(TSXV: WHY) ("West High Yield" or the "Company") is pleased to announce two concurrent private placement offerings (collectively, the "Offerings") to raise aggregate gross proceeds of up to CAD$1,250,000. GloRes Securities Inc. (the "Agent") will act as Agent for the Offerings.

The first of the two Offerings shall consist of the sale of up to 1,500,000 units (the "Flow-Through Units") of the Company at a price of CAD$0.50 per Flow-Through Unit for gross proceeds of up to $750,000.

Each Flow-Through Warrant, together with CAD$0.70, will entitle the holder thereof to acquire one (1) additional Common Share for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of issuance. The Flow-Through Warrants will not be listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV").

The second of the two Offerings shall consist of the sale of up to 1,190,476 units (the "Standard Units") of the Company at a price of CAD$0.42 per Standard Unit for gross proceeds of up to CAD$500,000.

The Standard Warrants will not be listed on the TSXV.

For its role as agent under the Offerings, the Agent will receive: (i) a cash commission equal to 6% of the aggregate gross proceeds raised by the Company under the Offerings from investors that were introduced to the Company by the Agent; and (ii) broker warrants (the "Broker Warrants") equal to 6% of the sum of Regular Units and Flow-Through Units issued pursuant to the Offerings to investors that were introduced to the Company by the Agent.

The Broker Warrants will not be listed on the TSXV.

The proceeds from the issuance of the Standard Units will be used for general working capital purposes and expenses.

The Offerings are subject to certain closing conditions including, but not limited to, the receipt of all necessary approvals, including the acceptance and approval of the TSXV.
