WEST Mining Reports Results from Soil Geochemical Sampling and Ground Geophysical Surveying FOR the Blue Cove Copper Project

Exploration Programs

WEST MINING REPORTS RESULTS FROM SOIL GEOCHEMICAL

SAMPLING AND GROUND GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYING FOR

THE BLUE COVE COPPER PROJECT

Vancouver, BC– September 28, 2022– West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE:

WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce that it has received the final result for the

Company’s 2022 soil sampling program from it’s Blue Cove Copper Project located in

Newfoundland. A total of 232 samples were collected over four separate target areas on the Project.

These areas include the Hilltop, Ryles Barisway, Yellow Cove and Blue Cove targets.

In addition, a ground magnetometer survey was completed on the Hilltop Target. Results and maps

related to the results of the ground work has been made available on the Company’s website.

The results of the exploration work proved successful in defining geochemical targets of interest in

all areas with the most compelling of these related to the Hilltop Target. A defining multi-element

copper, zinc and silver anomaly correlating directly with a geological contact based on magnetic data

was defined across the length of the survey area. This geochemical/geophysical target is located in

an area where a single 184 foot drill hole by prospectors utilizing a winkie drill intersected a 5 foot

interval with individual samples grading up to 0.49% Cu, 2.0% Pb and 1.9% Zn historically.

Geochemical targets were also identified on the west side of the Ryles Barisway grid in the area of

known copper mineralization. Additional work is required to followup on this target to better delinate

the anomaly. At the main Blue Cove showing, the difficult terrain in the area made it impossible to

perform soil sampling in an effective manner. Samples in the general area of Blue Cove did however

highlight a zinc anomaly in the area.

Area Map of the Soil Survey Locations

The results of the first exploration program at Blue Cove Project illustrate the need for additional

work to be performed.

Nick Houghton, President and CEO comments, “It is very encouraging to see the final soil sample

results returned from the lab with defining anomalous outcrops along the expanse of the Blue Cove

project. The area has proven its worth to the Company as an exploration target and merits further

delineation”

Soil samples were collected in a careful and diligent manner. Samples were tagged and secured prior

to shipment to Eastern Analytical Labs located in Springdale, Newfoundland. Eastern Analytical is

a 17025 ISO accredited commercial laboratory in operation since 1987. All samples were assayed

using the ICP (Induced Couple Plasma) multi-element package with fire assay for gold.
