# Wesdome Intersects 3.1 g/t Gold over 106.5 Metres at Shawkey 10, Significantly Expanding the Mineralized System Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/wesdome-intersects-3-1-g-t-gold-over-106-5-metres-at-shawkey-10-significantly-ex--d7cc597e-c823-4f52-bbdb-92f136d046f4 Original source: https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/314648/Wesdome-Intersects-3.1-gt-Gold-over-106.5-Metres-at-Shawkey-10-Significantly-Expanding-the-Mineralized-System Publisher: newsfile Original announcement: 2026-09-16T21:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. - Ticker: WDO - Exchange: Unavailable - Region: Quebec - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-09-16 21:18:07 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.80 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Wesdome has reported significant exploration drill results at the Shawkey 10 target within its Kiena mine in Quebec. Hole SH-26-001 intersected 3.1 g/t gold over 106.5 metres, which significantly expands the interpreted thickness of the mineralized diorite host and doubles the grade-thickness of previous 2021 drilling. Reasoning: The drill results from SH-26-001 show a substantial increase in both grade and width compared to the 2021 hole S-21-831, significantly expanding the mineralized footprint at Shawkey 10. - Positive factor: Significant grade-thickness expansion compared to previous drilling - Positive factor: Broad mineralization \(106.5m\) at 3.1 g/t Au - Positive factor: High-grade intercepts \(20.4 g/t Au\) within the interval - Positive factor: Expansion of interpreted host diorite thickness - Positive factor: Perpendicular drill orientation improving structural understanding Facts used in scoring: 5 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: The results expand the interpreted thickness of the diorite host from 80m to over 200m and extend the mineralized system. Evidence · text > Interpreted thickness of diorite host rock more than doubles from approximately 80 metres to over 200 metres with mineralization throughout **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: The 20.4 g/t Au intercept is exceptionally high grade for this deposit type. Evidence · text > 20.4 g/t Au uncapped over 10.8 m core length **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions certified lab \(ALS\), standards, blanks, and duplicates. Evidence · text > Analytical work is performed by ALS Minerals of Val-d'Or \(Québec\), a certified commercial laboratory \(Accredited Lab \#689\). **True Width Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Actual thickness perpendicular to structure is stated, not just downhole length. Why it applies: The release notes that 2026 drill holes are perpendicular to the axis of the veins, improving structural understanding. Evidence · text > The 2026 drill holes are perpendicular to the axis of the veins ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 5.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
