CALGARY, ALBERTA. – Friday, May 30, 2008. As a result of a review by the Alberta Securities Commission, West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) is issuing the following news release to clarify previous disclosures concerning its mineral exploration programs covering its Rossland, British Columbia properties.

The Company has been engaged in the exploration of gold, nickel and magnesium on the Company’s properties near Rossland, in south central British Columbia. As a result of an initial Diamond Drill program in 2007, the Company expanded its exploration focus from gold to include nickel and later magnesium. Subsequently, the Company disclosed three drill holes stating nickel values over long intervals. The nickel values were quoted in grams per tonne (g/t) as well as pounds per ton (lbs/t). These two descriptive terms are not the industry standard terms for reporting nickel, which is generally reported as a percentage (%). In addition, the intervals and the weighted averages cited did not reflect the waste partings that were encountered in the drill holes. The recalculated and corrected intercept lengths and weighted averages are provided in the chart below.

Revised Table for Nickel Mineralization Holes SR06-17, 18, 20 and 21 (previously included in the Press Release of March 21, 2007)

The nickel values reported above include nickel in both sulphide and non-sulphide minerals as total nickel (see discussion below)

Previous news releases also contained the terms “commercial interest” and “economic interest”. The Company wishes to clarify that presently, there is no NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate on the Company’s Rossland properties and thus terms such as “commercial” or “economic” are inappropriate. On May 7, 2007, the Company issued a news release and again

referenced nickel values in pounds per ton (lbs/t). The Company advises that this practice was stopped and all subsequent news releases reported nickel in percentages.

In its September 21, 2007 news release, the Company attempted to clarify its nickel analysis techniques. The method of analysis employed by the Company consisted of a “four acid total digestion”. The result of this total digestion is that all the nickel contained within the sample, in both the sulphide and silicate minerals, is liberated and thus will be reported when investigated by ICP analysis. All nickel results reported by the Company were derived by this method. A portion of the nickel reported is derived from silicate minerals. It should be noted that at present, there is no known economic method to recover nickel from silicate minerals, thus the reported values could be confusing to investors who may interpret the reported values as total recoverable nickel. The Company attempted to address this issue by placing a disclaimer in news releases stating: “The nickel values reported above include nickel in both sulfide and non sulphide minerals as total nickel“. In addition, the Company described the variation in results from total nickel to nickel in sulfides. The following table shows the results of 22 samples from drill hole DDH IV07-1 which were analyzed for total nickel and for nickel in sulfides and formed the basis for the disclosure in the September 21, 2007 news release. The analysis was conducted by Assayers Canada Ltd. and SGS Lakefield Research Limited.

In the same news release, the Company began reporting assayed magnesium values of up to

25.9 %, and has been reporting its assayed magnesium values ever since. Magnesium is used as an alloy with aluminum, to increase both its strength and rigidity and is used extensively in die- casting. Magnesium does not occur naturally as a pure metal but is found in over 60 minerals. Historically magnesium production in Canada has been achieved from three operations, only one of which recovered magnesium from ultramafic rocks. That operation closed in 2003. To date no magnesium production has been derived from ultramafic rocks in the Rossland area. At present, the Company is not certain if it can liberate magnesium from the rocks that it has tested. The Company has submitted drill core samples from three holes to SGS Lakefield Research Limited, a member of the SGS Group in Lakefield, Ontario to conduct metallurgical and hydrometallugical test work to clarify if the magnesium can be liberated from the source rocks. The Company will release the findings of this metallurgical testing once it has been received.
