West High Yield Updates Closing of Private Placement
CALGARY, Alberta, Feb. 13, 2018 -- On January 31, 2018, West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (" West High Yield" or
the "Company") (TSX-V:WHY) announced that it had completed the first tranche of its previously announced non-brokered
private placement of units ("Units") by issuing an aggregate of 2,721,581 Units at a price of $0.35 per Unit for gross proceeds
of $952,553.35. The Company also announced that it expected that the balance of the private placement (approximately
$600,000) would be completed on or before February 12, 2018. The expected subscription funds were not received prior to
February 12, 2018 and, as a result, the Company has filed final materials with the TSX Venture Exchange with respect to the
first tranche only. The private placement remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
The net proceeds of the private placement will be used for general corporate purposes and for the continuation of the
environmental base line study, environmental assessment study and mine plan and permit application and Industrial Quarry
Permit application for its Record Ridge deposit near Rossland, British Columbia. The Industrial Quarry Permit sought under
the Mines Act (British Columbia) will allow for the extraction and sale of up to 249,999 tonnes per annum of industrial rock. The
Company is also in the process of developing potential customers with processing facilities and the ability to process the
industrial rock. It is anticipated that industrial rock sales will provide cash flows from operations while continued mine plan and
permit application efforts are being made.
