Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. announced exploration drilling results at the Kiena Mine continue to provide encouraging results. An underground exploration drilling program of the S-50 Zone at Kiena Mine was initiated during September, 2010 following a compilation which identified an unexplored area with dimensions of at least 150 m laterally by 400 m vertically toward the southeast of the gold deposit. The first phase of the drill program was designed to explore the area between the 27 and 48 levels (approximately 270 metres to 480 metres below surface).

Drill results demonstrate a continuity of the S-50 (South Zone) mineralized system toward the southeast and at depth with a series of steeply dipping sub-parallel zones intersected by several of the drill holes. 6.01 gAu/tonne over 10.0 m (core length), 8.78 m (true width) in hole U-5454; 5.08 gAu/tonne over 6.4 m (core length), 1.93 m (true width) in hole U-5667; 6.61 gAu/tonne over 11.8 m (core length), 2.20 m (true width) in hole U-5402; 3.72 gAu/tonne over 11.0 m (core length), 6.75 m (true width) in hole U-5161; 5.28 gAu/tonne over 2.8 m (core length), 1.53 m (true width) in hole U-5529; 4.89 gAu/tonne over 6.1 m (core length), 4.45 m (true width) in hole U-4998; 21.07 gAu/tonne over 7.5 m (core length), 7.30 m (true width) in hole U-5454; 10.59 gAu/tonne over 5.1 m (core length), 1.53 m (true width) in hole U-5445; and 11.40 gAu/tonne over 3.5 m (core length), 1.07 m (true width) in hole U-5411. Mineralization of the S-50 Zone consists of an albitized stockwork vein-breccia-dyke complex situated along the contact between tholeitic basalts and komatiite flows.

Historic production from the S-50 Zone has provided about 93% of the 1.7 million ounces of gold produced from 10.7 million tons to date at the Kiena mine.
