Announces Commencement of Gold Drilling Program at Midnight Gold ClaimCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 5, 2022) - West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WHY) (\"West High Yield\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce it has commenced its 2022 gold drill program (the \"2022 Program\") which was initiated by the signing of a drilling contract (the \"Contract\") with West Kootenay Diamond Drilling Services Ltd. (the \"Contractor\"), whereby the Contractor will drill holes of up 20,000 feet and carry out ancillary services in relation thereto over the course of the Contract.
