(“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce that the 2021 Phase I mapping, rock sampling and prospecting program is now complete on its 100% owned Kena gold-copper Property in southeastern British Columbia. The 9000 hectare Kena Project, consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties which trend along a 20 kilometre long favourable mineralized belt. The Kena Property hosts several gold mineralized zones, most notably the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones included in the recent resource estimate hosting 2.77 million ounces of gold inferred and 0.56 million ounces of gold indicated at a 0.25 g/t cutoff (see News Release dated May 11, 2021). The South Gold Zone, positioned 2 kilometres further south along the same structure hosting the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones, is considered a continuation of those mineralized gold zones. Prior drilling from 2002 at the South Gold Zone returned 0.9 g/t gold over 90 metres core length (true width unknown) (BC ARIS Report #27240). Adjacent to the South Gold Zone is the large Kena Copper Zone a key target of West’s current diamond drilling program (see News Release dated November 10, 2021). Along with the current drilling, the recently completed field program on the Kena Property is designed to expand and extend the gold and copper mineralization seen in the main mineralized zones. Field work including geological mapping, prospecting and collection of 163 rock grab and chip samples was completed, notably to the south and east. The work was wide ranging and includes: the “Southern Extension” comprised of geophysical and geochemical anomalies trending over 9 kilometres south from the Kena Copper Zone and hosting the historic Euphrates and Gold Cup mine areas; the “Royal Trend”, located only 850 metres east of the Gold Mountain Zone resource area, is represented by a 1200 metre long geochemical and geophysical target running between the historic Dighem and Prince Zones; expansion of the Kena Copper and South Gold Zones. “These mapping and rock sampling locations lie outside of the area included in the recent gold resource estimation and outside of the current diamond drilling area. The high quality and success of the field work our team has completed to date ...
