Western Goldfields Inc.

Corporate Profile


Welcome to Western Goldfields, Inc. (TSX:WGI, OTC BB: WGDF). We would like to take this opportunity to thank you in advance for stopping by.

Our hope is that you will find our gold story as exciting as we do. Western Goldfields is continuing to attract investors from around the world and looks forward to the many new investors we expect in the future.

Western Goldfields, Inc. is a gold mining company with operations focused in the Western United States.

Currently the Company's principal asset is the Mesquite Mine located in Imperial County California.

The Mesquite Mine is a permitted mining and processing site using simple, low tech proven heap leach and mining processes in political stable geography - the U.S.A. Western Goldfields acquired the Mesquite Mine from Newmont Mining in 2003.

Despite being a prolific gold producer (3.0 million oz. of gold recovered from 1985 - 2001) a period of low gold prices made it uneconomic to continue operations.

In early 2006, Western Goldfields went through a corporate restructuring and a new, strong and extremely experienced team of mining people lead by Randall Oliphant took over the direction of the Company.

Since February 13th 2006, the new team has accomplished many important milestones with the objective of restarting full production of approximately 165,000 oz. of gold over a 10-year mine life.

  • Completed a new $6 million financing
  • Repaid all of the Company's loans
  • Created a new website and corporate image
  • Closed the Reno head office and relocated to Toronto
  • Completed a new NI 43-101 resource calculation (3.5 million ounces)
  • Completed a feasibility study
  • Updated shareholders on our progress and introduced the Company to the institutional and retail investment communities
  • Examined financing options for Company

While the main focus of the Company's efforts in the short term is to place Mesquite back into full production, several other important initiatives are being planned.
