October 25, 2023 – West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. is pleased to provide an update on the progress of its permit application and announces that it has submitted its amended permit application for its Record Ridge Industrial Mineral Mine to the British Columbia Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation and BC Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy.
The Amendments in the Amended Application include: - substituting or augmenting the use of explosives with mechanized equipment for ore extraction for the Project; - implementing enclosed environments for crushing equipment to effectively manage dust and noise; and - exploring the option with the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure of utilizing a trucking route along Highway 22 to North Port, Washington, rather than passing through the City of Rossland. |

Summary:
The Record Ridge area is located within the Quesnel Terrain of the Intermontane Belt. It is comprised of a highly deformed Jurassic (180 Ma) age volcanic island arc-back arc basin complex intruded by Tertiary volcanic and plutonic rocks
Mineralization containing economically significant concentrations of Mg is known to occur in the ultramafic rocks which have undergone serpentinization. This rock type makes up the predominant lithology described at the Project, and occurs widespread. Lower concentrations of Mg within the serpentinite are present in dioritic intrusive rocks and lenses of andesite/gabbro.
Summary:
The proposed Project mine plan will be a conventional truck and shovel open pit operation which includes drilling, blasting, loading and hauling of mineralized ore.
The mine product material will have primary and secondary crushing on-site before being loaded to the processing facility.
