- Infill drilling is nearing completion and has confirmed gradeand continuity beneath existing reserves

- Core-cutting and sampling of pre-collar holes is on-going, with 7,300m leftto complete the backlog

- Step down drilling with a 1,000m core hole to commence following infilldrilling

Managing Director Richard Hyde commented:

"The discovery of a new parallel zone at M1 South returning 2m at 138.4 g/t Auis an exciting development for West African Resources.

"Infill drilling below reserves has confirmed continuity of high-grademineralisation and will be incorporated into resources, then reserves to addhigher grade into years 5 and 6 of the mine schedule.

"Optimisation studies to be completed by Q1 2019 will include resource andreserve updates, and planned higher process plant throughput rates resulting inincreased annual gold production."
