West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:WHY) announces additional results from its on-going 2009 gold exploration drill program in its Midnight Crown granted claim on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. The Company previously reported the assay results from eight holes (MN09-1 through 8) through press releases dated August 5, 2009 and September 16, 2009. The Company has since completed the drilling of 10 additional vertical holes (MN09-9 through 18), of which seven have been assayed and summarized in the table below (MN09-9 through 15). Assays are conducted by Assayers Canada Laboratory and the results of the remaining three vertical wells will be released when the assays have been completed. A QA/QC grade control program for high grade samples (over 28 g/tonne Au) is being continued for confirmation by ALS Chemex and Acme Laboratories, both of Vancouver, B.C. MN09-15 intersected multiple zones of high grade gold bearing serpentinite and quartz veins returning weighted average of 40.1 g/tonne (1.41 ounces) over a true width of 2.3 m (7.5 feet) including 198 g/tonne (6.98 ounces) Au for a true width of 0.6 m (2 feet) near surface (13.9 m in drill depth). All other holes intersected multiple zones of high grade gold bearing serpentinite, including 47.8 g/tonne (1.7 ounces) Au over a true width of 1.9 m (6.2 feet) at hole MN09-11. Based on the 2009 drill core results achieved to date, the Company continues to successfully define the gold mineralization on a 10 m spaced drill hole grid on it’s Midnight property in order to allow the Company to proceed with a mineral resource estimate pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – Aug. 6, 2009) –

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO US PERSONS.

West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:WHY) announces that it has completed the first seven drill holes of its projected 20 exploration diamond drill program on its Midnight Crown granted claim on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. Of the initial drill holes completed, four drill cores have now been assayed by Assayers Canada, of Vancouver, B.C. and the Company is reporting the assay results from these holes, which are summarized in the table below. As a QA/QC grade control, all high grade samples (over 28 g/tonne Au) will be checked for confirmation by ALS Chemex Laboratory, of Vancouver, B.C. In the previous drill program and the current program on the Company’s properties, the Company encountered various quantities of gold, including a weighted average of 30.45 g/tonne Au over 5.7 m (18.5 feet) to 75 g/tonne Au over 1.06 m (3.5 feet) at hole SR06-8 (which was drilled in the earlier drill program and reported in a Company press release dated October 10, 2006) and in the recently completed drill hole MN09-4, a gold intersection with a weighted average of 34.37 g/tonne Au over 2.7 m (8.9 feet). Based on the 2009 drill core results achieved to date, the Company is encouraged with the results obtained from the program which continues to identify multiple zones of gold and silver mineralization on the Company’s properties. In the 2009 program, the Company plans to complete a drill hole grid on its Midnight property in order to allow the Company to proceed with a resource study pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.

Report on Magnesium

As previously reported, the Company completed and filed a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report that established a substantial resource of Magnesium on the Company’s Record Ridge South property. In earlier reports, the Company also advised that it wished to proceed with a conceptual mining plan for a large, open pit quarry area to mine the Magnesium in its Record Ridge South property. Subject to the Company securing additional financing, SRK Consulting (US) Inc. (“SRK”) of Denver, Colorado recommended in its report that the Company proceed with a three phase drilling program targeting resource expansion and geotechnical data collection, conduct further metallurgical test work and complete a scoping level economic evaluation. The first phase of the drilling program will focus on the unconfined portions of the higher-grade resource located in the north-western portion of the Company’s property and will also test the undrilled material located between the two zones of known mineralization. When completed, this study should provide more geotechnical data for an open pit mine design.

The second phase of drilling will include several triple wall core holes located in the conceptual pit walls to obtain enough data to support a preliminary pit slope design.

The third phase of drilling will focus on the unconfined mineralization in the Company’s Ivanhoe South property. The drilling programs may run sequentially or concurrently depending on financing and time lines. Based on the results of the variography and geologic modeling, the drill hole spacing can be expanded to 100 m separation and still support an indicated resource. Metallurgical test work will focus on optimization of the processes delineated in the preliminary studies, including bond work index determinations, closed cycle test work and reagent consumption predictions, all resulting in a conceptual mill flow sheet. The scoping level economic evaluation will be initiated at the conclusion of the drilling and metallurgical test work. The scoping study will include an updated resource estimate incorporating the results of the new drilling, conceptual mining plan, site layout, metallurgical studies and mill plan. This data will form the basis of a preliminary economic model of the project.

 

The Company plans on commencing the first phase of the Magnesium drilling program in the spring of 2010 with 20 drill holes planned with an estimated cost of

$1,500,000 which includes project management and general overhead costs. The second phase geotechnical drilling program (six pit well drill holes) will be commenced immediately upon the completion of the first phase with an estimated cost of $500,000. The third phase drilling program is more extensive and will involve step out drilling of 15 holes with an estimated cost of $1,165,000 to be followed by a metallurgical study with an estimated cost of $150,000. All three phases will be completed within 18 months of the commencement date.

