WEST HIGH YIELD (W.H.Y.) RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES FIRST TRANCHE CLOSING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND RECORD RIDGE PROJECT UPDAT

Further to the news release of May 21, 2026, West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. has closed the first tranche of its previously announced private placement offering of units, and has provided an update on its Record Ridge industrial minerals mine project located near Rossland, B.C., following dismissal of a Record Ridge judicial review.

The closing

The closing consisted of the issuance 1,188,334 units for gross proceeds of $356,500. The units were issued at a price of 30 cents per unit, with each unit consisting of one common share of the company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant. Each full warrant, together with 45 cents, entitles the holder thereof to acquire one additional common share for 12 months from the date of the closing. All securities comprising the units issued on the closing will be subject to a trading hold period expiring four months plus one day from the date of issuance.

The proceeds from the closing will be used by the company to cover expenses and development of the RRIMM project and for general working capital purposes and expenses.

RRIM project update

The company also notes that, as announced earlier today, the Supreme Court of British Columbia dismissed the judicial review challenging the RRIMM project and upheld the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Office's determination that the RRIMM project is not subject to a provincial environmental assessment. As a result, the injunction that had temporarily restricted construction activities pending resolution of the judicial review has been lifted.
