WEST MINING COMMENCES DRILLING ON THE KENA COPPER

ZONE, KENA PROPERTY, BC

Vancouver, B.C. – September 21, 2021– West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE:

WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is has now commenced the 2021 diamond drilling program on the Kena

Copper Zone area of its 100% owned Kena gold and copper project in southeastern British

Columbia. A total of 4000 metres of diamond drilling is planned. The over 8500 hectare Kena

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

long favourable mineralized belt.

“The Company is very pleased to see the drill crew mobilized and work commenced on the copper

zone at the Kena Property,” stated Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO.

The Kena Copper Zone is identified by a significant copper geochemical anomaly associated with a

zone of high chargeability, lying within mafic volcanic and subvolcanic diorites of the Rossland

Group Elise Formation. The soil anomaly has dimensions of 2.5 kilometres in length by an average

of 450 metres in width as outlined by the 300 ppm copper contour. Within the anomaly there are

numerous soil samples assaying between 1,000 and 5,000 ppm copper. A total of nine wide spaced

historic drill holes were put in during the between 1981 and 2010 by five different exploration

companies to test the copper target. Broad zones of low grade copper mineralization (0.1 to 0.5%

copper) were intersected by this historic drilling. For example, drill hole 10CK-01 intersected 0.17%

Cu equivalent over its entire 396.24 metre length (Dandy, 2011; BC ARIS Report 31924).

In 2021, three fences, including deep diamond drill holes are proposed for the central core of the

Kena Copper Zone, along with 400 metre step out holes to the north and south. The 2021 Kena

Copper Zone diamond drilling is fully funded.
