WEST MINING CORP. ANNOUNCES EXPLORATION PROGRAM ON JUNKER COPPER GOLD SILVER PROPERTY

West Mining Corp.'s continuing compilation of multiple geological, geophysical and geochemical data sets has identified targets for further exploration in a planned summer field program at the Junker copper-gold-silver property in north-central British Columbia.

The field program will follow up and expand upon targets identified from limited rock sampling in 2021 that yielded significant copper, gold and silver results. A total of 10 rock/float samples returned highest copper values of 5.53, 2.29, 2.20 and 1.38 per cent, as well as silver values of 24.00, 5.12, 8.46 and 11.85 parts per million from the same samples. A high value of 0.85 ppm gold was returned from another sample from the same area. All of these mineralized samples are from the vicinity of the Junker mineral showing established in 2004 based on a grab sample carrying 1.08 ppm Au (B.C. Minfile No. 094E 299).

A recently completed multispectral satellite data analysis adds new targets for West Mining's 2025 field program. The multispectral analysis independently identified the Junker mineral showing based on principal component analysis and another 46 sites worthy of follow-up field inspection. Images from three multispectral satellites (Sentinel-2 MSI, Landsat-8 and Aster), as well as radar from the Alos Palsar sensor to create a digital terrain model, were analyzed leading to the new PCA targets. The multispectral analysis was completed for West by Avant Exploration. As noted above, these multispectral targets independently identified the Junker mineral showing with its strong Cu, Au and Ag mineralization, as well as new locations to follow up in the 2025 field program.

These new multispectral targets are being integrated with a recently completed detailed geophysical interpretation of the high-resolution heliborne magnetic survey completed by Precision Geosurveys for West in 2021. The most favourable targets will be followed up in the field for further sampling and evaluation.

Nader Vatanchi, West Mining's chief executive officer, said: "The recent work we have done is a positive step as it gives us new targets in addition to the previous work done in 2021. We look forward to our field program and continued progress on our Junker project."
