(“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) announces preliminary results of airborne magnetic survey, geological reconnaissance, and prospecting on the Junkers property north-central British Columbia. Highlights: Airborne magnetic survey data provided geological and structural information that served as a context for the mineralization identified by the 2004 field program Junkers occurrence confirmed with Cu, Ag values recovered from a number of mineralized float samples from talus fan surrounding Junkers showing A lineament analysis of newly acquired airborne magnetic data indicates structural lineament spatially associated with the Junker mineralization West Ridge source rocks for gold values from 2004 silt samples in both East and West valleys Hydrothermal alteration with high elemental concentrations of K, Ba also associated with structural lineament that bisects the West Ridge “West is very pleased with the field work and results from the program conducted by Iron Mask Exploration Ltd on the Junkers property. It gives the Company an excellent base to move forward, and we will expand on these favourable results with follow-up geophysics and trenching,” stated Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO of West Mining.

Historical exploration on the property consists of one geochemical sampling and prospecting field program conducted in 2004. The field work was initiated to follow-up a single 1995 RGS silt survey sample which returned 175 ppb...
