  • West High Yield encounters nickel mineralization in Rossland ultramafics

    CALGARY, ALBERTA – Monday, May 7, 2007. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) announces that it has received the analysis for all 21 drill holes completed in its 2006 Diamond Drill Program on its OK, Midnight and IXL properties located near Rossland, British Columbia. ALS Chemex provided the assay for all 21 drill holes. In the course of its gold exploration activities, West High Yield intersected broad zones of Ultramafic rock containing nickel mineralization. The rock unit termed the “OK Ultramafic” was intersected in 13 of the 21 holes drilled with significant results including 122 metres true width grading 0.18 % nickel in holes SR06-1 and SR06-17 and 80 meters true width grading 0.19 % in hole SR06-21.

    Tabulated below is a summary of nickel mineralization encountered in the OK Ultramafic body outlined in the 2006 drill program.

    Concurrent with the 2006 drill program, the Company advises that it collected chip and channel samples from road cuts and outcrops occurring along a one kilometer section of road on its Ivanhoe Ridge property which is contiguous to the Company’s OK property. The samples were initially taken along the Cascade Highway near the foot of Ivanhoe Ridge in July, 2006. The samples were initially tested by ALS Chemex with conventional ICP-AES (41 elements) analysis and further tested by Assayer Canada using “multi-acid (4 acid) digest Atomic Absorption” analytical method in November, 2006. Tabulated below is a summary of the results obtained from Assayer Canada.

    The Company is encouraged by the consistency and broad distribution both laterally and to depth of the nickel values returned thus far from both the OK and Ivanhoe Ridge Ultramafic rocks. The Ivanhoe Ridge Ultramafic body covers a surface area of approximately seven square kilometers and represents a large exploration area. The Company has mobilized field crews to implement an aggressive follow up program consisting of geological, geochemical and geophysical surveys to identify suitable drill targets within the Ivanhoe Ridge Ultramafic body. The Company has secured three drilling rigs and two rigs commenced the Company’s 2007 diamond drilling program this week.

    The Company’s field activities are supervised and the technical data for this report was prepared by H. Kim, P.Geo/P.Eng (Practicing), the Company’s on-site Geologist.

  • West High Yield (W.H.Y.) announces annual financial results

    CALGARY, ALBERTA, – April 10, 2007. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce its audited financial results for the year ended December 31, 2006.

    Highlights

    • On July 27, 2006, the Company became publicly traded when it completed its initial public offering of securities that was fully subscribed for gross proceeds of $2,000,000.
    • Successful 2006 drilling program comprising over 10,000 feet of diamond drilling over 21 holes.
    • Completion of a flow-through financing in December, 2006 that raised $1,100,000.

    West High Yield’s financial condition improved in 2006. At December 31, 2006, the Company had a working capital surplus of $1,657,594 compared to a working capital deficiency of $1,612,811 at December 31, 2005 when it was still a private Company. This improved financial position is as a result of the initial public offering of securities that occurred in July, 2006, the exchange of debt due to a related company for shares at that same date as well as a flow-through share financing completed in December, 2006. During the year funds were expended on an extensive diamond drilling program on the Company’s properties near Rossland, British Columbia.

    During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company had a net loss of $1,986,511 or $0.07 per share compared to a loss of $562,880 or $0.04 per share in 2005. During 2006, the Company expended $864,397 on its mineral exploration project ($224,849 in 2005), $340,810 of head office expense ($124,303 in 2005) and $115,840 of interest expense and bank charges ($215,848 in 2005). In addition the Company recorded non-cash expenses of $682,063 relating to stock based compensation (nil in 2005) and $6,268 for depreciation and amortization expense ($900 in 2005).

    The drilling season for the Company was completed on December 2, 2006. During the year, 21 core holes were completed in Phase 2 of the diamond drill program on its properties located on the western outskirts of Rossland in southeastern British Columbia. During the season, a total of 10,074 feet of core was drilled on the Rossland Gold Camp property near Rossland, British Columbia. Assay results have now been obtained on all core. These results have previously been disclosed in press releases dated October 10 and November 20, 2006, January 19 and March 21, 2007 and are available on the SEDAR website at www.sedar.com. Overall as a result of this years drilling, in nine holes drilled on the Midnight property, the Company has encountered narrow, erratic high grade gold intercepts, while in other remaining cores, a potential mineral zone of low grade gold bearing materials was identified. Of perhaps more significance than the gold concentrations located, nickel mineralization of commercial interest have been located in the black serpentinite in Ivanhoe Ridge with assay results up to 0.245% or 5.4 lbs nickel/ton (weighted average). Further delineation of the potential nickel zone will be accomplished through the Company’s exploration program in 2007.

