Western Alaska Update on its Initial Resource at Waterpump Creek
Western Alaska Minerals CEO Kit Marrs discusses the company's initial inferred resource for Waterpump Creek in the Illinois Creek Project in Alaska. The resource contains 75 million ounces of silver equivalent, with a high-grade of 977 grams per ton silver equivalent. The resource is relatively insensitive to cutoff grade, indicating a large margin for potential mining. Marrs also discusses the next round of growth, focusing on the LH South area and the Warm Springs target. The market reaction to the resource has been positive, with increased trading volume and a bounce in the company's share price. Marrs plans to start drilling in June and will announce the company's exploration plans for 2024.
