WESTERN GOLD FILES ANNUAL FINANCIALS AND PROVIDES OPERATIONAL UPDATE

For Immediate Release

North Berwick, Scotland April 27, 2021

WESTERN GOLD EXPLORATION LTD. (TSX Venture: WGLD) (the “Company”) announces that it has

filed its audited consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the year

ended December 31, 2020, which can be found under the Company’s profile on SEDAR (www.sedar.com),

and which sets forth detailed operating and financial results for the Company for 2020.

The year 2020 was a transformational year for the Company, and the following are the highlights:

 The Company completed its “Qualifying Transaction” under the Policies of the TSX Venture Exchange,

including a CAD$1.7 million concurrent financing, a consolidation and name change – see the

Company’s October 27, 2020 press release.

 Exploration and evaluation advances in Scotland – see the Company’s December 2, 2020 press

release.

 The Company completed a CAD$1,300,000 non-brokered private placement of common shares – see

the Company’s December 23, 2020 press release.

The Company is well funded at this time and remains on target to execute on its proposed Q2 2021 drilling

campaign. This drilling campaign is expected to include:

 The completion of the deep overburden survey over the interpreted 1,800-metre strike length of the

Stronchullin (Knapdale) vein system, which was commenced in September 2020.

 An initial phase of diamond drilling based on the results of exploration and geological surveys, with the

subsequent planned phases subject to further modifications based on the initial phase results.

 Further investigation of Gossan Burn at Knapdale, already identified as a prospect for copper.

Following the completion of this drilling campaign, the Company plans to develop further exploration

programs for Knapdale, Lagalochan, and other exploration targets in the region. Potential prospects include

Lagalochan, where mineral rights are already held, neighbouring sites to the Stronchullin site and other

sites across the Dalradian belt being considered by the Company.