    The Company’s 2007 Phase three drilling program is scheduled to commence in April on the property with more than 20,000 feet of core hole expected to be drilled during the season utilizing the services of two drilling rigs.

    West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources is a junior mining exploration company focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral resource properties in Canada with a primary objective to locate and develop economic gold properties.

  • West High Yield retracts reserve estimate

    CALGARY, ALBERTA, – Thursday, March 22, 2007. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) advises that it has not yet obtained an independent technical report with respect to its Rossland property and therefore the statement made in its news release of March 21, 2007 with respect to an estimated amount of reserves of 220,000 tons averaging 1.82 g/t Au in its Midnight property was not in compliance with NI 43-101 and the Company therefore wishes to retract this disclosure. The Company also advises that the resource should not be relied upon and the Company has no current mineral resources on the property.

  • West High Yield announces completion of testing on 2006 drilling program, appointment of investment advisors and 2007 drilling program

    CALGARY, ALBERTA, – Wednesday, March 21, 2007. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has completed the drilling and testing of 21 drill holes of its 2006 Phase 2 Diamond Drill Program on its properties located in Rossland, British Columbia. The Company previously reported on the first 15 drill holes completed and accordingly the Company now reports on the assay results of the last six drill holes.

    DRILLING RESULTS UPDATE

    ALS Chemex provided the most recent assay results from the last 6 holes SR06-13 and SR06- 17 through SR06-21 on the Midnight Property. A narrow quartz vein with free gold of 0.7 ft. (0.2 m) in true thickness was intersected in hole SR06-18 which returned 36.3 g/t Au. This quartz vein is postulated to be the downdip extension of one of the high grade narrow veins exploited in the old IXL workings prior to 1984, which yielded 811,746 grams of gold. Five cross sections in the Midnight, IXL and OK claims were drawn for the use of geological interpretation and tonnage calculation in the Midnight workings. Gold resources in the vicinity of Midnight 3100 Level are estimated to be 220,000 tons averaging 1.82 g/t.

    Aside from hole SR06-18, two holes drilled returned insignificant gold values but returned significant nickel values of economic interest which are emplaced in the country rock of black serpentinite. Hole SR06-17 returned nickel values of 1,837 g/t (4 lbs/t) over 400 ft. (122 meters) in true width. Hole SR06-20 returned 1,814 g/t (4 lbs/t) nickel over 145 ft. (44 meters) in true width. Hole SR06-18 described above with a quartz vein of high gold values also intersected nickel bearing serpentinite returning 1,735 g/t (3.8 lbs/t) nickel over 150 ft. (46 meters) in true width. Hole SR06-21 at the portal of Midnight 3100 level returned relatively low gold values of 2.39 g/t Au over 5 ft. (1.5 meters) in true width but returned significant nickel values in the black serpentinite of 1,908 g/t (4.2 lbs/t) nickel over 265 ft.(80 meters) in true thickness. It should be noted that the present nickel values are indicated by the standard ICP analytical method from ALS Chemex. Further improved nickel values may be anticipated from the “improved nickel extraction leaching experiment” currently being conducted by the Company.

    The results of holes SR06-13 and SR06-19 are not impressive and without significant gold values of 0.28 g/t Au over 20 ft. or 0.57 g/t Au over 3 ft. These intersections occur in white quartz veins hosted by volcanic rocks (andesite). Upon review, these zones may not represent the originally targeted veins, based on the newly surveyed plan which became available after drilling was completed in 2006. Accordingly, another deep drill hole is proposed at the same location in the 2007 drilling program to test the downward extent of northerly striking high grade No. 1 vein of the Midnight 3200 level, which was mapped and sampled by previous operators.

    SUMMARY OF NICKEL MINERALIZATION

    As noted in the last progress report, significant nickel mineralization of commercial interest in the black serpentinite in Ivanhoe Ridge is strongly indicated by sampling results, assayed up to

    0.245 % or 5.4 lbs nickel/ ton (weighted average) from the standard chip and channel samples across true width and adequate spacing over one kilometer intermittent exposures along the Cascade Highway, about 7 km south of the Midnight property. Again, it should be noted that the 1969 selected underground samples of the black serpentinite in the Midnight workings returned up to 0.45 % (4,500 g/t or 10 lbs/t) nickel. However, the serpentinites tested in the 2006 program on the Midnight property returned relatively lower nickel values but still indicate significant nickel values of economic interest. Nickel mineralization in four of the recently tested holes is summarized in the following table:

    dykes of andesite, diorite and listwanized serpentinite.

