West Mining Corp. announce the analytical results from their initial seven diamond drill holes on the Kena Copper Zone area of its 100% owned Kena Gold and Copper Project in southeastern British Columbia. All 7 holes intercepted strong zones of alteration and silicification along with variable pyrite-chalcopyrite mineralization throughout.

The diamond drill holes targeted copper-gold porphyry style mineralization in the Kena Copper Zone, readily identified by a 2,500 x 1,000 metre strong copper soil geochemical anomaly. The Kena Property hosts a large porphyry system consisting of a gold rich core surrounded by a broad halo with a copper-gold signature. Within the central core area of the Kena Property, the Gold Mountain and Kena Gold Zones contain a combined resource estimate with 561,900 ounces gold indicated and 2,773,100 ounces gold inferred.

Adjacent to the gold resource area and gold geochemical anomalies are large coincident induced polarization chargeability and copper soil geochemical anomalies. Drilling earlier in 2021, to the northwest near the Starlight showing, discovered a new zone which returned a 53 metre drill intercept which averaged 0.51% copper equivalent. The Dighem copper anomaly, immediately to the east of the Gold Mountain Zone will be drill tested as part of the 2022 exploration program.

This anomaly was first identified during an airborne magnetic survey (flown by a company known as “Dighem”) and later followed up with soil geochemistry and induced polarization ground surveying.
