About West Mining Corp.

West Mining is a mineral exploration company, acquiring and developing advanced and early-stage exploration projects. It is fully focused on its 100-per-cent-owned, 9,000-hectare prospective Kena project located near Nelson, B.C. The Kena project comprises three adjoining properties: Kena, Daylight and Athabasca. A recent National Instrument 43-101 resource estimate for Kena gave 561,900 ounces gold indicated and 2,773,100 ounces gold inferred in the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold and Daylight zones. The Kena property also hosts the large Kena copper zone, along with the historic Euphrates and Gold Cup gold-silver mines. The Daylight property contains the historic past-producing Daylight, Starlight, Victoria, Irene and Great Eastern gold mines. Along trend to the north is the Athabasca property, with the historic Athabasca gold mine. The historic mines and known mineralized zones on these three properties are structurally controlled along a 20-kilometre strike as identified by strong geophysical signatures.
