300 ZONE DRILLING HIGHLIGHTS

• EU-777                   12.61 gAu/t over 1.95 m
• EU-778                 121.33 gAu/t over 2.00 m
• EU-779                 115.66 gAu/t over 2.35 m
• EU-795A                 10.08 gAu/t over 2.10 m
• EU-796                   16.64 gAu/t over 3.60 m
• EU-799                   86.50 gAu/t over 2.10 m

Mr. Rolly Uloth, President and CEO commented, "These drifting results contain higher grades than the drill indicated grades, confirming the quality and continuity of the 300 zone. We are commencing production mining on this zone in the second half of this year. Early confirmation of their continuity gives us confidence in their potential to enhance the outlook and mining flexibility of the Eagle River mine going forward."

Of particular note are holes EU-795A and EU-796 which are 50 metre stepouts to the west and at depth.  Development should reach this lens at 875 metres depth later this year.  This development, currently in progress, will open up access to drill this lens at depth and to the west where it remains open.

The 300 Zone is a subvertically-dipping quartz vein system located 400 metres north and parallel to the Eagle River Mine's main producing structure.  Confirmation of its internal continuity and above average gold grades has been established very rapidly.  We are focused on bringing it into the mining sequence quickly with initial production scheduled for the second half of 2015.

The drifting results are favourable because of higher than drill indicated grades and the position of this drift along the lower limits of the interpreted mining block.

ABOUT WESDOME

Wesdome Gold Mines Ltd. is in its 28^th year of continuous gold mining operations in Canada that employ a profit growth approach.  The Company is currently producing from its Eagle River and Mishi gold mines in Wawa, Ontario, which have earned consistent free cash flow during times of low gold prices.  Wesdome's corporate goal is to build a profitable, long-life, sustainable gold mining Company with modest initial capital costs.  This strategy has enabled the Company to acquire strategic property and infrastructure assets in two politically stable and historically proven mining camps.  Wesdome has significant upside through ownership of its two other properties, the Kiena Mine Complex in Val d'Or, Quebec and the Moss Lake gold deposit located 100 kilometres west of Thunder Bay, Ontario.  These assets are being explored and evaluated to be developed in the appropriate gold price environment.  The Company has approximately 111.0 million shares issued and outstanding and trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "WDO".
