West Red Lake Gold Mines: Breathing New Life Into Ontario’s Historic Red Lake Gold District

June 24, 2025

A milestone moment as the Madsen Mine pours first gold and gears up for full-scale production

A Modern Restart for a Proven Gold Mine

West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG, OTCQB: WRLGF) has reached a major turning point, achieving its first gold pour at the Madsen Mine in Ontario’s Red Lake district — a region that’s yielded over 30 million ounces of gold historically. The Madsen Mine, once a 2-million-ounce producer, is now fully permitted and built, featuring 21 km of underground workings, a 1,000 tpd mill, tailings facility, and a 114-person onsite camp. Gwen Preston, VP of IR, highlights the company's two-year effort to restart the mine and reestablish it as a key contributor to Canada's gold supply.

With a production target of 70,000 ounces per year, West Red Lake Gold is poised to benefit from strong gold market fundamentals and limited competition from new gold projects. Its seasoned leadership team and recent infrastructure upgrades — including a new underground highway — position the company for efficient operations in one of Canada’s premier gold belts.
