West Mining Completes Initial 2022 Diamond Drilling at Kena Gold-Copper Project, BC
WEST MINING COMPLETES INITIAL 2022 DIAMOND DRILLING
AT KENA GOLD-COPPER PROJECT, BC
Vancouver, BC – August 17, 2022 – West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company ”) ( CSE:
WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce the completion of the initial phase of the 2022
diamond drilling program at the Gold Mountain Zone of 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 mineralized belt.
The Kena Property hosts several large gold and copper zones. The Kena Gold and Gold Mountain
Zones contain the recent gold resource estimate shells, hosting 2.77 million ounces of gold inferred
and 0.56 million ounces of gold indicated at 0.25 g/t cutoff (Bird, 2021; see News Release dated May
11, 2021).
New 3D modelling and imagery has i dentified the current drill targets designed to upgrade and
expand the open ended gold resource on the Gold Mountain Zone with stepouts to the north and west.
Gold in the resource area consists of very high grade strongly silicified shoots surrounded by broad
envelopes of consistent disseminated gold mineralization . The zone transect s the permissive
geologic boundary between the Elise volcanic and Silver King intrusive units, extending for >300
metres into the altered, crackle brecciated intrusive.
Prior high grade intercepts in the Gold Mountain Zone, contained within the recently modelled target
area, include more than 100 drill intecepts of >5 g/t over average 2 metre intervals. These intervals
include very high grade intecepts such as in hole 01GM-03 which ran 29.84 g/t Au over 2.0 metres
and 240.07 g/t Au over 1.23 metres; and hole 01GM-08 which ran 172.10 g/t Au over 2.0 metres
and 13.82 g/t Au over 2.0 metres (see News Release dated March 16, 2022). The broad disseminated
gold haloes from several of the modelled holes include >100 metre true widths grading >1 g/t Au.
The initial phase of the 2022 diamond drilling program, now completed, consisted of 2400 metres in
9 diamond drill holes. Core is currently being logged and sampled and pending assay results will be
released upon receipt.
“We continue to prove the worth Gold Mountain Zone brings to the Company with expansion drilling
at the still open ended resource. Utilizing updated 3D modeling the step out program targeted the
huge potential the Zone offers , and together with recent 43 -101 numbers, West looks forward to
further growth of the Kena Property as a whole. The fact that we own the entire project 100% puts
the Company in a very strong position as we move forth and our gold resource multiplies,” states
Nicholas Houghton, CEO of West Mining Corporation.
Metallurgical test work on drill core samples from the Gold Mountain and Kena Gold Zones has now
been completed by Bureau Veritas Commodities Canada Ltd, Metallurgical Division with the final
report anticipated soon.

Properties: Kena, Daylight and Athabasca. A recent NI43 -101 resource estimate for Kena gave
561,900 oz Au indicated and 2,773,100 oz Au inferred in the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold and
Daylight Zones. The Kena Property also hosts the large Kena Copper Zone, along with with the
historic Euphrates and Gold Cup gold-silver mines. The Daylight property contains the historic past
producing Daylight, Starlight, Victoria, Irene and Great Eastern gold mines. Along trend to the north
is the Athabasca Property, with the historic Athabasca Gold Mine. The historic mines and known
mineralized zones on these three properties are structurally controlled along a 20 kilometre strike as
identified by strong geophysical signatures.
