

Wesdome Gold Mines achieved record annual gold production of 172,034 ounces in 2024, a 39% increase from 2023. The company provided guidance for 2025, projecting consolidated gold production between 190,000 and 210,000 ounces at an all-in sustaining cost of US$1,325-$1,475 per ounce.

For 2026, Wesdome anticipates production to reach 195,000 to 220,000 ounces. The company plans significant capital investments in 2025, with a total budget of $160 million, including $115 million in sustaining capital and $45 million in growth capital. A record $38 million exploration program is planned to focus on growing existing high-grade zones.

Production improvements are expected from both the Eagle River and Kiena mines, with Kiena benefiting from the high-grade Kiena Deep Zone and new ore from Presqu'île zone in late 2025.

Wesdome Gold Mines provides an update on its Kiena Mine exploration programs, highlighting significant drilling results across multiple zones. The company's $20 million exploration budget covered over 70,000 metres of drilling in 2024. Notable results include high-grade intersections in the Kiena Deep Footwall Zone, with up to 218.9 g/t Au over 22.1m core length, and promising findings in the Presqu'île and Dubuisson zones. The exploration success supports the company's two-mine structure initiative, combining high-grade production from Kiena Deep with near-surface feed from other zones.
