WEST MINING CORP. ANNOUNCES EXPLORATION PROGRAM ON SPANISH MOUNTAIN WEST PROPERTY

West Mining Corp. has commenced its 2024 exploration program on the 100-per-cent-owned Spanish Mountain West property in central British Columbia. As a first step, the program will integrate new multispectral satellite image analysis with existing geophysical and sampling surveys to identify high-potential gold, copper and silver targets for follow-up field investigation this summer.

The multispectral analysis will use digital image processing based on the European Space Agency Sentinel 2 MultiSpectral Instrument data, augmented with CBERS4A, Landsat (land satellite) and Aster (advanced space-borne thermal emission and reflection radiometer) imagery to create composite images based on principal component analysis (PCA) targeting potential mineral alteration occurrences. Targets identified from this work will be defined in greater detail by high-resolution satellite image capture and analysis. These data sets will be integrated with existing airborne magnetic and field sampling surveys before follow-up in the field.

As noted in a West Mining news release dated Dec. 1, 2021, previous soil geochemical surveys successfully identified multielement and multistation soil anomalies of key pathfinder elements associated with gold mineralization at the nearby Spanish Mountain deposit.

The Spanish Mountain West property covers 1,062 hectares and is underlain by Middle to Upper Triassic basalts of the Nicola group in the southwest and Middle to Upper Triassic sedimentary strata of the Slocan group to the northwest.

Nader Vatanchi, West Mining's chief executive officer, said: "We are happy to begin work on the Spanish Mountain West property and expand on the previous work done in 2021. The company looks forward to the results for this project and for the Junker project, respectively."

The company also announces that Linda Dandy, PGeo, has resigned from her position as vice-president of exploration of the company, effectively immediately, to focus on other endeavours. However, Ms. Dandy will continue to support the company as a consultant. The board and management of the company thanks Ms. Dandy for her past and future contributions to the company.

Dr. Harrison Cookenboo, PhD, PGeo, a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101, has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
