Western Gold Exploration Limited announced the results of recent exploration work at its 100% owned Lagalochan Copper Gold Porphyry Property ("Lagalochan") in Argyll, Scotland. Exploration work for Lagalochan included: Completion of an Ionic Leach soil sampling programme, confirming and extending the results of historical deep overburden (DOB) sampling. Re-evaluation of historical drill results and exploration data, including the limited evaluation drilling completed in 2018-2019 by a subsidiary of the Company (Lorne Resources Ltd.), prior to the Company acquiring such subsidiary.

As a result of such exploration works, the Company notes: Several new exploration targets have been generated which it intends to follow-up on with further work. The drilling undertaken by its subsidiary (Lorne Resources Ltd.) at Lagalochan in 2018-2019 confirmed historical grades of the main quartz stockwork zone within the red feldspar porphyry achieved by other companies that drilled Lagalochan in 1984-1985. For example, the Lorne Resources holes LD18-4 intersected 530.5m @ 0.17% Cu, 0.11 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Ag, 68 ppm Mo from 3m downhole and LD13-1a which intersected 537m @ 0.18% Cu, 0.10 g/t Au, 2.6 g/t Ag, 73 ppm Mo from 2m downhole confirmed and extended results from LD84-15, the best hole from the previous programme which intersected 292.47m @ 0.20% Cu, 0.12 g/t Au, 3.7 g/t Ag, 47 ppm Mo from 1.9m downhole and ended in mineralisation.

Tabulated historical results for Lagalochan are presented in Appendix 1 below. The quartz stockwork zone at Lagalochan exhibits a strong phyllic overprint of original potassic alteration and indicates that the current bedrock surface is at a shallow erosional level just below the inferred lithocap that has subsequently been eroded away. It is believed that mineralisation in the stockwork zone is open to depth and is interpreted to lie above the inferred progenitor porphyry, which has not been intersected in historical drilling.

The presence of not only porphyry copper gold mineralisation, but also gold copper skarn and intermediate sulphidation gold silver epithermal type mineralisation in outcrop in various locations proximal to the main stockwork zone.
