Press Release #07-11 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO US NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES The Board of Directors' of Western Prospector Group Ltd. (the "Company") announces the appointment of a litigation committee comprised of independent directors and the retainer of a top-tier litigation team from McCarthy Tétrault LLP. Davis LLP will continue as co-counsel. Agreement between all parties to the action commenced by Maximum Ventures Inc. ("Maximum") has resulted in the establishment of a new trial date of February 25, 2008. The restructured litigation committee consists of three independent directors, Messrs. Eric Bohren, Felix Pardo and Charles Pullin. The committee recommended strengthening the litigation team and further development of the Company's legal strategies in conjunction with management and litigation counsel. In addition, the Company recently retained McCarthy Tétrault LLP, a well recognized Canadian law firm known for its litigation expertise, to represent the Company as one of the defendants in the action commenced by Maximum. Messrs. Leonard T. Doust, Q.C. is a senior litigator from McCarthy Tétrault's Vancouver office and will be lead counsel. Mr. Doust has nearly 40 years of experience in a wide variety of litigation, and is one of the most sought-after and respected litigators in the country. He has appeared frequently before every level of court in British Columbia, as well as in the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Doust is a Life Bencher of the Law Society of British Columbia and a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers. Based upon review of the litigation process and the recommendations of legal counsel for the plaintiff and the defendants, it was agreed between the parties that a new trial date be set for February 25, 2008. The Company strongly believes that Maximum's claims are without merit, and continues to declare that it will take all necessary measures to vigorously defend itself in court next February 2008 and resolve litigation matters as quickly as possible.
