West Mining Commences Drilling on the Daylight Property, BC
WEST MINING COMMENCES DRILLING ON THE DAYLIGHT
PROPERTY, BC
Vancouver, B.C. – June 21, 2021– West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST)
(OTC: WESMF) is has initiated the 2021 diamond drilling program on the Daylight Property
portion of its 100% owned Kena gold and copper project in southeastern British Columbia. The over
8000 hectare Kena Project, consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties which trend
along a 20 kilometre long favourable mineralized belt.
Gold mineralization on the 270 hectare Daylight Property was included as part of the recent resource
estimate (see News Release dated May 11, 2021). Through analysing historic data, 2 key gold target
areas for 2021 diamond drilling have been identified– the Great Western Zone and the Starlight
Trend. Up to 2000 metres of drilling will be completed in this initial drill phase on the Daylight
Property.
The Great Western Zone
The Great Western Zone was initially identified by a strong gold geochemical signature measuring
700 x 300 metres. Previous diamond drilling in 2017 (BC ARIS Report #37536) returned several
gold intercepts, including 1.09 g/t Au over 71.22 metres in hole DL17007. Within this broad zone
of gold mineralization, narrower high grade gold intervals returned values of 21.2 g/t Au over 0.48m,
7.36 g/t Au over 0.50 m and 9.0 g/t Au over 0.5 m. A second drill hole DL17005, collared 200
metres to the northwest intersected a second zone of gold mineralization grading 1.06 g/t over 36
metres, including gold intercepts of 63.7 g/t Au over 0.9 m, 20.9 g/t Au over 0.5 m, 11.6 g/t Au over
0.79 m and 10.3 g/t Au over 0.6 m. Note: true widths for these previous drill intercepts is not known.
Two fences of diamond drill holes in 2021 are planned to test the extent of this prior mineralization
in the Great Western Zone target area.
The Starlight Trend
Along the 3 kilometre long Starlight trend, a series of short fan drill holes will test step out
mineralization from the Starlight shear/vein system where prior sampling returned 23 g/t gold over
1.0 metre chip sample and 30.4 g/t gold over 0.3 metres in drill core (BC ARIS Report #27240).
“It’s exciting to see the drill crew mobilized and work commenced on the gold zones at the Daylight
Property. With the availability of abundant data and a geological team very familiar with the area we
are able to maximise time in the field and minimize costs with precise drilling on the identified
targets” stated Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO.
The 2021 exploration program for the Daylight Property is fully funded and permitted.

West Mining Corp. is a mineral exploration company acquiring and developing advanced and
prospective early-stage exploration projects. It is fully focused on its 100% owned, 8000 hectare
Kena Project located near Nelson, British Columbia. The Kena Project comprises three adjoining
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.
