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 drilling and testing of 15 NQ drill holes totaling 1,698 metres (5,570 feet) in its 2010 gold drilling program on the Company’s Midnight Crown granted claim on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. The Company previously reported the assay results for 13 holes (MN10-1 through 13) with two previous press releases (August 12, 2010 and September 29, 2010) and now reports the results of the last two holes (MN10-14 and MN10-15), which are summarized in the table below.

Shown In the gold intersection table below, Hole MN10-14 resulted in a gold intersection of appreciable gold values (3.76 grams/tonne Au) over a true width of 1.8 metres near the surface. Hole MN10-15 was not successful in recovering the core from 8.6 m to 10.4 metres in drill depth due to encountering an old tunnel. The southern margin and northeast part of the Midnight gold resource estimation remains to be further tested. For the readers’ reference, this press release is accompanied by a map of the 2010 Diamond Drilling Plan on the Midnight property.

The Company also advises that it will continue to explore on its Record Ridge property in 2011. The current plans are to expand the grid over its magnesium discovery to further outline the size of the deposit. The Company previously reported that it obtained a NI 43-101 report on this property with indicated and measured results aggregating 9,160,000 metric tonnes of Magnesium based upon the core drilling results obtained to the date of the report. The Company also plans to proceed with scoping and pre-feasibility studies on the Record Ridge Magnesium property which will be prepared by SRK Consulting Engineers of Denver, Colorado.

The Company announces the release of its financial results and the Management Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The unaudited financial statements and related MD&A for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been filed with Canadian securities regulatory authorities on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:WHY) announces that it has completed the drilling and testing of 15 drill holes totaling 1,698 metres (5,570 feet) in its 2010 gold drilling program on the Company’s Midnight Crown granted claim in the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. To the present, the Company has received the analysis for 13 of the 15 holes drilled in the 2010 program. The analysis of the remaining two holes will be received in the next few weeks. The Company previously reported the assay results for 6 holes (MN10-1 through MN10-6) and now reports the results of an additional 7 holes (MN10-7 through MN10-13), which are summarized in the table below.

In the table below, it is noted that two holes (MN10-9 and MN10-13) show no significant gold intersections and in the opinion of management outlines the western margin of the Midnight gold resource play. Hole MN10-10 failed to reach the desired drill depth due to encountering an old tunnel. As demonstrated in the table below, the other four holes demonstrated multiple zones of gold intersections with significant gold values, with hole MN10-11 returning 73.23 g/tonne Au for a true width of 2 metres. Also hole MN10-12 returned three (3) gold intersections including one with 2.4 metres true width and values of 3.11 g/tonne Au. The southern margin of the Midnight gold resource play remains to be further tested. The Company plans to retain SRK Consulting Engineers and Scientists (“SRK”) of Denver, Colorado, an independent engineering firm, to undertake an independent NI 43-101 measured mineral resource estimation of the Company’s Midnight property. For the readers’ reference, this press release is accompanied by a map of the Company’s 2010 Diamond Drilling Plan on the Midnight property.

West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSX VENTURE:WHY) is pleased to announce the results of the initial six drill holes completed in its 2010 gold exploration diamond drill program on its Midnight Crown granted claim in the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. To date in 2010, the Company completed nine drill holes, of which six holes have been assayed and summarized in the table below. The 2010 drill program is focused on the Company’s Midnight Crown granted claim where the Company drilled 26 holes in 2009 on a 10 metre spaced line grid, in order to proceed with a mineral resource estimate pursuant to National Instrument 43-101. The analytical work for this drill program is conducted by SGS Canada Inc. of Vancouver, BC. As a QA/QC grade control, all high grade samples (over 20 g/tonne Au) were also checked for confirmation by ALS Chemex Laboratory, Vancouver, B.C. In the current drill program, the Company encountered various quantities of high grade gold, ranging from 9.1 g/tonne Au over 1.14 m (true width) in hole MN10-5 and 32.1 g/tonne Au over 3.9 m (true width) including 76.77 g/tonne over 1.3 m (true width) in hole MN10-3. For details of the drilling results please refer to the table below.

2010 Gold Drill Intersection Summary –Midnight Claim

Based on the 2009 and 2010 drill core results achieved to date, the Company is encouraged to identify multiple continuous zones of gold mineralization on its Midnight property. The Company plans to undertake an independent NI 43-101 measured mineral resource estimate of the Midnight property after an aggregate of 75 diamond drill holes are completed on a 20 to 30 metre spaced grid on the property. The Company plans to complete approximately 6 more drill holes on the Midnight property in the 2010 gold drilling program and then continue its drill program for magnesium on its Record Ridge South property on which an initial NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate was previously completed.

The Company also advises that it has secured a loan in the amount of $1,060,000 from Big Mountain Development Corp. Ltd., a significant shareholder of the Company.

CALGARY, ALBERTA–(Marketwire – Dec. 11, 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) is pleased to announce that it has completed the drilling and testing of 26 NQ drill holes totaling 2,997 m (9,830 feet) in its 2009 gold drilling program on the Company’s Midnight Crown granted claim on the western outskirts of Rossland, British Columbia. The Company has now received the analysis for all 26 holes of the 2009 gold drill program. All drill holes in the 2009 gold drilling program were vertical holes. The Company previously reported the assay results for 15 holes (MN09-1 through 15) and now reports the results of the last 11 holes (MN09-16 through MN09-26), which are summarized in the table below.

In the gold intersection table below, it is noted that except for two holes (MN09-19 and MN09-26), all holes intersected a series of quartz veins and gold bearing serpentinites with significant gold values being noted in hole MN09-24, which returned a weighted average of 25.16 g/tonne over a true width of 3.6 m (11.8 feet) including 73.23 g/tonne Au for a true width of 1.2 m (3.9 feet). The Company also requested Assayers Canada to conduct a screen metallic analysis of certain drill cores. Based on the 2009 drill core results achieved to date, the Company continues to define the gold mineralization on a 10 m spaced drill hole grid on its Midnight property in order to allow the Company to proceed with a mineral resource estimate pursuant to National Instrument 43-101. The Company has retained SRK Consulting Engineers and Scientists (“SRK”) of Denver, Colorado, an independent engineering firm, to undertake an independent NI 43-101 measured mineral resource estimation of the Company’s Midnight property. For the readers’ reference, this press release is accompanied by a map of the 2009 Diamond Drilling Plan on the Midnight property.
