West Mining Receives Mines Act Permit for Drilling @ Kena 
West Mining Receives Mines Act Permit for Drilling at Kena Gold-Copper Property, BC VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 13, 2021-- West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is very pleased to announce that it has now received the BC Mines Act Permit for diamond drilling on its 100% owned Kena gold and copper Property located in southeastern British Columbia. The over 8500 hectare Kena Project, consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties which trend along a 20 kilometre favourable mineralized belt.
The Company has completed 2111.55 metres in fourteen diamond drill holes to date on the Daylight Property, with the core samples submitted to the lab and assays pending.
The drill will now be mobilized to the Kena Copper Zone for continued drilling.
The Kena Copper Zone is identified by a 2500 x 450 metre strong copper soil geochemical anomaly coincident with an induced polarization chargeability high. Nine broad spaced historic drill holes have been put in over the Kena Copper Zone between 1981 and 2010. In 2021, three fences, including deep diamond drill holes are proposed for the central core of the Kena Copper Zone, along with 400 metre step out holes to the north and south.
Historic diamond drilling and rock chip sampling in the Kena Copper Zone returned values including:
| HOLE # | TYPE | WIDTH
(m)* | FROM (m) | TO (m) | COPPER
(%)* | GOLD
(g/t)* |
| KK81-04 | core | 114 | 0 | 114 | 0.24 | 0.15 |
| Including | core | 15 | 0 | 15 | 0.36 | 0.30 |
| NK90-4 | core | 75 | 109.5 | 184.5 | 0.31 | 0.19 |
| Including | core | 18 | 166.5 | 184.5 | 0.41 | 0.26 |
| Old Adit | chip | 82 | 0 | 82 | 0.16 | |
| Historic Trench | chip | 21 | 0 | 21 | 0.53 | |
*True widths of these intervals is not known. These results cannot be verified but there is no reason to doubt the accuracy of these reports. This information is used to assist in guiding the exploration programs. (References: BC Minfile 082FSW332, Giroux and Grunenberg (Sedar, 2012), BC ARIS Reports 9593 and 20894).
The Kena Copper Zone lies 2 kilometres south of the Property’s Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones which were included in a recent resource estimate (see News Release dated May 11, 2021). These gold zones host 2.77 million ounces of gold inferred and 0.56 million ounces of gold indicated at a 0.25 g/t cutoff. The property also hosts the South Gold Zone, located immediately adjacent to the Kena Copper Zone, two kilometres south along the same structure which hosts the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones and is likely a continuation of those mineralized zones. Prior drilling from 2002 at the South Gold Zone returned 0.9 g/t gold over 90 metres core length (true width unknown) (BC ARIS Report #27240).
“With our Kena drilling permit in hand we are excited to commence drilling at the Kena Copper Zone where strong copper-gold targets have been identified. The drill and crew are based close to site allowing swift mobilization enabling the drill to start turning early next week,” states CEO of West Mining Corporation Nicholas Houghton. “Existing data we have on hand gives us the benefit of hitting the ground running with this targeted drilling allowing for expeditious execution.”
