"Leading exploration at West Red Lake Gold's Rowan deposit, delivering a 70% increase in Indicated gold resources at 13 g/t"
Officer Roles
Biography
Will Robinson is a Professional Geologist (P.Geo.) serving as Vice President of Exploration at West Red Lake Gold Mines, where he oversees exploration strategy and technical reporting for the company's gold projects in the Red Lake district of Ontario. He acts as the Qualified Person (QP) for the West Red Lake Project — the technical designation under NI 43-101 (National Instrument 43-101, Canada's mineral disclosure standard) that makes him legally responsible for the accuracy of the company's public geological data.
Robinson's most verifiable contribution to date is his role in growing the Rowan deposit's Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE — a formal calculation of tonnes and grade based on drilling data). Under his exploration leadership, the June 2026 MRE update delivered a 70% increase in Indicated Resources at Rowan to 755,000 tonnes containing 335,000 ounces of gold at 13 grams per tonne (g/t Au). That grade is notably high for an underground gold operation. The update incorporated 37 new diamond drill holes totaling 6,300 metres, which demonstrated continuity across multiple vein structures and extended mineralization beyond the previous resource envelope.
His work focuses on high-grade, orogenic gold systems in the Red Lake camp — one of Canada's most prolific gold-producing districts. Robinson's approach emphasizes detailed vein modeling and step-out drilling to prove geological continuity between known zones, rather than relying on wide-spaced exploration. Both the Rowan and Mt. Jamie vein systems remain open at depth and along strike, giving him clear targets for future resource expansion.
For mining investors, Robinson's significance is straightforward: he is the geologist signing off on the resource numbers that underpin West Red Lake Gold's valuation. His track record of converting exploration drilling into measurable resource growth at Rowan — and moving that deposit toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) level mine design — gives investors a concrete lens through which to judge the company's exploration execution.
