Wesdome Gold Mines\u00a0of Toronto has circulated an interim mineral resource for its 100% owned Kiena mine complex in Val d\u2019Or. The estimate is based on drilling completed to Oct. 12, 2018. Since then, the Deep A zone has been the target of drilling, but its resources are not yet included in the current estimate.<\/p>\n

Kiena counts resources in the Kiena Deep, A, B, South, VC and S50 zones. The total measured and indicated resource for the complex is 3.1 million tonnes grading 5.81 g\/t gold, containing 582,600 oz. The inferred resource is 4.1 million tonnes at 7.57 g\/t, containing slightly more than 1.0 million oz. of gold. The grades were capped to between 20 and 90 g\/t.<\/p>\n

The Kiena Deep A zone is parallel to but not attached to the A zone, which is contained in the current resources. Wesdome has sets an exploration target for Deep A of 300,000 to 450,000 tonnes grading 8.0 to 11.0 g\/t, containing 80,000 to 160,000 oz. of gold. With continuing and good drilling results, Deep A will eventually be included in the Kiena resource estimate. Five drills are currently turning in the zone.<\/p>\n
