VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 25, 2024 – West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. (“West Red Lake Gold” or “WRLG” or the “Company”) (TSXV:WRLG) (OTCQB:WRLGF) is pleased to announce the appointment of Jason Billan as Vice President Corporate Development effective June 24, 2024.

Mr. Billan has spent 15 years in the mining sector, with an emphasis on corporate development, strategy, financing, and executive leadership. Following an MBA at the University of Western Ontario in 2009, he spent three years in precious metals equity research at Salman Partners and RBC Capital Markets, with a coverage universe ranging from small exploration companies to large producers. In 2012, he joined Nevsun Resources as a corporate development analyst. In 2016 Nevsun acquired the Timok copper-gold project in Serbia for over US$500M before being acquired by Zijin Mining for C$1.9B in 2018 after a comprehensive sales process. Most recently, Mr. Billan spent time at Wheaton Precious Metals International before being appointed CEO of Gatling Exploration in 2020, which rapidly advanced its Larder project in Ontario before being sold to mid-tier silver miner MAG Silver in 2022.

“As West Red Lake Gold moves towards restarting the Madsen mine, Jason’s experience in mine financing and valuation makes him an ideal person to assist in securing capital needed to complete the project,” said Shane Williams, President and CEO. “Once Madsen is operational, we will look for the next growth asset for West Red Lake Gold and I am delighted to welcome Jason to the team as we pursue that vision.”

The Company granted 250,000 stock options to Mr. Billan, vesting over a three year period with 25% vesting in 3 months from the grant date and 25% vesting on the first, second and third anniversary of the grant date at an exercise price of $0.56 and will be exercisable for a 5 year period expiring June 24, 2029.
