West High Yield partners with Envirogold to extract gold and valuable minerals from the company’s reject rocks

CALGARY, ALBERTA –November 10, 2020 West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSXV:WHY) announces that it has entered into a joint venture with EnviroGold Global for the development, operation, and reclamation of its precious mineral (Au/Ag) rock rejects located on its gold claims in Rossland, BC. The venture is conditional upon the parties receiving approval from the Ministry of Mines in British Columbia and when approved, will help West High Yield in unlocking the tremendous value of the mine reject rocks that were stockpiled on the Company’s claims from historic mining operations on its Rossland property.

The reject rock averaged 2.5 gpt Au based on independently assayed random 99 bulk samples at Metsolve Laboratories, BC. All recoverable saleable minerals and metals will be extracted and marketed including but not limited to recoverable gold and silver. Proceeds from this project will be used by the Company to support advancement of its strategic vision to develop its mineral resource properties in British Columbia.

The extraction and reclamation of the reject stockpile, which is scheduled to commence in December, 2020, will be operated and managed by EnviroGold , with all project costs paid by EnviroGold and then recovered by EnviroGold from the proceeds of sale of the processed reject rock, after which the net proceeds will be split on a 50/50 basis between the project partners.

President and CEO of West High Yield, Frank Marasco Jr. described the transaction as “win-win” for both parties.

“We are excited to partner with EnviroGold to extract the value from our rejects stockpile and use the proceeds to advance our business plan. EnviroGold’s team and experience will assist our Company in unlocking the value in this ready to process asset.” Mr. Marasco said.

EnviroGold CEO James Canning-Ure said he was excited for the opportunity to be working with West High Yield in creating value for the Company from a previously mined resource.

“For mine owners like West High Yield, we not only create an otherwise unavailable passive income stream from waste, but we dramatically reduce a mine’s environmental footprint, mine site maintenance costs, risk and rehabilitation commitment,” Mr Canning-Ure said.

The agreement with EnviroGold supersedes a prior agreement of the Company to mine the reject rocks, which will terminate on November 20, 2020.

West High Yield expands gold program on its Rossland Gold Camp Property

CALGARY, ALBERTA – September 24, 2020. West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. (“West High Yield” or the “Company”) (TSXV:WHY) announces that the BC Ministry of Mines has granted the Company a drilling permit for the drilling of 22 drill holes of up to 600 metres per hole and an aggregate of 20,000 metres on the Company’s Midnight Gold Claim located in the Rossland Gold Camp. The Rossland Gold Camp historically produced over 2.76 million ounces of recovered Gold and 3.52 million ounces of recovered Silver. Historical gold production and geological work and drill holes conducted by the Company’s results reinforce the potential of the Midnight Claim.

The Company is utilizing the analysis from the 26 gold drill hole program conducted by the Company in 2009 on its Midnight Claim. All holes intersected a series of quartz veins and gold bearing serpentinites with significant gold values, notably hole MN09-15, which returned weighted average of 40.1 g/tonne over a true width of 2.3 metres including 198 g/tonne Au for a true width of 0.8 metres near surface (13.9 metres in drill depth) and hole MN09-24, which returned a weighted average of 25.16 g/tonne over a true width of 3.6 metres including 73.23 g/tonne Au for a true width of 1.2 metres. Highlights of the 2009 Drill Program are set out below.

Hole Depth (m) From To Width (m) Grade Au (g/t) Comments
MN 09-4 123 31.3 39.4 8.1 12.2 Listwanized serpentinite 8 g/t Ag including 85.48 g/t Au and 58.2 g/t over 1 m
MN 09-6 121 13.6 26.8 13.2 7.40 Mixed Qtz + listwanized serp. 4.4 g/t Ag including

38.21 g/tonne Au & 53.3 g/tonne Au over 0.6 m &

0.5 m, respectively

MN 09 -15 106 13.9 18 4.1 40.11 Green serp. & soapstone (19.7 g/tonne Ag including 198 g/t Au over 0.8 m
MN 09-24 82 28.9 33.5 4.6 25.16 Mixed Qtz veins & serpentinite including 73.23 g/t Au over 1.5 m

Based on the previously released 2009 drill core results, the Company plans to further define the gold mineralization on its Midnight Claim in order to allow the Company to proceed with a mineral resource estimate pursuant to National Instrument 43-101.

“The Midnight Claim contains high-grade quartz–carbonate veins with native gold and minor silver and sparse sulphides. The Company is encouraged by the theory given by many of its senior geology consultants that the series of gold-enriched quartz veins and gold bearing serpentinites identified by the drill holes to date, have been enriched from a contained deeper source. In accordance with this hypothesis, the Company planned the next drill holes to be drilled to a depth of at least 600 metres per hole”, stated Cory Peck, P.Geo., who advises the Company.

Set out below is a map of the Geology on the Midnight Claim.

The chart below depicts recorded past production from up to 1941 from the combined Midnight, IXL and OK Claims, which are now part of the Company’s land base in Rossland, British Columbia.

OK 293 17916 61 573.3 1.78
TOTAL 10301 1046028 101.5 33472.9 2.96

“The Company is excited and energized by the convergence of global market opportunities for West High Yield. Our ability to further define the potential of the Midnight Gold Claim will be an additional value driver in addition to the next steps in the commercialization of the Company’s proven magnesium asset coupled with the nickel and high grade silicate to be produced through our proprietary and environmentally sensitive extraction process. The Company thanks the shareholders for their patience and continued support of this green mining project”, stated President and CEO, Frank Marasco Jr.
