2006 News Release

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.
