WESCAN GOLDFIELDS IDENTIFIES VISIBLE GOLD AT MUNRO LAKE AND COMPLETES UAV MAGNETIC SURVEY

Wescan Goldfields identified visible gold at Munro Lake, using drone surveys to map targets ahead of upcoming assay results.

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Oct 19, 2026 · 06:30 WGF · 0.075 Wescan Goldfields Inc.
Executive Summary

Wescan Goldfields Inc. (WGF) has identified visible gold in a quartz vein at surface at the North Vein Target within the Southeast Zone of its Munro Lake Project. The company recently completed a 553.5 line-kilometre UAV magnetic survey, which identified a magnetic high that correlates with historical gold samples and is guiding current exploration efforts.

Historical drill hole EXML-002, drilled in 2013, intersected a parallel vein grading 67.1 g/t Au over 1.00m but missed the target vein due to a misinterpretation of the plunge. Current Phase 1 diamond drilling is testing the newly identified surface vein based on mapped plunge data of 63 degrees toward 165 degrees azimuth. Assays for the newly sampled surface vein are pending.

Material Impact

Wescan Goldfields Inc. (WGF) has identified visible gold at surface, a milestone that validates its structural targeting and justifies the ongoing drill program. This update follows the commencement of drilling on October 5, 2026, and the completion of UAV surveys in September.

No assay results are provided, meaning the true thickness, continuity, and economic potential of the mineralization remain unverified. The news aligns with management's stated exploration plan and does not contain genuinely new, market-moving information that alters the company's fundamental outlook or capital requirements.

Company Overview

Wescan Goldfields Inc. (WGF) is a pre-revenue junior explorer focused on a portfolio of four 100%-owned gold projects in Saskatchewan's La Ronge and Pine Lake belts: Munro Lake, Jojay Lake, Fork Lake (Jasper Mine), and Lindsay Lake. The company is currently in the exploration and resource definition phase, with no revenue generation.

Munro Lake serves as the current flagship exploration target, located 7 km northeast of SSR Mining's Seabee mine. It features a 7-kilometre mineralized trend with historical intercepts up to 67.1 g/t Au. Jojay Lake hosts a historic Indicated resource of 420,000 tonnes at 3.7 g/t Au. Fork Lake contains the historic Jasper Mine, which produced over 82,000 oz of gold between 1990 and 1991.
