West Mining Corp. Announces Exploration Program on Junker Property

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 24, 2024 / West Mining Corp. ("WEST" or the "Company") (CSE:WEST)(OTC PINK:WESMF)(FRA:1HL) has announced the commencement of an exploration program on its wholly-owned Junker Property in northern British Columbia. The program will integrate existing geophysical and sampling surveys with new multispectral satellite image analysis to identify high-potential gold, copper, and silver targets for follow-up field investigation this summer.

The multispectral analysis will begin with examining European Space Agency Sentinel 2 images. Composite images with PCA results at 20 m per pixel resolution will be created. Targets identified will be further refined through high-resolution satellite image capture and analysis. These datasets will then be integrated with existing airborne magnetic and field sampling surveys before field follow-up.

Interest in the Junker Property began with a stream sediment sample that tested above the 99th percentile for gold. The Junker Property spans 2,100 hectares, primarily consisting of Jurassic marine sedimentary and volcanic rocks. In 2004, Stealth Minerals collected 19 rock samples and 13 silt samples for geochemical analysis, revealing significant mineral content.

Nader Vatanchi, West Mining’s CEO, stated that the company is eager to follow up on previous interest and begin work on the Junker property. The objective is to advance all the projects in West’s portfolio.
