Shane Williams MBE to take part in Wales Air Ambulance event
On Sunday, September 7, Shane Williams MBE will take part in the 'Cycle 100km for the Wales Air Ambulance' fundraising event. The 2008 World Rugby Player of the Year has been showing his support for the all-Wales Charity following a partnership announcement last year with his sportswear brand, Agilis. Last year's event saw nearly 100 participants. (Image: Wales Air Ambulance) Shane said: 'I am very proud to say that myself and Agilis will be working in partnership with Wales Air Ambulance. 'Obviously, it's a fantastic Charity and cause, we've all seen the great work that they have done, how amazing they are and the difference they make to a lot of people's lives, so I am very proud to be associated with them on this adventure.' The ex-Welsh and British and Irish Lions rugby legend will cycle from Cardiff to the Charity's headquarters, in Dafen, Llanelli along with other participants. Like last year, after leaving Cardiff, cyclists will head towards Bridgend, pedal through Port Talbot and pass through Swansea before finishing their Cycle 100km. Despite the wet weather, last year's event saw nearly 100 participants, including some crew, saddle up whilst raising funds for the all-Wales Charity. It's the second mass-participation cycle event the Charity has hosted, and whether you're a seasoned cyclist or a first-time racer, the event is all about having fun, enjoying the scenic views and raising vital funds for the lifesaving charity. Cycle 100km is aimed at having fun, enjoying the scenic views and celebrating the local cycling community. Entry costs £100 per participant and includes a Wales Air Ambulance cycling jersey, which must be worn on the day of the event. Participants will have the chance to meet Shane and some of the crew, will receive a bespoke event medal and have support along the route at dedicated feed stations. Nina Rice, Head of Fundraising – High Value Partnerships for the Wales Air Ambulance, said: 'We are delighted to announce that after last year's success we Cycle 100km for Wales Air Ambulance event is back. 'Last year we were pleased with the turnout of our first mass-participant fundraiser for our lifesaving Charity. Fingers crossed the weather is a little kinder this year, but if not, it won't dampen our spirits. 'We really appreciate the support of everyone who took part last year and would be delighted if they entered again this year. 'This is a wonderful opportunity for cyclists, who would like to set themselves a challenge, to get together and achieve a personal goal, whilst raising funds for the charity.'

Aldi national expansion includes first Delafield store, which opens June 19
Aldi, the German discount grocer known for creating its own brands of popular processed foods, will open its first Delafield store, and only its third in Lake Country, on June 19. The company recently completed the remodeling of the former OfficeMax store at 2840 Heritage Drive, just east of state Highway 83 along the south side of the Interstate 94 corridor. It's only the second new store planned for Wisconsin in 2025, but one in more than 800 in the works in the U.S. through 2028 including a record-setting 225 stores expected to open this year alone. All rely on shoppers looking to save a few dollars, even in upscale suburban places, according to Aldi officials. Shane Williams, Aldi's regional vice president, cited an Aldi Price Leadership Report that claims Aldi shoppers save 36% on their shopping lists, averaging $4,000 annually. "As shoppers look for better ways to stretch their dollar, Aldi is providing Delafield with easier access to quality groceries at affordable prices," Williams said in a news release announcing the June 19 opening date. Company officials noted that Aldi's exclusive brands make up about 90% of the items in its stores. In addition to processed foods, such as Millville cereals that include Fruit Rounds (akin to Kellogg's Froot Loops), stores also sell organic meats, fresh produce and sustainable seafood. Their cheese and wine selections include a house wine called Winking Owl. Shoppers will find limited-time offers on seasonal foods, home goods and other items. The company also promotes its "sustainability" in product lines, which it says are important to its core shoppers, and offers gluten-free options. In addition to standard offers, the Delafield store, which will be open daily from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., will include a June 19 promotion for the first 100 customers. Each will receive a gift bag containing exclusive product samples, a gift card and promotion materials. Aldi also has two stores in Waukesha and one store each in Brookfield, Mukwonago, Muskego, Oconomowoc and Pewaukee, along with others in the Milwaukee area.

West Red Lake Gold Delineates High-Grade Lenses of Gold Adjacent to Current Development
Vancouver, BC, May 28, 2025 – TheNewswire - Global Stocks News - Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On May 27, 2025, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) reported drill results from the South Austin Zone. Click Image To View Full Size '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.' Click Image To View Full Size *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. Click Image To View Full Size 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] Click Image To View Full Size '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.

