Western Alaska Minerals Return Drill Rigs to Illinois Creek

Western Alaska Minerals is commencing drilling at the Illinois Creek project in Alaska. The goal is to link the 8km long system from Water Pump Creek to the past producing Illinois Creek Oxide Gold Silver Mine. The company will be drilling at LH and Warm Springs, targeting high-grade zones of massive sulfide.

The historic drilling at LH and Warm Springs was focused on extending mineralization for mining and did not assay for lead, zinc, and silver. The current drilling program is budgeted for 4,000 meters, but there is room for expansion if necessary.
