WEST RED LAKE GOLD MINES COMPLETES $120,000 FINANCING

West Red Lake Gold Mines Inc. ('West Red Lake Gold' or the 'Company') (CSE: RLG) (FWB: HYK) (OTC: HYLKF) announces that it has completed a non-brokered private placement of flow through units for aggregated gross proceeds of $120,000.

West Red Lake Gold issued 2,400,000 flow through units (the 'Flow Through Units') at a price of $0.05 per Flow Through Unit for aggregated proceeds of $120,000. Each Flow Through Unit consists of one common share in the capital of the Company issued on a 'flow through' basis pursuant to the Income Tax Act (Canada) and one half of a common share purchase warrant (the 'Warrant'). Each full Warrant issued in connection with the Flow Through Units entitles its holder to purchase one common share in the capital of the Company at an exercise price of $0.10 per share for a period of 18 months from the date of issuance.

West Red Lake Gold also issued 250,000 common shares and paid $11,000 to Rubicon Minerals Corporation as a final property payment pursuant to a purchase option agreement dated November 24, 2010 (as amended). Ownership of the mining claims, which are part of the Company's West Red Lake Project property located in the Red Lake Gold District of Northwest Ontario, are to be transferred to West Red Lake Gold.

In connection with the financing, West Red Lake Gold paid finders' fees consisting of $9600 in cash to qualified registrants. As a result of the financing, Accilent Capital Management Inc., a principal shareholder of the Company as a finder and also as a subscriber of Flow Through Units through its affiliate Pavilion Flow-Through L.P., has increased its direct and indirect holding of the voting securities of the Company from 31.8% to 35.04% on a fully diluted basis.

Gross proceeds from the Flow Through Units will be used by the Company for exploration expenditures on its 3100 hectare property package containing three former producing gold mines located within the Company's West Red Lake Project in the prolific Red Lake Gold District of Northwest Ontario.