West Red Lake Gold Intersects 61.51 g/t Au over 12.1m, 43.54 g/t Au over 8.35m and 24.61 g/t Au over 11.2m at South Austin
VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. ('West Red Lake Gold' or 'WRLG' or the 'Company') (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) is pleased to report drill results from its 100% owned Madsen Mine located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwestern Ontario, Canada. Shane Williams, President & CEO, stated, '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. The team is successfully defining a panel of very high-grade mineralization in South Austin between 8L and 12L of the mine. 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. These organic growth opportunities are exciting because they represent high margin ounces that can be sequenced into our mine plan very efficiently. 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.' These drill results are located approximately 50 meters ('m') 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 (Figure 3).

Like the other mineralized domains that comprise the Madsen Mine, the South Austin structure is hosted within broad, kilometer-scale planar alteration and deformation corridors that have been repeatedly reactivated during gold mineralization and subsequent deformation and metamorphism. At the deposit scale the Austin, South Austin, North Austin, and McVeigh Zones are locally folded and structurally dismembered by transposition and rotation into the penetrative S2 Foliation. In addition to this intense deformation overprint, the mineralized veins and alteration have been subjected to the relatively high temperatures of amphibolite facies metamorphism, which led to extensive recrystallization and growth of the skarn-like replacement mineral assemblage of diopside-amphibole-quartz-biotite. All significant gold mineralization on the mine property is demonstrably early relative to the most significant, penetrative deformation (D2) and metamorphic events. The North Austin Zone displays 'mine-style' alteration and mineralization and consists of multiple mineralized domains defined over a strike length of 0.5km. Mineralization remains open at depth and along strike to the northeast. In drill core, or at underground face exposures, gold-bearing zones at the Madsen Mine are best identified visually by fine (sub-millimetre) grains of free gold within strong alteration and veining. All high-grade intervals generally contain visible gold on drill core exteriors, although numerous examples exist of high-grade assays where visible gold was only identified within the interior (cut surface) of the core samples. Apart from the presence of free gold, pervasive silicification (locally accompanied by discrete quartz veining) and quartz-carbonate or diopside veining are the best indicators that a given interval is within a high-grade zone along/within the mineralized structure. The current underground drilling program at the Madsen Mine is focused on further definition of near-term mining inventory, as well as growth of the current mineral resource. Drilling has been focused on the more continuous and higher-grade portions of the Austin, South Austin, North Austin and McVeigh Zones. This will continue to be the strategy through 2025.

All drill holes are systematically logged, photographed, and sampled by a trained geologist at the Madsen Mine core processing facility. Minimum allowable sample length is 0.5m. Maximum allowable sample length is 1.5m. Control samples (certified standards and uncertified blanks), along duplicates, are inserted at a target 5% insertion rate. Results are assessed for accuracy, precision, and contamination on an ongoing basis. The BQ-sized drill core is whole core sampled. The NQ-sized drill core is then cut lengthwise utilizing a diamond blade core saw along a line pre-selected by the geologist. To reduce sampling bias, the same side of drill core is sampled consistently utilizing the orientation line as reference. For those samples containing visible gold ('VG'), a trained geologist supervises the cutting/bagging of those samples, and ensures the core saw blade is 'cleaned' with a dressing stone following the VG sample interval. Bagged samples are then sealed with zip ties and transported by Madsen Mine personnel directly to SGS Natural Resource's Facility in Red Lake, Ontario for assay. Samples are then prepped by SGS, which consists of drying at 105°C and crushing to 75% passing 2mm. A riffle splitter is then utilized to produce a 500g course reject for archive. The remainder of the sample is then pulverized to 85% passing 75 microns from which 50g is analyzed by fire assay and an atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) finish (SGS Code GO-FAA50V10). Samples returning gold values > 100 g/t Au are reanalyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish on a 50g sample (SGS Code GO_FAG50V). Samples with visible gold are also analyzed via metallic screen analysis (SGS code: GO_FAS50M). For multi-element analysis, samples are sent to SGS's facility in Burnaby, British Columbia and analyzed via four-acid digest with an atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) finish for 33-element analysis on 0.25g sample pulps (SGS code: GE_ICP40Q12). SGS Natural Resources analytical laboratories operates under a Quality Management System that complies with ISO/IEC 17025. The Madsen Mine deposit presently hosts a National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects ('NI 43-101') Indicated resource of 1.65 million ounces ('Moz') of gold grading 7.4 g/t Au within 6.9 Mt, and an Inferred resource of 0.37 Moz of gold grading 6.3 g/t Au within 1.8 Mt. Mineral resources are estimated at a cut-off grade of 3.38 g/t Au and a gold price of US$1,800/oz. Mineral resources as stated are inclusive of mineral reserves. Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The Madsen Mine also contains Probable reserves of 478 thousand ounces ('koz') of gold grading 8.16 g/t Au within 1.87 Mt. Mineral reserve estimates are based on a gold price of US$1,680/oz.
