WEST MINING IDENTIFIES SEVERAL GEOCHEMICAL ANOMALIES AT ITS SPANISH MOUNTAIN WEST PROJECT, BC

Vancouver, B.C. , Dec. 01, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Company”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is pleased to announce that it has received the analytical results and a summary report from Coast Mountain Geological Ltd. (CMG) for exploration work completed at the Company’s 100% owned Spanish Mountain West gold project in southern-central British Columbia. The program was successful in identifying multi-element and multi-station soil anomalies of key pathfinder elements associated with gold mineralization at the nearby Spanish Mountain deposit.

The 1062 hectare Spanish Mountain West Property lies within the Quesnel Terrain and is predominately underlain by the Nicola Group volcanic and sedimentary rock package. Mineralization in the Spanish Mountain deposit is characterized as finely disseminated gold associated with pyrite in argillites and as polymetallic-gold veins hosted in Nicola volcanic sequences.
        
The CMG program identified shallow, low grade, pathfinder elements such as arsenic, mercury and bismuth. However, more importantly, base metals including lead, zinc, and copper +/- arsenic and silver were identified in soils across the property, all known indicators of gold in the area.

“The Company is very pleased with the field program and results from the work conducted by CMG on the project. Moving forward we will expand on these favourable results with follow-up geophysics and trenching,” stated Nicholas Houghton, President and CEO of West Mining.

A total of 980 soil samples were collected from three separate grid areas: the Oscar North, Spanish Lake and Spanish Southwest.

The Oscar North Grid shows elevated base metals Cu-Pb-Zn and the shallow indicator element As. Most notable on this grid is a single station multi-element soil location in the center of the claim, exhibiting elevated As-Bi-Pb-Zn and is directly north of the Oscar gold showing. Also notable is the presence of elevated Pb-Zn results throughout the entirety of the grid. At the Oscar gold discovery immediately to the south, Skygold Ventures (BC ARIS #30144) outlined a 150 metre long soil anomaly with corresponding pyritic black argillite/phyllite rock samples assaying up to 2.11 ppm Au.
