West Red Lake Gold intercepts 176.04 g/t Au over 5.3 m at Austin 955

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQX: WRLGF) is pleased to report drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine (the “ Madsen Mine ” or “ Madsen ”) located in the Red Lake Mining District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada.

Will Robinson, Vice President of Exploration, commented , “We are pleased to announce another round of impressive assay results from our ongoing underground definition drill program at Madsen. The mineralized panels within the 904 and 955 complexes are holding together quite well with strong grades and continuity demonstrated across multiple areas. These results continue to build our confidence in the geological model and the potential for these areas to be integrated into the Madsen mine plan in 2027. Importantly, these complexes are located close to existing underground infrastructure, with the 904 complex representing non-remnant mineralization, meaning we are now advancing into fresh, previously unmined material, providing additional flexibility as we continue to define and advance mining inventory.”

The results from Austin 904 Complex reported herein were all drilled from the 13 and 14 Levels of the Madsen Mine at approximately 650 metre (“m”) and 700m depth , respectively. These 904 results are in addition to those announced on July 7, 2026 which highlighted 10.22 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) over 13.35m , and on April 13, 2026 which highlighted 215.46 g/t Au over 5.35m, 50.34 g/t Au over 4.05m and 61.70 g/t Au over 3m, and on February 25, 2026 which highlighted 219.73 g/t Au over 4.8 m , 148.36 g/t Au over 3m and 133.13 g/t Au over 2.5m .

The results from the Austin 955 Complex were drilled from the 12 Level of the Madsen Mine at approximately 600m depth . These 955 re
