'There's a history with mines in Red Lake finding these fantastic pods of mineralization on the edges of deposits,' Shane Williams, WRLG President & CEO, told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN).
'The South Austin mineralization announced on May 27 is directly beside existing workings,' continued Williams. 'It's not long-term, back-room inventory. Our engineers are working to pull it into the mine plan within 6 to 12 months.'

*The 'From-To' intervals in Table 1 are denoting overall downhole length of the intercept. True thickness has not been calculated for these intercepts but is expected to be ≥ 70% of downhole thickness based on intercept angles observed in the drill core. Internal dilution for composite intervals does not exceed 1m for samples grading <0.1 g/t Au.
'The South Austin zone has been producing very high grades and impressive widths in the definition drilling program to begin 2025 – often associated with the presence of visible gold,' stated Williams in the May 27, 2025 press release.
'It is becoming apparent that a lot of high-grade material was left behind in this area by historic operators and we are taking full advantage of this low hanging fruit that sits immediately adjacent to our existing underground development,' continued Williams.
'As drilling progresses at depth, we expect to uncover more areas of untapped potential and look forward to providing further updates as assay results continue to be received.'
The May 27, 2025 drill results are located approximately50 meters up-dip from the South Austin intercepts previously announced on February 26, 2025, where drilling returned 114.26 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au) over 10.6m,77.90 g/t Au over 3m and 24.48 g/t Au over 8.5m.
This area is also approximately 300 m up plunge from the drill results recently announced on May 13, 2025, where drilling returned 48.97 g/t Au over 18.7m, 52.86 g/t Au over 4.5m and 25.49 g/t Au over 7.5m.

The South Austin zone continues to demonstrate significant grade and thickness potential at depth and along strike, which is being fully realized and accurately defined through definition drilling.
The purpose of this drilling was definition and expansion within priority areas of South Austin to continue adding to an already substantial inventory of high-confidence ounces to support the restart of production at the Madsen mine, which was announced on May 22, 2025.
The Company reported positive results from its recently completed bulk sampling campaign on May 7, 2025, and also filed a Technical Report for its Pre-Feasibility Study for Madsen on February 18, 2025.
The South Austin zone currently contains an Indicated mineral resource of 474,600 ounces grading 8.7 grams/tonne gold within 1.7 million tonnes ('Mt'). with an additional Inferred resource of 31,800 ounces of gold grading 8.7 grams/tonne gold within 0.1 Mt.[2]

'The Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) used a gold price of US$1,680 per ounce,' Williams told GSN. 'With gold trading around US$3,330, the gold price cited in the PFS is currently in the rear-view mirror. This has the potential to improve the economics of the Madsen Mine.'
'Madsen is developing into an operation of larger scale than was envisioned just last year,' added Williams. 'It's an exciting time to be part of this new operation as we push to see how much value we can unlock in this positive gold price environment.'
The Madsen deposits presently host an NI 43-101 Indicated resource of 1.65 million ounces of gold grading 7.4 g/t gold within 6.9 Mt and an Inferred resource of 0.37 Moz of gold grading 6.3 g/t gold within 1.8 Mt. [1 .] [2.] [3.]

'Randomness and chaos': The invisible, unpredictable forces behind fatal rockfall
Social Sharing Scientist Daniel Shugar says images of the aftermath of Thursday's deadly rockslide in Banff National Park provide evidence of its cause — water flowing through the interior of the mountain. "You can actually see some springs coming out of the cliff and actually coming out exactly from the scar itself," said the University of Calgary professor of geomorphology. He described how water from a lake above the cliff at Bow Glacier Falls had been seeping through rocks for decades before it eventually provided enough force to dislodge a boulder, triggering the rockfall. "That lake has existed since 1955," he said. "So over the last 70 years, the water from this lake (and the) glacier retreating has been trying to go downhill through the cracks. It essentially provided the pressure to dislodge the rock." While the forces may have been building for years, Shugar and other scientists agree it would have been impossible for Parks Canada to predict or prevent the massive rockfall. "Yesterday was just a bad confluence of events where this chunk of rock essentially popped out of the cliff," he said. "And, you know, unfortunately, tragically, there were hikers down below." Experts agreed that while evidence of previous rockfalls is easy to see, predicting exactly when they will occur is impossible. Davide Elmo, a mining engineering professor at the University of British Columbia, said that looking at a rock face from the outside doesn't show what's happening inside. "Some people might ask Parks Canada, why didn't you do anything about it," said Elmo, who also has a degree in engineering geology and is an expert in rock mechanics. "Well, that kind of rockfall cannot be stopped." He said the only thing officials can do is to tell the public about the risks when they enter an area that might be prone to rockfalls. "We know they will happen. We don't know when they will happen," said Elmo. Witnesses reported rumblings and stones moving before a slab of mountain broke loose and rained boulders on hikers below. The rockfall occurred in a scenic area close to a popular trail. Looking ahead, Elmo said officials should put up a notice in the area, warning hikers to "minimize the time" spent in that location. "You can take photos from a distance, but don't stay under the slope. That's the worst place to be," said Elmo. John J. Clague, an emeritus professor in Earth sciences at Simon Fraser University, said that when he looks at the Banff and Jasper landscapes, he sees lots of cones marking where rockfalls have occurred in the past. "Predicting exactly where one is going to occur, unless you have some prior indication that something was going on, would be very tough." he said. Body of 2nd victim recovered from rockfall in Banff National Park 1 day ago Duration 5:21 Two people are now confirmed dead in a massive rockfall that struck numerous hikers near Bow Glacier Falls in Banff National Park on Thursday. A 70-year-old Calgary woman was found dead at the scene on Thursday, and RCMP say a second deceased person was recovered on Friday morning. Clague said rockfalls are common in the southern Rocky Mountains, but most are never witnessed. Thursday's slide involved "people being kind of in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Clague. John Pomeroy, Canada Research Chair in water resources and climate change at the University of Saskatchewan, said there was no early indicator from water levels in Iceberg Lake, which feeds Bow Glacier Falls, that could have predicted the tragedy. "There's a lot of randomness and chaos in events like a rock slide, so the conditions were perhaps favourable to it, but that it happened was simply bad luck," he said. "And particularly happening at that time of day when there were people there was extremely bad luck." Pomeroy said that this year, the glacier started melting early, raising water levels in Iceberg Lake earlier than normal. "It's certainly more hazardous because of climate change, but it's hard to say that climate change caused any particular event," he said. Clague said all glaciers in Canada have undergone thinning and retreating amid the warming climate, and he thinks this incident is linked to climate change.

Essex asks residents to give input through survey
The Town of Essex sign in Essex, Ont., on June 11, 2020. (Melanie Borrelli / CTV Windsor) The town of Essex is asking for residents' input on their Asset Management Plan through a survey. The initiative is the town's program for replacing its infrastructure. The Asset Management Plan manages public infrastructure, such as road networks, bridges and culverts, water network, sanitary sewer networks and stormwater networks. By participating in the survey, residents can give input on the program's strengths, areas for improvement and priorities for upcoming years. The feedback will inform the town's plan in alignment with Ontario Regulation 588/17. Sherry Bondy, the mayor of Essex, said the questionnaire gives residents a chance to have a say in how the town cares for and invests in infrastructure. 'Your input will help guide responsible planning and ensure we continue to build a strong, vibrant future for Essex,' said Bondy.

Canadian trash is being turned into rocks
Not everything you put in the blue bin will end up being recycled. But for some products, we may have finally reached true zero waste – and unlocked a new construction material in the process. CBC science communicator Darius Mahdavi walks us through the process and shows how it could be the future of recycling.
