West High Yield Announces Technical Report
CALGARY, Alberta, May 01, 2019 -- West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (the "Company") (TSXV: WHY) is pleased to
announce conclusions and recommendations of a Stage 1 Pre-Feasibility Study (“PFS”) report conducted by Kingston
Process Metallurgy Inc. (“KPM”) of Kingston, Ontario providing an evaluation of Magnesium processing and recovery
alternatives and metallurgical testing on the Company’s Magnesium bearing serpentine. The PFS Stage 1 testing focused on
leaching and purification tests and development of basic process data required to complete engineering design and economic
analysis.
KPM's report stated “overall, the work has clearly demonstrated that it is possible to produce a high purity (>99%) Magnesium
chloride (“MgCl₂”) solution from Record Ridge material using a commercially proven Hydrochloric acid (“HCl”) based treatment
process. This solution would be suitable for the production of high value, high purity Magnesium Oxide (“MgO”) and flame
retardant quality Magnesium hydroxide (“Mg(OH)2”) using a commercially proven pyrohydrolysis.” KPM recommended the
Company proceed to Stage 2 of the PFS involving completion of the engineering design and costing.
The Company is encouraged by these results. Several key assumptions will need to be confirmed with further investigation and
optimized testing. This includes, but is not limited to, locked cycle leach, effective industrial scale liquid solid separations,
comprehensive heat and mass balances.
The Company also announces that it has settled the class action claim disclosed in note 14 to its annual audited financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 2018. As a result of the settlement, the Company agreed to pay $99,000.
