[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, British Columbia / Oct 26, 2022 / Business Wire / Western Exploration Inc. (TSXV: WEX) (OTCQX: WEXPF) (the \"Company\" or \"Western Exploration\") is pleased to provide an update regarding the initial assay results following the completion of the Company's Phase 1 drill program at Doby George, one of three main mineral deposits located at the Company's wholly-owned Aura project, located in Elko County, Nevada (the \"Aura Project\"). DRILL HIGHLIGHTS DGC789 intersected 20.88 meters of 1.41 g/t and 23.63 meters of 3.27 g/t Au, including 7.32 meters of 5.27 g/t Au. DGC790 intersected 54.56 meters of 2.08 g/t Au, including 6.4 meters of 4.70 g/t Au. Darcy Marud, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Western Exploration, commented: \"The first two drill holes completed at Doby George demonstrate the remarkable continuity and tenor of near surface oxide gold mineralization and support our assumption that Doby George can be a high-quality, high-grade oxide gold deposit. Importantly, wide zones of higher-grade mineralization offer potential to expand the current resources, not only within the oxide zone but also at depth within the unoxidized part of Doby George.\" The complete results for DGC789 and DGC790 are reported below in Table 1. Assay results for the remaining seven drill holes are pending.

(2) DGC789 AuCN/AuFA ratios range from 80 to 113%, based on 26 samples; DGC790 AuCN/AuFA ratios range from 55 to 115%, based on 32 samples, with only three samples below 80%; all AuCN values were capped at 100% of the AuFA assays. All sample intervals were assayed by both fire assay (AuFA) and cyanide soluble shake tests (AuCN) followed up by atomic absorption finish. The AuCN results are a measure of the solubility of Au in dilute CN solutions and the state of oxidation of the samples. An AuCN/AuFA ratio of greater than 80% generally indicates strong oxidati...
