VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Could 19, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — West Mining Corp. (“West” or the “Firm”) (CSE: WEST) (OTC: WESMF) is happy to announce that the 2021 exploration program is now underway on its 100% owned Kena gold and copper mission in southeastern British Columbia. The over 8000 hectare Kena Challenge consists of the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties, which development alongside a 20 kilometre lengthy beneficial mineralized belt.
The totally funded $2 million 2021 exploration program will deal with 3 key objects:
- diamond drilling designed so as to add ounces to the present gold useful resource estimate;
- deep diamond drilling into the Kena Copper Zone porphyry system;
- geological mapping, sampling and prospecting a number of historic underexplored workings.
KENA PROJECT
The Kena Challenge declare block is split up into 3 property areas: the Kena, Daylight and Athabasca Properties.
The Kena Property
The Kena Property hosts a number of gold mineralized zones, most notably the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones included within the current useful resource estimate internet hosting 2.77 million ounces of gold inferred and 0.56 million ounces of gold indicated (see Information Launch dated Could 11, 2021). 3D modelling and imagery is presently being utilized to establish exact drill targets for growth of the open ended gold useful resource on the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones. The South Gold Zone, situated 2 kilometres south alongside the identical construction internet hosting the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zones, is probably going a continuation of these mineralized zones. Prior drilling from 2002 on the South Gold Zone returned 0.9 g/t gold over 90 metres core size (true width unknown) (BC ARIS Report #27240).
The Kena Copper Zone is a big copper halo across the South Gold Zone outlined by a 2500 x 450 metres copper soil geochemical anomaly coincident with an induced polarization chargeability excessive. 9 broad spaced historic drill holes have been put over the Kena Copper Zone between 1981 and 2010. In 2021, three fences, together with deep diamond drill holes might be put in throughout the central core of the Kena Copper Zone.
South of the South Gold Zone/Kena Copper Zone, current airborne magnetic survey protection exhibits that the magnetic characteristic related to the mineralizing construction internet hosting the Kena Gold and Gold Mountain Zone extends an extra 9 kilometres. Alongside this southern extent are a number of goal areas to be adopted up with geological mapping, sampling and prospecting throughout the present exploration program. Two historic small scale previous producing mines happen alongside this development:
- the Euphrates Mine (BC Minfile# 082FSW186 produced 307 tonnes grading 46.9 g/t gold, 249.3 g/t silver, 2.7% lead and 1.7% zinc);
- the Gold Cup Mine (BC Minfile# 082FSW079 produced 24 tonnes grading 51.8 g/t gold).
Daylight Property
The Daylight Property, included as a part of the current useful resource estimate, has 2 key gold goal areas for 2021 diamond drilling: the Starlight Pattern and the Nice Western Zone. On the three kilometre lengthy Starlight Pattern, in 2021, a sequence of quick fan drill holes will check step out mineralization from the Starlight shear/vein system the place prior sampling returned 23 g/t gold over 1.0 metre chip pattern and 30.4 g/t gold over 0.3 metres in drill core (BC ARIS Report #27240).
On the Nice Western Zone, diamond drilling in 2021 (BC ARIS Report #37536) returned a number of intercepts, together with 1.09 g/t Au over 71.22 metres (true width not identified). Two fences of diamond drill holes in 2021 are deliberate to cross the Nice Western Zone goal space, recognized by a robust gold geochemical signature.
The Daylight Property additionally comprises a number of historic previous producing small scale mines, together with:
- Starlight (BC Minfile# 082FSW174 produced 10.8 tonnes at 54.0 g/t gold, 271.9 g/t silver and 1.9% copper);
- Daylight (BC Minfile# 082FSW175 produced 327 tonnes at 27 g/t gold, 15 g/t silver, plus minor lead and zinc);
- Victoria (BC Minfile# 082FSW173 produced 3255 tonnes at 1.16 g/t gold, 28.9 g/t silver and a couple of.6% copper);
- Nice Japanese (BC Minfile# 082FSW172 produced 34 tonnes at 37.5 g/t gold and 52.2 g/t silver);
- and Irene (BC Minfile# 082FSW171 produced 15 tonnes at 18.2 g/t gold and 25.1 g/t silver).
It’s assumed that hand sorting of ore occurred previous to delivery and that these traditionally reported values could not characterize true grades.
Athabasca Property
The newly acquired Athabasca Property (see Information Launch dated March 24, 2021) might be topic to geological mapping, sampling and prospecting throughout the course of the 2021 discipline season. Historic work, together with restricted drilling and previous manufacturing has occurred on the Athabasca Gold Mine (BC Minfile# 082FSW168 produced 20,219 tonnes grading 30 g/t gold and 10 g/t silver).
“We’re excited to get boots on the bottom on the vital Kena Gold-Copper Challenge,” states CEO of West Mining Corp., Nicholas Houghton. “This exploration season’s diamond drilling applications will look to considerably improve gold ounces in our lately reported useful resource estimation and get our skilled Geological and Drilling groups engaged on the underexplored copper porphyry system executing a sequence of deep holes. In conjunction to this our discipline crew might be evaluating the historic workings and lately recognized new anomalies in each the southern and northern extensions to our property.”

Corp.
West Mining Corp. is a mineral exploration firm buying and creating superior and potential early-stage exploration initiatives. It’s totally targeted on its 100% owned 8,000 hectare Kena Challenge situated close to Nelson, British Columbia. There was over 39,000 metres of drilling accomplished so far on the mission. The Kena Challenge contains three adjoining Properties: Kena, Daylight and Athabasca. A current NI43-101 useful resource estimate for Kena gave 561,000 oz Au indicated and a couple of,773,100 oz Au inferred within the Gold Mountain, Kena Gold and Daylight Zones. The Kena Property hosts the Kena Gold, Gold Mountain and Copper King showings along with the historic Euphrates and Gold Cup gold mines. The Daylight property comprises the historic previous producing Daylight, Starlight, Victoria and Nice Japanese gold mines. Alongside development to the north is the Athabasca Property, with the historic Athabasca Gold Mine. The historic mines and identified mineralized zones on these three properties are structurally managed alongside a 20 kilometres strike as recognized by sturdy geophysical signatures.