    RESOURCES IN THE MIDNIGHT PROPERTY

    In the 2006 drilling program, a total of 12 holes were drilled in the vicinity of the Midnight 3100 level workings. Narrow, erratic high grade gold intercepts ( for example, 75 g/t Au across 2 ft., 51 g/t Au over a true width of 2 ft. and 40 g/t Au across a true width of 2.2 ft. ) were encountered in 9 holes drilled on the Midnight property. Geological and grade continuity of these high grade gold concentrations cannot be reasonably assumed. However, the drilling results identified a mineral resource of low grade gold bearing materials (potential bulk mineable gold concentrations) of which quantity and grade can be confidently estimated on the basis of sampling results from nine holes, old workings stope data and three cross sections for the present tonnage estimation. An area of influence in resource calculation was assumed of 10 meters in most cases (about 70%). The gold bearing material was assumed beyond 10 meters but within

    30 meters. Overall, present calculations result in an estimated resource of 220,000 tons averaging 1.82 g/t Au in the Midnight property. The Company’s field activities are supervised and the technical data for this report was prepared by H. Kim, P.Geo./P.Eng. (Practicing), a “Qualified Person” as defined by NI 43-101.

    2007 PHASE 3 DRILLING PROGRAM

    The application for the 2007 Rossland field program was filed with the BC Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources. The 2007 field program will take place in two separate areas, the Midnight property and Ivanhoe Ridge which are about seven kilometers apart. The Company

    has retained the use of two drilling rigs and proposes to drill three to five holes on the Midnight property and approximately 20 holes on the Ivanhoe Ridge property, subject to field mapping. Before drilling, the Company plans on completing a comprehensive line grid map and soil sampling on the Ivanhoe Ridge property, where the nickel bearing ultramafic rocks (black serpentinite) occur in an area of about three square kilometers.

    INVESTOR RELATIONS AGREEMENTS

    The Company also reports that it has entered into two service agreements with investment advisors. The Company retained Working Capital Corporation of Calgary, Alberta (“WCC”) for one year pursuant to an agreement (the “Agreement”) for investor relations services. WCC shall be paid a monthly fee of $6,500 for the one year term and receive 250,000 options to purchase common shares at $0.40 per share for one year and with various vesting provisions. The Company has also retained Bay Street Connect of Toronto, Ontario (“Bay Street”) to provide similar investor relations services for a six-month term. Bay Street shall be paid a monthly fee of $5,000 and receive 100,000 options to purchase common shares of the Company at $0.40 per share with various vesting provisions.

  • West High Yield Resources updates drill core results and increased mineralization

    CALGARY, ALBERTA, – November 20, 2006. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) announces that it has completed the drilling of 18 of 23 holes of its 2006 diamond drill program of its Phase 2 diamond drill program on its properties, located on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. Two drill holes are currently underway and will be completed before the end of November, 2006 and three additional drill holes will be commenced and completed before the end of the year, if weather permits. Of the 18 drill holes completed, 11 have been assayed. The Company reported on the first eight of those holes in October, 2006 and is providing an update of the results of the drilling program with respect to the three additional holes completed and the Company’s overall assessment of its Midnight property to date. The cores for seven of the remaining twelve drill holes are currently being assayed by ALS Chemex Laboratories (“Chemex”) of Vancouver, B.C. and the remaining five drill holes will be submitted to Chemex upon completion.

    As the Company previously reported, gold mineralization was encountered in seven of the first eight holes, with significant intersections reported from drill holes DDH SR06-7 and 8. The Company announces the gold results from the three drill holes currently assayed (DDH SR06-9, 10 and 11). These holes were drilled to test the lateral extent of mineralization identified in drill holes DDH SR06-7 and 8. Of the three new holes assayed, significant gold results were encountered in drill hole DDH SR06-11, which returned a weighted average of 2.03 grams per tonne gold over 55.2 meters (includes 10.2 grams per tonne gold over 7.0 meters and 40.9 grams per tonne gold over 1.1 meters). Significant intercepts from the three holes are tabled below:

    Site Hole # Azimuth/Angle (degrees) Gold g/t (oz/ton) Interval m(ft)

    From To

    3 DDH SR06-9 36 / -45 4.36 (0.13) 20 (66) 22.3 (73)
    3 DDH SR06-10 36 / -75 3.92 (0.11) 46.3 (152) 47.5 (156)
    3 DDH SR06-11 345 / -60 2.03 (0.06) 14.6 (48) 69.8 (229)
    10.2 (0.3) 22 (72.5) 29 (96)
    40.9 (1.17) 28.2 (92.5) 29.3 (96)

    The diamond drilling completed on the Company’s Midnight property to date has established the continuity of the quartz-carbonate hosted gold mineralization. The Company also advises that a detailed analysis of the serpentine host rock termed the “O.K. Ultramafic Body” has been undertaken as initial assays have returned an average of 0.15% nickel. The Company has recently set up a laboratory in Trail, British Columbia to experiment and study hydrometallurgical process technology to optimize the recovery of nickel, palladium and platinum from the serpentine.

