[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce that it has now acquired 5 additional mineral tenures to add to its 100% owned Athabasca Property in southeastern British Columbia. The addition of these 5 tenures increases the listed size of the Athabasca Property to over 975 hectares*. The Athabasca Property, containing the historic Athabasca Mine, represents the northern extension to West’s larger Kena Project. The over 9000 hectare Kena Project, consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties, which trend for 20 kilometres along a favourable mineralized belt. A recent gold resource estimate for the Kena Project (NI 43-101 Technical Report, Bird, 2021) shows an indicated 561,000 ounces gold and an inferred 2.77 million ounces gold at a 0.25 g/t cutoff within an open ended portion of this robust system (see News Release dated May 11, 2021). “The historic Athabasca Mine (BC Minfile 082FSW168), operated intermittently between 1899 and 1943, grading 30 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver with minor copper, lead and zinc values from 20,219 tonnes milled. The opportunity arose to consolidate and increase our tenures and judging on past numbers alone, it will be beneficial to the Company and our shareholders,” commented Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO. *This represents the official claim sizes as obtained from BC Mineral Titles Online, although the actual ground coverage is less due to claim overlaps.
