WEST Mining Corporation Provides Update ON the Blue Cover Copper Project
WEST MINING CORPORATION PROVIDES UPDATE ON
THE BLUE COVE COPPER PROJECT
Vancouver, BC– October 27th, 2022 – West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE:
WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to provide an update on its Blue Cove Copper Project located
at the head of Fortune Bay, Newfoundland. The Company has completed a review of its 2022
exploration efforts and based on positive results to date,will continue with further exploration on the
Property. The Blue Cove Property, located near excellent infrastructure and deep sea port, consist
of 232 contiguous claims covering a 5800 hectare area. Only a small portion of the property has
been investigated and continued exploration efforts are warranted.
Nick Houghton, President and CEO comments, “We have been very encouraged by the initial results
from the first phase of our exploration on the Blue Cove Property. The project has proven its merit
to the Company though it has only seen limited work historically. Given our early findings of high
grade copper, additional work is deemed necessary to advance this project to the next level in a
diligent and cost effective manner.”
First phase reconnaissance exploration efforts on the Property have identified four key areas of
interest with other new targets recently identified. The results of the 2022 exploration work can be
found in Press Releases dated August 02, 2022 and September 28, 2022. The main targets currently
under priority investigation include:
Blue Cove - Significant outcrop showing with high grade copper up to 3.56% Cu assayed.
Copper sulphides occurs as chalcocite, bornite and chalcopyrite, Notable silver and zinc
assays are also present.
Hilltop– Newly identified multi-element soil geochemical anomaly with coincident magnetic
low feature and where historical drilling has intersected individual intersections within a 5
foot interval assaying up to 0.49% Cu, 2.0% Pb and 1.9% Zn.
Yellow Cove – Large alteration zone with multi-element soil geochemical anomalies.
RylesBarisway– Known copper minerlization in outcrop with surface samples grading 3.0%
Cu. A recent soil geochemistry survey requires further delineation of anomalous samples on
the west side of the recon grid area.
Moving forward, the Company plans on continued prospecting of the known target areas as well as
follow-up on nearly identified prospective areas and overall prospecting of the Property in general
including key geological structures of interest. Additional work expanding areas of soil geochemical
sampling and continued ground geophysical techniques including magnetometer and induced
polarization/resistivity surveying will also be undertaken. Should exploration results warrant, a drill
program would likely be the next step to advance the project. A decision on drilling will be made
once all data is carefully evaluated.

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.
