West Red Lake Gold Bulk Sample Learnings Demonstrate Potential for Increased Tonnage and Contained Ounces
The PFS mine plan, which was based on $1,680/oz gold, generated strong economics that supported the restart decision. Using a higher gold price in stope design effectively lowers the cutoff grade for resource inclusion, bringing additional resource tonnes into the mine plan, producing more overall ounces.
Vancouver, BC, June 5, 2025 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of West Red Lake Gold. On June 3, 2025, West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG) (OTCQB: WRLGF) extrapolated from lessons learned from the mining and bulk sample program at its 100% owned Madsen Mine.
“The PFS mine plan, which was based on $1,680/oz gold, generated strong economics that supported the restart decision,” stated WRLG in the June 3, 2025 press release. “However, using a higher gold price in stope design effectively lowers the cutoff grade for resource inclusion, bringing additional resource tonnes into the mine plan, producing more overall ounces.”
“When lower-grade tonnes prove to be economic, it can result in larger stopes encompassing one or several high-grade gold lenses with surrounding halo mineralization,” added WRLG.
Recent drill results at South Austin have revealed high-grade lenses that went largely unnoticed when drill holes were still widely spaced, 20 meters apart.
“As the gold price rises, more of the gold bearing rock becomes economically viable,” Maurice Mostert, Vice President Technical Services told Guy Bennett, CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “We don’t have to be as selective. Larger stopes typically translate to an increase in tonnage and contained ounces, and leads to lower mining costs.”
The mine plan in the Madsen Mine Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) [1] used a gold price of US$1,680 per oz – about 50% of the current gold price. This led to a mine plan with 60% of the mining being small, high-grade stopes requiring the use of cut-and-fill mining, which is selective and relatively high cost. [2]
For its current mine design, West Red Lake Gold is using the “consensus long-term price” of US$2,350 per ounce – a conservative number about $1,000 per ounce below the current gold price.
The test mining and bulk sample program had two goals:
1. To confirm that the geologic, engineering, and mining workflow at Madsen enables the Company to model and mine mineralization accurately.
2. To test various mining scenarios and use the results to enable confident mine design that maximizes economic extraction.
On a complexity scale, if an open pit mine is like chopping firewood, the Madsen Mine is fine-cabinetry, requiring blueprints, meticulous planning, specialised knowledge and precision tools.
Communicating technical and geological complexities to retail investors also requires specialised knowledge.
On May 23, 2024 WRLG announced the appointment of Gwen Preston to the position of Vice President Investor Relations.
Preston holds an undergraduate degree in science and a master’s in journalism. Prior to her appointment at WRLG, Preston was the CEO of Resource Maven, a senior financial writer and a veteran public speaker.
“We are assembling an elite team of professionals,” Shane Williams, President and CEO of WRLG told GSN. “Gwen is a big asset to our roster of VPs. She understands geology, demand drivers, political risks, the regulatory environment and capital markets.”
In this June 3, 2025 video, Preston gives context to the lessons learned from the mining and bulk sample program.
“West Red Lake Gold reported on what we learned while test mining the bulk sample and how those learnings are guiding our mine plan at the Madsen mine,” stated Preston in the video.
“We learned that we can mine right up against old stopes. When we tried that, old stopes remained competent, and so did the backfill in them. It means that everything stayed in place. We can mine safely up against those old stopes, and the targeted mineralization won’t get diluted from material falling into it.”
“This reduces some barriers in how to engineer the mine, and it unlocks resources that were on the back burner until this test was complete.”
“The test mining program also showed the efficiency of mining larger shapes than we expected, and mining clusters of those stopes.”
“At Madsen, gold often exists as high-grade lenses, in some cases surrounded by lower-grade, mineralized halos,” stated Preston. “Small stopes that were targeting one high-grade lens often become larger mining shapes encompassing several high-grade lenses and the halo mineralisation around them. Those larger mining shapes can often be mined by long hole stoping.”
Larger stopes and clusters of proximal stopes, known as mining complexes, have the potential to increase a mine’s economic benefit and scale as compared to smaller, isolated stopes. This is because they can positively impact three key economic drivers:
- Mining cost: Larger stopes can generally be mined via long hole stoping. Long hole stoping is significantly lower cost per tonne compared to cut and fill mining [3]. The Madsen Mine bulk sample was mined exclusively by long hole stoping methods with a very high success rate, and the majority of the 18-month detailed mine plan is long hole mining.
- Cost of access development per tonne mined: Larger stopes and stopes clustered in mining complexes spread the cost of developing access to a mining area over more ounces produced from that area, reducing the overall cost of access development.
