Western Alaska Minerals Corp. announced that its first assay results from the initial phase of its second-year drilling program on the 100% owned Waterpump Creek ("WPC") Carbonate Replacement Deposit. Hole WPC23-0029 was part of a 3-drill hole in-fill program at WPC which intersected two zones of CRD style mineralization.

Detailed description of these intercepts were previously reported. This hole was completed 28 meters east of hole WPC22-18, which intersected what is believed to be a feeder chimney with multiple high-grade zones of mineralization. Hole WPC23-0029 ended in an 8 cm section of (open) mineralization, consisting of sphalerite and galena, hosted within recrystallized dolostone at 279.2 meters.

At this point, the hole was lost, and it is unknown whether this mineralization continues at depth. Assay results are pending for the core recovered at the end of the hole.
