WEST Mining Corp. Core Sampling Program Designed to Upgrade Current Resource ON Its 100% Owned Kena Project
WEST MINING CORP. CORE SAMPLING PROGRAM DESIGNED TO
UPGRADE CURRENT RESOURCE ON ITS 100% OWNED KENA
PROJECT
APRIL 19, 2024 - VANCOUVER, B.C. - WEST MINING CORP. (“WEST” OR THE
“COMPANY”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) (FRA: 1HL) is pleased to announce plans to
complete an extensive core resampling program on its 100% owned Kena and Daylight Properties,
collectively known as the Company’s flagship “Kena” Gold and Copper Project, located in the
Nelson Mining District of southeastern British Columbia.
In 2021, Moose Mountain Technical Services (“MMTS”) produced a resource estimate for the
Kena and Daylight Properties outlining over 2.77 million ounces of gold in the inferred category
as well as over 561,000 ounces of gold in the indicated category with a base cut-off grade within
the “reasonable prospects of eventual economic extraction” constraining pit of 0.25 g/t gold .

The resource estimate includes 252 drill holes. Drill results indicate zones of “bulk-tonnage type”
gold mineralization, with multiple holes containing 100 metre wide zones averaging >1 g/t gold.
Several holes also intersected higher grade gold, indicating a gold-enriched zones, spatially related
to faults and geological contacts. Drilling to date has also intersected 154 high grade structural
shoots of 5.08 to 240.07 g/t gold over average 1.5 metre width s occur ring largely within the
homogenous lower grade halos. The table below summarizes the Total Mineral Resource estimate
for the Kena Project.

In the 2021 Technical Report MMTS recommends, that although the resource database has been
verified and is deemed acceptable, a robust check assay sampling program including QAQC
samples be conducted using a certified laboratory comprising 5- 10% of core for years for which
drill core is available to compensate for missing certificates, lack of QAQC samples in historic
core and a potential bias noted in the 2012 drilling QAQC and 2001-2002 check assays.
The majority of the core resampling has now been completed with 26 holes remaining to be
sampled. Completed res ampling to date consists of 438 core samples and 91 QAQC inserted
blanks and standards to bring the sampling protocols up to current quality control standards.
Core samples are analysed by MSA Labs in Langley, BC. MSA Labs has high quality standards,
including both ISO 17025 (Testing and Calibration Laboratories) accreditation and ISO 9001
(Quality Management Systems) certification. In the laboratory, blanks (analytical and method),
coarse 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 MSA prior to release. Field inserted standards (certified
reference materials) and blanks were purchased from CDN Resource Laboratories Ltd. of Langley,
British Columbia.
Upon completion of the sampling program, this information along with results from 31 holes from
West’s diamond drill programs (see News Releases dated January 12, 2022, May 3, 2022 and May
24, 2022) completed after the 2021 resource estimation will be submitted to MMTS to recalculate
the Kena and Daylight Properties current resource estimation.
The Company would also like to announce that it has entered into an investor relations services
agreement with Mac Foster & Company Ltd. (“MF&C”) effective April 19, 2024. Pursuant to the
agreement, MF&C has agreed to provide investor communication and on-line marketing services

CAD. The services include content creation and publishing, digital and social media marketing,

Nader Vatanchi, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said “with the recent rise in gold prices
as of April 19, 2024, we believe the C ompany and its assets are undervalued. The C ompany will
make effort to improve its financial position in order to advance its projects and also increase
visibility of the Company as a whole in the coming months.”