    The Company’s drilling operations are being conducted on the Rossland Gold Camp property which is situated approximately 2.5 kilometers west of the town of Rossland, B.C. The Company controls approximately 2,750 contiguous hectares of mineral and crown granted claims and is exploring on its primary properties which are the Midnight, OK and IXL crown grants. Historically, under previous ownerships, these properties experienced gold production from narrow quartz veins with high grade gold content. The Company commenced a two phase program with Phase 1 consisting of prospecting and geological mapping of the newly-staked claims, investigation of old showings and geochemical sampling westward and eastward from the existing grid followed up with backhoe trenching. Phase 1 was completed in 2005 and the Company undertook its Phase 2 drilling program in the spring of 2006, with a planned total of approximately 8,000 feet which commenced with step-out drilling from the known mineralized zone present in the Midnight (3100 level) workings. The Company currently has two drilling rigs contracted and operating. Drill holes are drilled from locations approximately 300 feet apart with 2 to 6 holes being fanned from each drill location at varying drill angles ranging from 45 to 90 degrees.

    The Company’s field activities are supervised and the technical data for this report was prepared by H. Kim, P.Geo/P.Eng (Practicing) and reviewed by Warren Robb, P.Geo, the Company’s director of geology and exploration, both “Qualified Persons”, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

  • West High Yield Resources announces initial drilling results and gold intercepts

    CALGARY, ALBERTA, – October 10, 2006. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) announces that it has successfully completed the drilling of 15 drill holes of its Phase 2 recommended diamond drill program on its Midnight, OK and IXL properties located on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. Of the 15 holes drilled, the first 3 were assayed by Loring Laboratories in Calgary with the balance being assayed by ALS Chemex Laboratories (“Chemex”) of Vancouver, B.C. The Company is reporting the assay results from the first 8 holes which are summarized below (note that the lengths reported in the summaries are intercepted core lengths and are not true widths). The core from the remaining 7 drill holes are currently being assayed by Chemex and the results will be released when the assays have been completed.

    Gold mineralization was encountered in 7 of the first 8 holes, with significant intersections reported from drill holes DDH SR06-8 and DDH SRO6-7. Drill hole DDH SR06-8 returned a weighted average of 30.45 grams per tonne gold over 18.5 feet (5.64 meters) including 36.2 grams per tonne gold over 2 feet (0.61 meters), 75.0 grams per tonne gold over 3.5 feet (1.07 meters) and 29.1 grams per tonne gold over 3 feet (0.91meters). Drill hole DDH SR06-7 returned a weighted average of 12.16 grams per tonne gold over 4.5 feet (1.37 meters) includes

    22.4 grams per tonne gold over 2 feet (0.61meters) from 53.5 feet to 58 feet and a second zone from 60 feet to 81.5 feet returned a weighted average of 11.86 grams per tonne gold over 21.5 feet (6.55 meters) including 29.2 grams per tonne gold over 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) and 24.9 grams per tonne gold over 2 feet (0.61 meters). Summaries of the first 8 holes appear below, note the lengths reported in the summaries are intercepted core lengths and are not true widths.

    Additional drill hole results are as follows:

    Drill Site 1

    Drill hole DDH SR06-1 drilled at azimuth 011º, -57º dip, total depth 701 feet (213.66 meters) twinned a previous hole on Midnight 3100 Level Adit to approximately 700 feet drill depth and the geology of the 2 drill holes is well correlated. At approximately 200 feet from surface is mineralized light green serpentine which hosts disseminated sulfides. A 22 foot (6.71 meters) intercept from 127 feet to 149 feet returned a weighted average of 2.68 grams per tonne gold.

    Drill hole DDH SR06-2 drilled at azimuth 036º, -57º dip, total depth 456 feet (138.99 meters) cored light green serpentine hosting quartz veins with zones of sulfide mineralization. The quartz veins were intersected at 146 and 187 feet, respectively. The first intersection is narrow (0.1) but contains sulfides including chalcopyrite and assayed 11.5 grams per tonne gold. The quartz vein at 187 feet is 1.5 feet thick and contains weakly disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite and assayed at 6.93 grams per tonne gold.