Private Placement

The Company also announces that, subject to regulatory and TSX Venture Exchange approval, it is proceeding with a private placement on a best-efforts basis (the “Private Placement”) of a minimum of $500,000 up to a maximum of $1,000,000 of Units at a price of $1.45 per Unit. Each Unit will be comprised of two (2) Flow- Through Common Shares (the “Flow-Through Shares”) priced at $0.50 per share and one (1) Common Share (the “Common Shares”) priced at $0.45 per share. The Units are being sold to enable the Company to continue to explore for gold on its Midnight property. The closing of the Private Placement is expected to take place on or before September 11, 2009. All securities issued pursuant to the Private Placement will be subject to a four month hold pursuant to applicable securities legislation.

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO US PERSONS.

West High Yield (W.H.Y) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:WHY) announces that it has filed a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report that establishes a substantial resource of Magnesium at the Company’s Record Ridge South property located in Rossland, British Columbia (the “Project”). Copies of the Technical Report are available on the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval at www.sedar.com. The Technical Report was prepared by Dr. Bart Stryhas, PhD, CPG, a principal resource geologist with SRK Consulting (US), Inc. of Denver, Colorado (“SRK”). The property is an intermediate-advanced stage Magnesium exploration project, currently tested by 51 diamond drill holes. It is located approximately 7.5 km west-southwest of the town of Rossland. The Project mineralization is centered about 49 degrees 02′ 33″ N latitude and 117 degrees 53′ 22″ W longitude (UTM coordinates 5,432,500 N and 434,500 E).

Ownership

The West High Yield claim block consists of 19 contiguous mineral claims covering 6,134 hectares plus 8 crown granted and one private ownership claim (9 titles) totalling 212 hectares. The Magnesium mineralization of the Project is located within two mineral claims. The northern part is located within claim # 514607 (Frank SR 3) which covers 317.6 hectares. This claim was originally located by the Company on June 16, 2007 and is in good standing until February 28, 2019. The southern portion of the mineralization is located on claim #513794 (Hidden Valley 3) which covers 127 hectares. This claim was originally located by the Company on June 2, 2005 and is in good standing until February 28, 2019.

Geology and Mineralization

The Record Ridge South area is located within the Quesnel Terrain of the Intermontaine Tectonic Belt. It is comprised of a highly deformed Jurassic (180ma) age volcanic island arc back arc basin complex intruded by Tertiary volcanic and plutonic rocks. The exploration area is underlain primarily by the Record Ridge Ultramafic Body. This unit is bound on the north by the volcanics of the Tertiary Marron Formation, on the east and southeast by the volcanic rocks of the Jurassic Elise Formation and on the west and southwest by the Tertiary age Coryell intrusive suite. Regional metamorphism has reached greenschist facies in the Record Ridge South area.

The Record Ridge ultramafic body constitutes the mineralization hosting the Magnesium resource of the Technical Report. The body underlies an area of approximately 6.2km2, extending from the southern tip of Record Ridge, south to the foot of Mount Sophia and east to Ivanhoe Ridge. The rock type consists of variably serpentinized and locally carbonatized ultramafic cumulates. Lithic types include; dunite, pyroxene-bearing dunite, olivine-bearing wehrlite and wehrlite, each type varying simply as a function of the relative proportion of olivine to pyroxene. On fresh surfaces, the unit is very fine grained with a black color. It also contains abundant veinlets of light green to bluish serpentinite. The unit weathers to a brown color and stands out as open outcrops with a distinctive lack of vegetation in the nearby soils.

Exploration

During the 2007 and 2008 field seasons, the Company conducted surface mapping, surface sampling and diamond drilling on the Project. The surface mapping was conducted at a 1:2,500 Scale focused on the ultramafic rocks. Samples were collected from outcrop and analyzed by ICPAES for 24 elements. A total of 30 sample were collected and analyzed. The results of this work delineated a portion of the ultramafic body with high Magnesium.

The anomalous zone was then drill tested by 51 diamond core drill holes during 2007 and 2008. These were carefully logged and sampled and then tested with 24 element ICP-AES analysis. The exploration work conducted by the Company meets current industry standards. All drill core logging and sampling has been done by trained and professional personnel. The Company has made a concerted effort to ensure good sample quality and has maintained a careful chain of core custody from the drill rig to the assay laboratory.

