West Timmins Mining Inc (TSX:WTM) said it has intersected bonanza grade gold mineralization at the North Zone on its 100 percent owned Thorne property, part of the West Timmins gold project in Ontario, and is expanding the drilling program on its 100% owned properties.

All three holes testing the North Zone returned high-grade gold mineralization, highlighted by hole GS09-31 which returned 8.20 metres grading 13.64 grams per ton of gold, including 2.40 metres grading 41.30 g/t.

President and CEO Darin Wagner commented "These results continue to confirm the presence of multiple high grade gold zones located in close proximity to each other in the West Timmins District. This clustering of high-grade gold zones is perhaps the single most significant characteristic of the Timmins Camp.

The company now has six expanding zones of high-grade gold mineralization located within 3 kilometres of each other in the West Timmins district: the Rusk and Porphyry gold zones on the Thunder Creek joint venture, the High-grade and Central sub-zones within the Golden River West Zone, the Hwy 144 Zone where high-grade intercepts have recently been reported and now confirmation of continuity and bonanza grades from the North Zone.