    Drill hole DDH SR06-3 drilled at azimuth 345º, -57º dip, total depth 450 feet (137.16meters) encountered a mineralized 2 foot quartz vein at a depth of 58.5 feet with an assay value of 23.9 grams per tonne gold. A 1 foot quartz vein was encountered at 325 feet which returned an assay value of 11.95 grams per tonne gold. This core contained sections of light green serpentine with siliceous and talcose patches which show up to 10% sulfides, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite specks. A section of serpentine from 152 feet to 155 feet assayed 68.86 grams per tonne gold.

    Drill Site 2

    Drill hole DDH SR06-4 drilled at azimuth 011º, -57º dip, total depth 416 feet (126.80 meters) intersected black serpentine with moderately disseminated pyrite. No significant gold values were returned.

    Drill hole DDH SR06-5 drilled at azimuth 036º, -57º dip, total depth 406 feet (123.75 meters) tested black serpentine from the collar to the depth of about 100 feet and continued in greenish to black serpentine to the end of the hole. A 130 foot drill section from 216 feet to 346 feet returned a weighted average of 2.3 grams per tonne gold. Included in this intersection is a 50 foot drill intersection from 296 feet to 346 feet which returned a weighted average of 3.17 grams per tonne gold including a 5 foot section of 18.5 grams per tonne gold.

    Drill Site 3

    Drill hole DDH SR06-6 drilled at azimuth 011º, -45º dip, total depth 256 feet (78.03 meters) encountered layered light green to dark green to black serpentine. The light green serpentine hosted disseminated sulfides of up to 5%. Sections of dark serpentine contained calcareous, talcose and siliceous stockwork and veinlets. This altered serpentine intercepted at 234 feet was cored for 6 feet and consists of mixed quartz veins and siliceous patches with pyrrhotite and pyrite specks of up to 10%. An additional gold mineralized intersection was encountered at a depth of 60 feet in which a 3 foot section of sheared serpentine returned the assay value of 51 grams per tonne gold.

    Drill hole DDH SR06-7 drilled at azimuth 011º, -60º dip, total depth 106 feet (32.31) to a total depth of 106 feet. This hole encountered old mine workings and was stopped at a shallow depth but successfully intersected disseminated sulfide mineralization in the hanging wall and foot wall of the Baker vein. The hole returned intercepts with a weighted average of 12.16 grams per tonne gold over 4.5 feet (1.37 meters) includes 22.4 grams per tonne gold over 2 feet (0.61meters) from 53.5 feet to 58 feet. A second intercept from 60 feet to 81.5 feet returned a weighted average of 11.86 grams per tonne gold over 21.5 feet (6.55 meters) including 29.2 grams per tonne gold over 2.5 feet (0.76 meters) and 24.9 grams per tonne gold over 2 feet (0.61 meters).

    The Company’s operations are being conducted on the Rossland Gold Camp property which is situated approximately 2.5 kilometers west of the town of Rossland, B.C. The Company controls approximately 2,750 contiguous hectares of mineral and crown granted claims and is exploring on its primary properties which are the Midnight, OK and IXL crown grants. Historically, under previous ownerships, these properties experienced gold production from narrow quartz veins with high grade gold content. The Company commenced a two phase program with Phase1 consisting of prospecting and geological mapping of the newly-staked claims, investigation of old showings and geochemical sampling westward and eastward from the existing grid followed up with backhoe trenching. Phase 1 was completed in 2005 and the Company undertook its Phase 2 drilling program with a planned total of approximately 8,000 feet which commenced with step-out drilling from the known mineralized zone present in the Midnight (3100 level) workings. Drill holes are drilled from locations approximately 300 feet apart with 2 to 6 holes being fanned from each drill location at varying drill angles ranging from 45 to 90 degrees.

    The Company’s field activities are supervised and the technical data for this report was prepared by H. Kim, P.Geo/P.Eng (Practicing) and reviewed by Warren Robb, P.Geo, the Company’s director of geology and exploration, both “Qualified Persons”, as defined by National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”).

    Frank Marasco, President and CEO said, “We are pleased with the early drilling results and the amount of gold encountered in the cores. We look forward to reporting on the balance of the first year’s drilling results on our Midnight, OK and IXL properties.”

    The Company also announces that its Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, October 31, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. in the Lougheed Boardroom at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, located at Suite 4500, 855 2nd Street SW, Calgary, Alberta.