Resource Estimation

The Project resource estimation is based on information from 51 drill holes totaling 6,340 metres. The drill hole database was compiled and verified by SRK and is determined to be of high quality. A geologic model was constructed based on three general rock groups. Three-dimensional solids were constructed to limit the outer boundary of mineralization and to delineate two internal waste rocks. These solids were used to assigned rock types to the block model. Each model block was then assigned a unique specific gravity based rock type. The model blocks are 15 metres x 15 metres x 5 metres in the x,y,z directions, respectively. All block grade estimates were made using 2.5 metres down hole composites. An Ordinary Kriging algorithm was employed using a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 composites within a search ellipsoid 150 metres x 150 metres x 25 metres in the x,y,z directions respectively.

The results of the resource estimation provided a CIM classified Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource as reported in the table below. SRK advised that the quality of the Project drilling and data is very good and the Mineral Resource was classified mainly according to the general drill hole spacing.

Conceptual Mining Plan

The Record Ridge South resource area will essentially be a large open pit quarry area that would supply material with significantly elevated Magnesium levels to an energy-intensive (electricity and natural gas) processing plant to comminute the mineralized rock, leach, dry, separate through electrolysis methods and package the Magnesium metal for shipment to domestic and foreign markets. Investigation to date shows that the Record Ridge South Resource could support an open pit mine and Magnesium processing facility, which are contingent on the long-term price of Magnesium metal, energy prices and reagent prices and capital costs.

Conclusions and Recommendations

Subject to the Company securing additional financing, SRK has recommended and the Company plans to conduct a three phase drilling program targeting resource expansion and geotechnical data collection, conduct further metallurgical test work and complete a scoping level economic evaluation. The first phase of the drilling program will focus on the unconfined portions of the higher-grade resource located in the northwestern portion of the current drilling and will also test the undrilled material located between the two zones of known mineralization. SRK has also recommended that the Company should provide more geotechnical data for an open pit mine design. The second phase of drilling will include several triple wall core holes located in the conceptual pit walls to obtain enough data to support a preliminary pit slope design. The third phase of drilling will focus on the unconfined mineralization in the Ivanhoe South area. The drilling programs may run sequentially or concurrently depending on financing and time line. Based on the results of the variography and geologic modeling, the drill hole spacing can be expanded to 100 metre separation and still support an indicated resource. Metallurgical test work will focus on optimization of the processes delineated in the preliminary studies, including bond work index determinations, closed cycle test work and reagent consumption predictions, all resulting in a conceptual mill flow sheet.

The scoping level economic evaluation will be initiated at the conclusion of the drilling and the metallurgical test work. The scoping study will include an updated resource estimate incorporating the results of the new drilling, conceptual mining plans, site layout, metallurgical studies and mill plans. This data will form the basis of a preliminary economic model.

The price of Magnesium has increased considerably since 2006. During 2007, free market prices in Canada and Europe increased sharply from $0.95 US per pound to $1.80 US per pound. The current price in early January, 2009 is approximately $2.30 US per pound. Corresponding prices in the USA are significantly higher due to varying tariff protection against certain Chinese and Russian producers. Management of the Company believes that demand for Magnesium will remain strong, particularly from the auto industry where high gasoline prices are leading to the design of lighter more fuel efficient vehicles.

CALGARY, ALBERTA – February 5, 2009. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a progress report on exploration activities conducted on its mineral properties located in Rossland, British Columbia in 2008. The Company is releasing its latest 2008 drill results, primarily for Magnesium on its Record Ridge South property and the drilling results of additional cores drilled on the Company’s gold exploration properties, which include the IXL, Midnight, OK and Golden Drip properties. Since its last report, which was issued on November 12, 2008, the Company has undertaken the following activities.

Completion of 2008 Gold Exploration Program

 In 2008, the Company continued to drill and explore for gold and related minerals on its IXL, Midnight, OK and Golden Drip properties near Rossland, British Columbia. The Company drilled and completed 9 NQ diamond drill holes totalling 680.1 metres (2,231 feet) on the IXL and Midnight claims and 1 NQ diamond drill hole near the Italian portal on the Midnight claim (MN08-2), which stopped at a depth of

181.2 metres, due to unsafe winter weather conditions. The Company plans to complete additional drill cores on these properties in 2009. The 2008 gold exploration program was targeted to test the downward extent of the narrow gold rich veins of both the upper and lower IXL and Midnight workings, from which approximately 10,000 tonnes of ore were produced recovering 1,030,092 grams of gold and 394,914 grams of silver between 1899 and 1984 (Minfile). Of the holes drilled and completed in 2008, 6 (IXL08-2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8) encountered old mine workings (empty tunnels without drill water circulation) and were stopped at shallow depths before reaching the desired drill depths. Gold mineralization was encountered in two of the three holes drilled in the IXL and Midnight claims in 2008 and are summarized in the following chart.
