West Mining Completes Historic Core Resampling Program on Its Kena Property for Incorporation in Updated Resource Estimation
WEST MINING COMPLETES HISTORIC CORE RESAMPLING PROGRAM
ON ITS KENA PROPERTY FOR INCORPORATION IN UPDATED RESOURCE
ESTIMATION
Vancouver, B.C. – November 6, 2024 – West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST)
(OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce it has now received final assay results from an extensive historic
core resampling program completed on its 100% owned Kena Property.
A total of 66 historic diamond drill holes, from 2001 to 2017, were resampled. 481 core samples were
assayed, along with 73 assay standards and 49 blanks. The drill core resampling program was initiated
upon the recommendation from the author of West’s 2021 Technical Report on the Kena and Daylight
Properties, Sue Bird, P.Eng. of Moose Mountain Technical Services (“MMTS”). This Report highlights
over 2.77 million ounces of gold in the inferred category as well as over 561,000 ounces of gold in the
indicated category (for full details see News Release dated May 11, 2021 and the Company’s public
disclosure record available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com).
For the 2021 Technical Report, the resource database w as verified and deemed acceptable. However,
MMTS recommended a robust check assay sampling program to upgrade the QAQC standards of the
historic drilling to today’s more stringent ones. The goal of this resampling program , including the
insertion of additional certified standards and blanks is to allow the author to upgrade a portion of the
2021 resource estimate from the inferred into the indicated category.
As well, the new resource estimate will incorporate 32 diamond drill holes completed since t he 2021
Technical Report. New drilling from 2021 and 2022 includes: from the Kena Property - 10 holes in the
Gold Mountain Zone, 1 hole on the Kena Gold Zone and 7 holes in the Kena Copper Zone, and from the
Daylight Property – 8 holes on the Great Western Zone and 6 holes along the Starlight trend (see News
Releases dated: October 13, 2021; January 12, 2022; May 3, 2022; May 24, 2022; January 11, 2023).
For the historic drill core resampling program, s amples were shipped to MSALABS fa cility in Langley,
BC. In the laboratory, using PRP-941, samples were dried, crushed to 80% passing 2mm, then pulverized
to 85% passing 75um. A 50g pulp split was fire assayed for gold with an atomic absorption finish (FAS-
121) and 48 additional elements were analyzed from a 0.25g split utilizing a 4-acid digestion with an ICP-
MS finish (IMS-230). Field inserted standards (certified reference materials) and blanks were purchased
from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley, BC.
MSALABS maintains the highest quality standards and follow the guidelines of ISO17025 accreditation
and ISO9001, ISO14001 and ISO45001 certification. In the laboratory, blanks (analytical and method),
duplicates and standard reference materials are internally inserted in the sequences of client
samples. Using these inserted quality control samples each analytical batch and complete job is rigorously
reviewed and validated by MSALABS prior to release. The QA/QC results confirm analytical accuracy
and precision.
Sue Bird, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain Technical Services will be contracted to complete the new NI43 -
101 compliant resource estimation and Technical Report.
Linda Dandy, P.Geo., a "Qualified Person" for the purpose of National Instrument 43- 101, has reviewed
