EarthLabs (TSXV: SPOT; US-OTC: SPOFF) has released a new episode of its flagship series EarthLabs Expeditions, offering an up-close look at West Red Lake Gold Mines (TSXV: WRLG, US-OTC: WRLGF) at a pivotal moment in the company's growth.
The episode marks a return to northern Ontario where West Red Lake Gold finished its bulk sample program and conducted a first gold pour from the revitalized Madsen mine.
EarthLabs, the parent company of The Northern Miner, Mining.com and Canadian Mining Journal, shot "Pouring Gold at Record Prices" as host Jonathan Brazeau reconnected with CEO Shane Williams and his team after gold surged to $3,500 an ounce for the first time in history.
In one standout sequence, Brazeau joins mine operations supervisor JP Tetreault on a guided underground tour, observing how teams drill, blast, and muck out ore with precision. Remote-control loaders, strategic stope planning and safety-first protocols reveal how the mine is leveraging modern technology to reduce risk while boosting efficiency. Full-scale production is due in this year's second half.
