WEST MINING ANNOUNCES 2022 EXPLORATION PROGRAM

KENA GOLD-COPPER PROJECT, BC

Vancouver, BC – July 6, 2022– West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST)

(OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling on its 100% owned

Kena Gold-Copper project in southeastern British Columbia. The over 9000 hectare Kena Project,

consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties which trend along a 20 kilometre long

favourable mineralized belt.

The Kena Property hosts several gold mineralized zones, most notably the Kena Gold and Gold

Mountain Zones included in the recent resource estimate hosting 2.77 million ounces of gold inferred

and 0.56 million ounces of gold indicated at 0.25 g/t cutoff (see News Release dated May 11, 2021).

3D modelling and imagery has identified drill targets for expansion to the north and northwest of the

open ended gold resource on the Gold Mountain Zone. Gold in the resource area consists of high

grade shoots surrounded by broad envelopes of disseminated gold mineralization (see News Release

dated March 16, 2022). The initial 2022 diamond drilling will consist of 10 drill holes in this

expansion location.

“We are pleased to be commencing our drill program on the Kena Project. Along with anticipated

results from the fully funded 2022 program and taking in the fact that the successful 2021 season

results are still to be assimilated into the resource calculations, the Company is well positioned to

expand upon the previously defined gold resource. Our experienced geological and drilling crews

give us a strong probability for success,” states Nicholas Houghton, CEO of West Mining

Corporation.

Coincident with the ongoing diamond drilling program, metallurgical test work is currently being

completed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd, Metallurgical Division with results

anticipated soon.