- Flexibility and efficiency: The ability for a mine to focus on a few large mining complexes at any given time rather than multiple isolated stopes greatly supports efficiency in equipment, personnel, and material movement planning. The Company is realizing this efficiency advantage already at the site.
“The PFS generated strong economics that were the basis of our decision to restart the mine,” confirmed Preston. “The benefits we outlined this week from larger mining shapes are expected to have a positive impact on Madsen’s long-term profitability.”
“I’m recording this from a hotel in Quebec City ahead of a conference here,” concluded Preston in the video. “Then the team is going straight into two days of investor meetings in New York City. It’s exciting to be on our first road trip talking about West Red Lake Gold as an operating gold miner.”

Muzzammil Riaz on Why We Need Honest Conversations About Burnout in Every Workplace
California, US, 13th September 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Burnout has become one of the most pressing challenges in modern workplaces, yet it remains one of the least discussed. Muzzammil Riaz, a registered nurse, wellness advocate, and the founder of Trust The Process, calls for a cultural shift where burnout is no longer hidden. He believes it must be openly addressed as a collective responsibility.
Riaz has seen burnout from multiple angles. He has worked on the frontlines of healthcare, heard the stories shared across his digital platform, and witnessed the personal struggles of those who quietly shoulder overwhelming pressure. His conclusion is simple and urgent: Workplaces must normalize conversations about burnout. Healthier employees and stronger teams depend on it.
“Too often, we treat burnout like a personal weakness,” says Riaz. “In reality, it is the predictable outcome of environments where constant output is valued more than human well-being. We cannot solve what we refuse to name. Talking about burnout is not optional anymore. It is necessary.”
The Hidden Cost of Silence
Riaz explains that silence around burnout carries a high cost. Employees who feel unable to voice their exhaustion often push themselves past their limits, leading to declining performance, disengagement, and turnover. In healthcare and other high-stakes fields, it can also compromise safety.
“Silence doesn’t protect anyone,” he notes. “It only delays the inevitable crash. When people bottle up their stress, it shows up in other ways. It appears through irritability, absenteeism, or in serious cases, breakdowns that could have been prevented with earlier support.”
According to Riaz, honest conversations are the first line of prevention. Workplaces that create space for dialogue allow employees to share their experiences without fear of judgment. This helps leaders identify patterns, address systemic causes, and open the door to solutions that go deeper than surface-level fixes.
Beyond Wellness Programs
Many organizations offer wellness perks like gym memberships or mindfulness apps. Riaz believes these efforts miss the point. Perks do not solve burnout. It is solved by culture.
“A company cannot hand someone a yoga subscription and expect burnout to disappear,” he explains. “What matters is whether employees feel safe admitting they are struggling. If the culture punishes vulnerability, no amount of perks will make a difference.”
Riaz emphasizes that leadership plays the most critical role. Managers must model openness, acknowledge their own challenges, and invite honest feedback. Teams thrive when leaders normalize rest. They do better when boundaries are encouraged and workloads are sustainable.
The Human Side of Productivity
At the heart of Riaz’s perspective is a simple truth. People are not machines. Productivity cannot come at the expense of mental and emotional health.
“Workplaces often talk about output, but rarely about the human beings behind that output,” he says. “We need to remember that the best results come from people who feel supported. They do not come from people who are running on empty.”
Muzzammil Riaz advocates for redefining success. He believes well-being should be a measurable outcome. Companies that foster resilience and trust will outperform those that ignore burnout. The link between employee health and organizational success is clear.
A Call for Change
Through Trust The Process, Riaz continues to spark dialogue on burnout, resilience, and healing. His mantra is simple. Healing is not linear. Progress comes through consistent care, not quick fixes. By speaking openly about his experiences, he shows that vulnerability can be a source of strength.
His call to action is clear: Workplaces must replace silence with honesty. Burnout is not a rare condition; it is a shared reality. Recognizing it openly is the first step toward meaningful change.
“Every workplace has two choices,” Riaz concludes. “They can keep ignoring burnout until it costs them their people. Or they can start the conversations that will create healthier, more resilient teams. The future of work depends on which choice we make.”
About Muzzammil Riaz
Muzzammil Riaz is a registered nurse and wellness advocate. He is also the founder of Trust The Process, a digital platform focused on mental health, healing, and authentic growth. He combines clinical insight with honest storytelling to support individuals navigating burnout, anxiety, and self-doubt. His work emphasizes vulnerability, resilience, and the belief that healing is never linear.
