Exploration At The Doby George Deposit In Aura Project

VANCOUVER - Western Exploration Inc. reported on initial assay results following the completion of the Phase 1 drill program at Doby George, one of three main mineral deposits located at the Company's wholly-owned Aura project, located in Elko County, Nevada. Highlights include: DGC789 intersected 20.88 meters of 1.41 g/t and 23.63 meters of 3.27 g/t Au, including 7.32 meters of 5.27 g/t Au; and DGC790 intersected 54.56 meters of 2.08 g/t Au, including 6.4 meters of 4.70 g/t Au.

Darcy Marud, Chief Executive Officer and Director, said, "The first two drill holes completed at Doby George demonstrate the remarkable continuity and tenor of near surface oxide gold mineralization and support our assumption that Doby George can be a high-quality, high-grade oxide gold deposit. Importantly, wide zones of higher-grade mineralization offer potential to expand the current resources, not only within the oxide zone but also at depth within the unoxidized part of Doby George."
