WEST MINING CORP. ANNOUNCES EXPLORATION PROGRAM ON JUNKER PROPERTY

West Mining Corp. has begun an exploration program on the 100-per-cent-owned Junker property in northern British Columbia. The program will integrate existing geophysical and sampling surveys with new multispectral satellite image analysis to identify high-potential gold, copper and silver targets for follow-up field investigation this summer.

The multispectral analysis is expected to begin by examining European Space Agency Sentinel 2 images with false colour, shortwave infrared bands to create composite images with PCA results at 20 metres (m) per pixel resolution. Targets identified from this work will be defined in greater detail by high-resolution satellite image capture and analysis. These datasets will be integrated with existing airborne magnetic and field sampling surveys before follow-up in the field.

As noted in a West news release dated March 22, 2021, initial interest in the Junker property was sparked by a stream sediment sample that is above the 99th percentile gold (INNA), collected as part of the B.C. Ministry of Mines regional geochemical sampling program. Similar signatures with 98th or 99th percentile gold in stream sediment samples were returned near the historic Lawyers, Kemess and Baker Mines.

The Junker property covers 2,100 hectares and is underlain by lower to middle Jurassic marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks of the Hazelton group. In 2004, Stealth Minerals collected 19 rock samples and 13 silt samples for geochemical analysis. Rock samples consisted of grabs from float and subcrop. PIMA spectroscopy analysis was done on 16 rock samples to determine alteration.

A float sample of quartz with pyrite yielded 1.28 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and 1.69 g/t silver (sample No. 151456).

A sample of pyritic quartz vein subcrop yielded 0.1 per cent copper and 1.08 g/t gold (sample No. 151405).

A dacitic subcrop sample containing thin quartz stringers with pyrite yielded 0.4 per cent copper and 8.64 g/t silver (sample No. 151401). This sample was located about 500 metres east of sample No. 151405.

Nader Vatanchi, West Mining's chief executive officer, said: "We are excited to follow up on previous interest and begin work on our Junker property. Our goal is to advance all the projects in West's portfolio moving forward."
