West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. announced the signing of a Letter of Intent (the LOI) with Skemxist Solutions (SKM) (an Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB) limited partnership with the Sutherland Group of Companies (SGC)). The LOI contemplates the provision of road construction, site preparation, mining operations and various support services to the Company for its Record Ridge Industrial Mineral Mine (RRIMM) near Rossland, British Columbia. The RRIMM project contains critical minerals essential to the development of Canada's green economy and achievement of its climate change goals.

It is projected to produce up to 200,000 tonnes of magnesium ore per annum over an initial two-year period. The LOI builds on an earlier cooperation agreement signed between the Company and OIB, and follows the OIB's own independent review and continued oversight of the RRIM project, which is located is in the OIB's asserted traditional territory. The Company is in the latter stages of seeking its permits through the BC Mine Development Review Committee, and hopes to conclude negotiation of a definitive agreement with SKM in the weeks ahead.
