West Red Lake Gold Mines Ltd. provided a Q3 update on the ramp-up of the Madsen Mine in Ontario, Canada. Gold production in Q3 included 35,700 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 5.4g per tonne, resulting in 7,055 ounces of gold poured. The mine is on track for commercial production in early 2026, with a 34% increase in gold production over Q2.
