West Mining Corp. Identifies Several Geochemical Anomalies at its Spanish Mountain West Project, BC
WEST MINING IDENTIFIES SEVERAL GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALIES
AT ITS SPANISH MOUNTAIN WEST PROJECT, BC
December 1, 2021 - Vancouver, B.C. – West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST)
(OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce that it has received the analytical results and a summary report
from Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. (CMG) for exploration work completed at the Company’s 100%
owned Spanish Mountain West gold project in southern-central British Columbia. The program was
successful in identifying multi-element and multi-station soil anomalies of key pathfinder elements
associated with gold mineralization at the nearby Spanish Mountain deposit.
The 1062 hectare Spanish Mountain West Property lies within the Quesnel Terrain and is predominately
underlain by the Nicola Group volcanic and sedimentary rock package. Mineralization in the Spanish
Mountain deposit is characterized as finely disseminated gold associated with pyrite in argillites and as
polymetallic-gold veins hosted in Nicola volcanic sequences.
The CMG program identified shallow, low grade, pathfinder elements such as arsenic, mercury and
bismuth. However, more importantly, base metals including lead, zinc, and copper +/- arsenic and silver
were identified in soils across the property, all known indicators of gold in the area.
“The Company is very pleased with the field program and results from the work conducted by CMG on the
project. Moving forward we will expand on these favourable results with follow-up geophysics and
trenching,” stated Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO of West Mining.
A total of 980 soil samples were collected from three separate grid areas: the Oscar North, Spanish Lake
and Spanish Southwest.
The Oscar North Grid shows elevated base metals Cu-Pb-Zn and the shallow indicator element As. Most
notable on this grid is a single station multi-element soil location in the center of the claim, exhibiting
elevated As-Bi-Pb-Zn and is directly north of the Oscar gold showing. Also notable is the presence of
elevated Pb-Zn results throughout the entirety of the grid. At the Oscar gold discovery immediately to the
south, Skygold Ventures (BC ARIS #30144) outlined a 150 metre long soil anomaly with corresponding
pyritic black argillite/phyllite rock samples assaying up to 2.11 ppm Au.
The Spanish Lake Grid was designed to extend an adjacent Au-in-soil anomaly located west of the grid.
A weak As-Ag-Au trend was identified continuing 450 metres to the middle of the grid. A single Au-As
anomalous station in the upper NE corner of this grid is in proximity to a structural inflection point defined
by an adjacent gully; this station returned the highest gold value of the program.
On the Spanish Southwest Grid soil sampling clearly identified the contact between prospective Nicola
basalts and the younger sedimentary rocks. Au-Ag-As values appear to trend for over 2 kilometres along
this defined contact. The center of the grid displays a strong single-station multi-element soil anomaly (As-
Cu-Zn-Ag), which is surrounded by weakly anomalous As-Au at neighbouring stations, all of which occur
near the geological contact of interest. Follow-up work in this area is recommended, due to the strong As-
Au correlation found by Bullion Gold to the east and the presence of elevated anomalies adjacent to the
contact. Additionally, multiple stations of ~1g/t Ag exist in the southern portion of the grid, with weak Au
anomalies and surrounding moderate Cu-Zn anomalies. Work performed by Bullion Gold Corp. (BC ARIS
#32720) in 2007 immediately east of the Spanish Southwest area showed a positive gold-in-soil response
(with correlative arsenic) on a similar mapped contact.
CMG has recommended additional exploration for the geochemically anomalous zones, including ground
geophysics and excavator trenching in areas of shallow overburden. Geophysics will target the contact area
between conductive argillites and resistive wacke sequences. This boundary is believed to be an important
area of gold mineralization, along with Au hosted in low resistivity black argillites.

About West Mining Corp.
West Mining Corp. is a mineral exploration company acquiring and developing advanced and prospective
early-stage exploration projects. It is focused on its 100% owned, 9000 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, at a cut off of 0.25 g/t Au, contained within 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.
