WEST HIGH YIELD PROVIDES A CORPORATE UPDATE

CALGARY, ALBERTA – April 5, 2023 – West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. ("West High Yield" or the

"Company") (TSXV: WHY) is pleased to provide an update on the status of its mining permit progress for the

Record Ridge magnesium deposit located 10 kilometres southwest of Rossland, British Columbia ("Record Ridge"

or the " Project") and on the status of its nearby Midnight Gold drilling program (the " Midnight Gold Drilling

Program").

Record Ridge Mining Permit

As of March 31, 2023, the Company has submitted all mater ial information, mine site engineering designs, and

corresponding reports requested by the British Columbia Ministry of Mines (the " Ministry") in response to its

questions and comments of July 2022 stemming from its amended permit application for Record Ridge Industrial

Critical mineral mine. The Ministry has a multi-step pe rmit review process where major issues are identified

upfront, followed by a detailed technical review. The Comp any and its consultants are scheduled to meet with the

Ministry in the near future to discuss the Ministry’s feedback on the requested material that has been submitted by

the Company and to determine the next steps forward.

While adhering to the established permit process, the Comp any is also initiating a formal Request for Proposal

(RFP) process to invite interested groundworks contracting companies with expertise in mine site development and

on-site road construction to submit th eir bids. The Company has already received engineering drawings for mine

site development from SRK Consulting (www.srk.com) and has held previous discussions with site development

contractors and mining contractors. The Company is requesting the submission of bids by June 30 th, 2023. Once

the mining permit is granted, the Company plans to exped ite mine site development and begin mining the ore to

fulfill the terms as contemplated in the Galaxy Magnesium LOI of December 6, 2021, which aims to sell Record

Ridge ore @ USD$ 500/tonne and generate cash flow.

"The Company, has been diligent in addressing all requests from the Ministry and remains vigilant in seeing the

Record Ridge Permit process through to completion. The Company in conjunction with the Consultants, is working

persistently to successfully complete the Permit process as soon as po ssible,” said Frank Marasco Jr., West High

Yield’s Chief Executive Officer and President.

Midnight Gold Drilling

As previously press released, the Midnight Gold Drilli ng Program of 2022 yielded positive results in multiple

intervals and zones. While the 2022 Midnight Gold Drilli ng of all planned holes was completed, core cutting,

logging, and assaying of approximately 800 meters could not be completed due to inclement weather that forced

operations to cease earlier than expected. The Company plans to resume the core cutting, logging, and assaying as

soon as site access is safe and weather conditions allow, with an expected start date of May and completion in 4-6

weeks. The Company will be releasing additional gold drilling results from the Midnight Gold Drilling Program as

they become available.
