[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Kirkland Mining Inc. (TSX-V:WKM) (“West Kirkland”, “WKM” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide an update on current exploration work at the Hasbrouck Gold Project, Nevada. New WKM sampling has been completed involving 325 surface samples and 6,500 feet of exposed continuous chip samples, with assays pending. The sampling was targeted to extend historic gold values which were better than Hasbrouck grades over a distance of 1,608 feet at surface. (See table below) Ongoing exploration work is directed at identifying and testing targets at or near surface with the potential for increasing the company’s existing gold Resources and Reserves within trucking distance of the Company’s planned and permitted heap leach facilities at the Three Hills and Hasbrouck Mines. The September 14, 2016 Updated Preliminary Feasibility Study (“PFS”) for The Hasbrouck and Three Hills Gold-Silver Project estimates Proven & Probable Reserves of 784,000 gold equivalent oz, (45,270,000 tons at 0.017 Au oz/ton for 762,000 contained Au oz; 0.233 Ag oz/ton for 10,569,000 contained Ag ounces – gold equivalent ounces derived from metal prices of 18.21 for silver and $1,275 for gold, and recoveries of 75.7% for gold and 11% for silver). “We are very excited about the potential for new at-surface gold zones within sight of our Reserves that could be processed at the facilities we have designed and permitted for the Hasbrouck Gold Project,” said Sandy McVey COO of West Kirkland Mining. GOLD MOUNTAIN TARGET AREA An extensive mapping and sampling program is in progress by WKM where surface gold values have been found in historic road-cut sampling and drill holes. Surface investigations are currently focused on Gold Mountain, 1.6 km east of the Hasbrouck deposit. The new sampling has identified well-altered and silicified beds above or below the sampled road-cuts. Gold Mountain Target Area Gold Mountain Target Area, Looking East Mapping by WKM has found previously unrecorded and unsampled sub-horizontal zones of strong silicification in the Siebert volcanic formation, which is the host of the Hasbrouck deposit. Previous flat-driven road-cuts sampled during previous work have provided continuous chip gold samples as shown on the map and table below. ...
