West Mining Corp. (CSE:WEST, Not Rated, Taylor Combaluzier) announced results from its 2021 surface sampling program at its 100%-owned Kena Au-Cu project in SW B.C. The 2021 field sampling and mapping program in the Kena Cu zone revealed a promising new area of Cu mineralization at its northern extent. Notable results include 18m of chip sampling done across a steep outcrop that averaged 0.31% Cu over the full length, with the best 1m chip sample returning 1.56% Cu and a grab sample just off the SE end of this chip line returning 0.95% Cu and 0.39 g/t Au. Additionally, 40m to the SW of this zone, another chip line averaged 0.25% Cu and 0.17 g/t Au over 11m and a grab sample in the same area returned 0.69% Cu. West noted that little outcrop exists between the two lines, which suggests this could be a wide zone of +69m. The company drilled seven holes in the Kena Cu zone in 2021 – all results are pending. Importantly, these new results are located in a geochemically anomalous area over 1.3km north of West’s 2021 drilling campaign and represent a new high-priority target area. We believe successful drill results and the identification of significant Cu mineralization at the Kena Cu zone could potentially add significant upside to the existing +3.3M oz Au resource that has been delineated at the project.
