registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer
to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any State in which such offer, solicitation or sale would

Option Agreement respecting the Kena and Daylight Properties
West has entered into a property option agreement dated as of December 23, 2020 (the “Option
Agreement”) with Boundary Gold and Copper Mining Ltd. (“Boundary”), and Boundary’s wholly-owned
subsidiary, 1994854 Alberta Ltd., respecting the Kena and Daylight gold-copper properties (collectively,
the “Property”). Under the Option Agreement, West has the option to earn a 100% undivided right, title
and interest in and to the Property, comprised of 174 mineral claims and 11 crown grants located in the
Nelson Mining District in the Province of British Columbia, and covering 8,810 hectares.
To earn an initial 80% interest in the Property , West is requir ed to: make aggregate cash payments of
$1,325,000 over an 18 month period; issue an aggregate of 7,361,112 common shares over an 18 month
period; and make an aggregate of $2,100,000 in exploration expenditures on the Property over a 20 month
period. On execution of the Option Agreement, West made an initial cash payment of $325,000 to
Boundary and made an initial issuance of 1,805,556 shares to Boundary. All shares issued under the Option
Agreement will be subject to a four month hold period under applicable securities laws and will also be
subject to an 18 month voluntary escrow, with shares to be released from such escrow in four equal tranches

by making an additional cash payment of $2,000,000 to Boundary on or before the date that is 180 days
following the date of exercise of the 80% option. If West earns an 80% interest in the Property but does not
