Drilling done at the end of 2024, focused on Western Exploration's Gravel Creek deposit

One of their three NI43-101 deposits

Gravel Creek contributing 688Koz gold at ~5.5 g/t from a combined 1.32Moz on their Aura project

@WEXExploration Western Exploration is currently drilling Gravel Creek

2 drills dedicated to both grow the new mineralised area per 80m stepouts, as well as resource drilling
The company is planning a resource update after this program & is looking to test if this system has any boundaries

@WEXExploration Already a sizeable resource that shows resource growth potential from a 550 X 350m area immediately adjacent to the east

This area is larger than the resource area and legacy holes showed higher grades, so they put it to the test with aggressive 80m step-out holes

@WEXExploration In my previous thread on WEX, I discussed the first hole into this system

This hit multiple vein/breccia zones with elevated AuEq values

Only partially assayed, the below was complemented with:
➡️10.08 g/t over 0.86m
➡️7.54 g/t over 0.31m

@WEXExploration 1st hole hit multiple veins, most notable intersections (AuEq):

➡️22.06g/t over 3.69m
➡️12.44 g/t over 6.10m
➡️26.5 g/t over 0.37m

Note these are separate mineralised sections in the same hole🧐
Highlighting big resource expansion potential to the NE of the current deposit

@WEXExploration All assays are in now from five 80m stepout holes, all painting a similar picture

The 550 X 350m zone east of the Gravel Creek deposit is rich in multiple HG gold veins (+10 g/t AuEq), open in all directions
This will significantly add quality ounces to the robust resource

@WEXExploration You can clearely see this from the below cross section

The 3.0 g/t resource grade shell is indicated in red

But then this exploration target exhibits way higher grades and is a lot larger

I think the market has yet to grab the significance of this

@WEXExploration This quarter we'll see an update to the resource, adding the latest + historical drill results, including (in AuEq)
➡️43.1g/t over 9.1m
➡️53.5g/t over 3.0m
➡️143.6g/t over 0.7m

Drill plans for 2025 coming up

Projects are year round accessible so no winter break
