West Melville Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WMM) ("West Melville" or the "Company")
today announced that surveys at the Isortoq iron-titanium-vanadium project in
southwest Greenland have identified a second mineralized troctolite dyke
adjacent and parallel to the main body. The Company also announced that it has
acquired an additional exploration licence strategically located to cover the
interpreted strike extension of the Isortoq dykes.


"This is an exciting development in the evolution of the Isortoq Project,"
stated Dr. Rory Moore, President and CEO of West Melville Metals. "The
identification of a parallel mineralized body significantly increases the
tonnage potential at the Isortoq Project. In addition, we are pleased to have
been granted the additional Exploration Licence by the Bureau of Minerals and
Petroleum, Greenland (BMP). This land is strategically located immediately
adjacent to and on strike with the mineralized bodies."


Program Highlights:



--  Parallel mineralized body identified 
--  Geophysics implies significant potential to increase tonnage 
--  Strike length of Isortoq trend expanded to 16.3 kilometres 
--  134 line kilometres of ground geophysics 
--  109 square kilometres of additional exploration license granted



A total of 134 line kilometres of ground magnetic surveys were conducted over
11.5 kilometres of strike length along portions of the mineralized trend at
Isortoq Main. Line spacing was set at 100 metres over the length of the survey
and in-fill 50 metre spacing was completed over the area of delineation drilling
(see News Release WMM12-04 dated August 13, 2012). 


The mineralized troctolite (host rock containing the Fe, Ti and V
mineralization) can now be traced over a strike length of 16.3 kilometres using
interpretive geophysics and obvious surficial structural features combined with
current and historic core drilling confirmations. Ground magnetic surveys
suggest that mineralization occurs in at least two distinct and separate,
parallel bodies approximately 900 metres apart. Previous airborne geophysical
coverage over only a fraction of the area interpreted the troctolite to be one
single body with a short fault off-set. To view images of the geophysical survey
results please visit the Company's website at

The 2012 ground geophysical surveys concluded the potential for multiple,
parallel or en-echelon mineralized bodies and that the strike lengths could be
significantly greater than previously anticipated. Geoscientific data collected
in 2012 now leads the Company to believe there is the potential to expand the
previous size estimates of Isortoq. The Company immediately applied to the BMP
for an exploration license covering 109 km2 of "on trend", yet unexplored
ground. The exploration license has now been granted.


Isortoq Project

The 41,900 hectare Isortoq Project is a large iron-titanium-vanadium prospect in
southern Greenland. Previous drilling has confirmed a potential strike length of
15 kilometres with the mineralized body being open in both directions. The
property is favourably located on a deep, ice-free ocean inlet on the temperate
southern coast of Greenland within 60 km of Narsaq and 100 kilometres from
Narsarsuaq International Airport. The mineralization at Isortoq is similar to
the Mapochs deposit in South Africa, which has been successfully exploited for a
number of decades by Evraz Highveld Steel and Vanadium and its predecessors.
Bench scale beneficiation tests completed by the project vendor on Isortoq core
samples gave average concentrate grades of 62.6% FeO; 19.1% TiO2 and 0.32% V2O5
with acceptably low levels of penalty elements S, P, Si, Al. These are positive
indicators that support the future economic potential of the project. West
Melville is in the process of purchasing a 100% interest in the project from
Hunter Minerals Pty Ltd of Australia.
