West Kirkland completed the sampling six weeks after acquiring the Three Hills and Hasbrouck deposits. The 12 ton sample was extracted by ripping rather than by drilling and blasting. Column tests are being performed by Kappes Cassiday & Associates and initial results are expected within 30 to 60 days. "Confirming that we can achieve good recoveries at Three Hills with run-of-mine material, rather than the previously modeled 1.5 inch crush, will improve permitting and financial modeling in the ongoing Prefeasibility Study," said Sandy McVey, West Kirkland's COO. "The current study envisages Three Hills to be mined first and then Hasbrouck." Photos of the sample collection at Three Hills can be viewed by visiting the company's Web site at www.wkmining.com or through this link wkmining.com The Hasbrouck Project consists of two all-oxide deposits, Hasbrouck and Three Hills, both with at-surface and near-surface mineralization, minimal pre-strip and low overall stripping ratios. Both deposits are well-drilled with over 600 bore holes. Metallurgy is well understood at Hasbrouck and Three Hills; 12 tons of samples and over 100 column tests have been performed, predicting 60% recovery at Hasbrouck and 80% recovery at 1.5 inch crush at Three Hills by heap leaching with moderate cyanide and lime consumption.Permitting The Company has completed the transfer of permits from the previous owner of the Hasbrouck Project to West Kirkland. In the coming days the Company will submit its exploration drill plans for permitting, typically granted 15-30 days after submission. Exploration West Kirkland has just completed a gravity survey at the Three Hills Property, designed to identify structures that could host extensions of the Three Hills deposit along strike and down dip. A down dip structure of the Three Hills deposit was drilled by previous owners in 2012, and yielded an intercept of 66 meters of 3.3 grams per tonne gold. True width cannot be determined from the information available. This structure will be the focus of upcoming exploration work on the Three Hills property; additional targets that may be parallel structures have been identified for drilling. At the Hasbrouck deposit a review of the geophysical database has identified potential strike extensions of the Hasbrouck deposit and structures that may host separate satellite deposits. These targets will be tested by drilling in the summer of 2014. Hasbrouck Project Resources Hasbrouck and Three Hills Deposits Resource Statement (February 21, 2014)

CIM definitions are followed for classification of Mineral Resources Mineral Resources are estimated using a gold price of US$1,200 per ounce and a silver price of US$21 per ounce Totals may not represent the sum of the parts due to rounding. The Mineral Resources have been prepared by Scott E. Wilson in conformity with CIM "Estimation of Mineral Resource and Mineral Reserves Best Practices" guidelines and are reported in accordance with the Canadian Securities Administrators NI43-101. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. There is no certainty that all or any part of the mineral resource will be converted into mineral reserve. Following the announcement of the Hasbrouck Project acquisition agreement in January, 2014, West Kirkland announced a mineral resource estimate increase of approximately 10%, which incorporated the results of subsequent drilling completed since the most recent mineral resource estimate disclosed in 2012 by the property vendor (see news release dated February 24, 2014) and the completion of a technical report dated February 21, 2014 titled "Technical Report for the Hasbrouck Project Esmeralda County, Nevada, USA, West Kirkland Mining Inc."
