WEST HIGH YIELD (W.H.Y.) RESOURCES LTD. ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF GOLD DRILLING PROGRAM AT MIDNIGHT GOLD CLAIM
West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. has commenced its 2022 gold drill program which was initiated by the signing of a drilling contract with West Kootenay Diamond Drilling Services Ltd., whereby the contractor will drill holes of up to 20,000 feet and carry out ancillary services in relation thereto over the course of the contract. The 2022 program will take place at the company’s Midnight gold claim located in the Rossland gold camp area, British Columbia. The Rossland gold camp has historically produced over 2.76 million ounces of recovered gold and 3.52 million ounces of recovered silver.
The contractor has vast resource drilling experience and is well-known to the company, having been contracted by the company in the past for drilling services relating to the company’s Midnight gold and Record Ridge magnesium claims. While site preparation is under way and the contractor has begun mobilization on the project site, drilling is expected to start mid-to-late April, 2022 (weather permitting).
The 2022 program will focus on testing several of the higher priority targets on the project site stemming from prior drilling results, data collection and modelling assumptions (see the company’s Dec. 30, 2021, and Sept. 24, 2020, press releases for additional information). The objectives of the 2022 program are to test extensions to zones of higher-grade mineralization, and to test deeper areas considered as having a high potential to extend the footprint of the known mineralization on the project site. Upon completion of the 2022 program and based on the results from the company’s 2009 drill programs, the company anticipates being able to further define the gold mineralization on the project site in order to allow the company to proceed with a mineral resource estimate pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
Frank Marasco Jr., president and chief executive officer of West High Yield, commented as follows: “The company is excited to commence the 2022 drill program at the Midnight gold project. Building on the previously released 2009 drill results, West High Yield is ready to drill and test targets with considerable promise that management believes will help allow the company to expand the mineralized footprint with higher-grade cores, allowing the company to target completion of a NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate.”
The company looks forward to sharing the results of the 2022 program as soon as assay results are available from a qualified third party assay lab.
