SASKATOON, Nov. 22 /CNW/ - George Sanders, President of Wescan Goldfields Inc. ("Wescan") reports that diamond drilling has resumed at the former Jasper mine on the 100% owned Fork Lake property in the La Ronge gold belt in northern Saskatchewan. A total of 3600 metres in 7 drill holes is planned before Christmas. The program will test the strike and plunge extensions of the newly identified Deep Jasper (DJ) zone and an area approximately 350 metres below the 1-04 Stope (the most northerly mined out stope). Wescan recently reported several mineralized drill intercepts in the DJ zone and that four of six drill holes contained visible gold. The program will also probe for the down dip, down plunge extension of the DMZ zone. This is a parallel structure to the Jasper Zone but occurs 300 metres east. The DMZ structure has been traced on surface by previous operators for 2.5 kilometres. The June 2003 report by A.C.A. Howe International Limited reports that previous operators obtained surface values of up to 0.904 oz Au/ton over 3.7 metres. Wescan plans to test the structure at a vertical depth of 250 metres. Baseline sampling of water and waste rock has begun in preparation for permitting of an underground exploration program. The diamond drill program is designed, supervised and reported on by Frank Hrdy, MSc., MBA, P.Geo., Wescan Exploration Manager. Mr. Hrdy is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists in the provinces of Saskatchewan and Manitoba and pending in Ontario.
