Western Exploration Mobilizes for 2025 Drill

Program at Wood Gulch

Targeting Bonanza-Grade Gold-Silver Zones at Aura Project,

Nevada

Reno, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - July 22, 2025) - Western Exploration Inc. (TSXV: WEX) (OTCQX:

WEXPF) (the "

Company

" or "

Western Exploration

") is pleased to announce that the Company has

officially mobilized crews and equipment to the Wood Gulch target at its flagship, 100% owned Aura

Project, located 80km north of Elko, Nevada.

"Mobilization marks an exciting milestone for our 2025 program," said Darcy Marud, CEO and

President. "We're targeting one of the most underexplored and historically high-grade areas on the

property. Wood Gulch, originally mined by Homestake in the late 1980's, has seen little modern

exploration but our updated model-enhanced by exploration success at our Gravel Creek deposit

indicates strong potential for new mineralization in this very prospective area."

Groundwork has commenced including final preparation of drill platforms and clearing up access roads.

Expectations are for drilling to commence in approximately 1 week.

The fully funded

4,000-meter diamond drill program

will focus on extensions of historic high-grade

gold-silver mineralization associated with the

Tomasina Fault Zone

, including areas down-dip of the

past-producing Wood Gulch open pit.
