- Seven separate gold bearing structures intersected over 325 metres strike length
- High-grade 4500 (NL2) Zone also extended
West Timmins Mining Inc. (TSX:WTM) ("WTM" or the "Company") today announced that recently completed drilling has confirmed the presence of multiple gold-bearing structures along the North Zone gold trend and has successfully intersected the mineralized system for over 325 metres along strike. All seven gold mineralized structures identified to date remain open down dip, and in several cases they remain open along strike for further expansion. The North Zone Trend is located on the Company's 100% owned Thorne Property, part of the West Timmins Gold Project, in Timmins, Ontario.
Highlights from the most recent drill program include intercepts of 7.67 g/t gold over 4.50 metres, including 17.55 g/t gold over 1.50 metres, and 8.01 g/t gold over 1.10 metres from the 4500 (or North Lower (NL) 2) Zone and 12.64 g/t gold over 0.60 metres, 6.31 g/t over 0.90 metres and 3.37 g/t over 6.10 metres from the North Zone (see table below). These results continue to confirm the high-grade nature of both of these mineralized structures which have been significantly extended by the current program.

Drilling has now traced, at shallow depths, seven (North Upper (NU) 3, NU2, NU1, North, North Lower (NL1), NL2 and NL3) sub-parallel gold mineralized structures along the North Zone Trend. Based on these results and the reinterpretation of historic data the NL2 Zone appears to correlate with the historic high-grade 4500 Zone on the Thorne Property. The North and 4500 (NL2) Zones are the most continuous and highest grade of the seven gold mineralized structures and both typically occur in the hanging wall to quartz-feldspar porphyry dykes. The majority of the holes completed during the current program were collared in the footwall to the NU3 structure.
Steeply plunging chutes of greater grade/thickness appear to be located at flexures or folds along these generally east-west striking zones. In addition to the results reported today a significant amount of historic drill data is present along North Zone Trend which allows the tracing of the gold mineralized structures to vertical depths of 250 to 400 metres. All zones remain open to depth.
Additional drill results remain pending from the Thorne, Wakemac and Beach (Probe Option) Properties in Timmins.
Quality Control and Assurance
Geochemical results reported are from halved drill core samples collected from WTM's 100% owned Thorne Property, part of the Company's West Timmins Gold Project. Core samples were collected by employees and consultants in the employ of the Company and are subject to the Company's quality control program. Sampling was conducted on site at the Company's exploration office in Timmins, Ontario and sealed samples were transported to Swastika Labs preparation facilities in Swastika, Ontario for the North Zone results reported. Samples were assayed for gold by standard fire assay- ICP finish with a 30 gram charge. Gold values in excess of 3.0 g/t were re-analyzed to confirm reproducibility. The remaining half of the drill core is stored on-site at the Company's Timmins exploration office.
For quality control purposes blank, duplicate and analytical control standards were inserted into the sample sequence at irregular intervals. Mr. Darin Wagner (M.Sc., P.Geo), the Company's President, has acted as non-independent qualified person for this news release. The qualified person has visited the project site, examined the intervals reported and, has verified that the reported results meet the Company's quality control standards.
