WMM

West Melville Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WMM) ("West Melville" or "the Company")
has signed an option agreement with Quirina Vasquez Vargas (the "Vendor") that
secures an exclusive option for West Melville to acquire 100% ownership of the
Alex Copper Property (the "Property") in Sonora, Mexico. Under the terms of the
agreement, West Melville has until May 31, 2014 to conduct due diligence
following which it can secure a 100% interest in the property by paying
USD$25,000 and issuing 250,000 shares in the capital stock of the Company to the
Vendor. The Vendor will retain a 2% Gross Royalty on the Property, subject to
West Melville's right to purchase 1% of the Royalty at any time for USD$1
million.


"The Alex Property is an early stage project with intriguing potential that
represents an exciting low cost opportunity for West Melville," stated Dr. Rory
Moore, President and CEO of West Melville Metals. "Evidence of copper
mineralization covering an area of at least 1,200 x 800 metres has been
identified by outcrop and shallow pit sampling, with assays ranging up to 14%
copper reported. The region of southern Arizona and northern Mexico is well
known for the occurrence of large porphyry copper deposits, a number of which
have been developed into world-class copper mines. In the context of the
regional geological setting, the identification of potentially significant
copper mineralization on the Alex Property makes this a compelling exploration
target for West Melville. A due diligence site visit will be undertaken by
management in the coming weeks."


The Alex Property

The Alex Property is a copper-silver exploration project covering 1,000 hectares
located in the foothills of the Sierra Madre about 140 kilometers east of
Hermosillo in Sonora, Mexico. This falls within the southern extent of the
prolific Laramide porphyry copper belt that spans southern Arizona and New
Mexico and the northern part of Sonora, Mexico. The Property was first
discovered in the early 1950's when a local rancher uncovered copper
mineralization while digging holes for fence posts. The Property was introduced
to the current owner (a family headed by a retired geologist) in the early
eighties but was only successfully located in the field in 2006. Limited
geological investigations conducted between 2006 and 2009 identified evidence of
porphyry or IOCG copper mineralization over an area of at least 1,200 x 800 m
with mineralization occurring in quartz veins, open stockworks and breccias.
Copper-bearing minerals include chalcocite, chalcopyrite and cuprite. No modern
exploration and/or drilling have ever been undertaken on the property. Access is
by 4x4 vehicle, and a permanent water source is located 12 kilometres from the
Property.


The Isortoq Project

Following on the News Release of November 18, 2013 reporting that the Company
had secured 100% ownership in the Isortoq iron-titanium-vanadium project in
southern Greenland, applications have now been filed with the Bureau of Minerals
and Petroleum in Greenland to transfer title for the Isortoq exploration
licences to West Melville. An initial inferred mineral resource estimate of 70.3
million tonnes grading 29.6% total iron (Fe), 10.9% titanium oxide (TiO2) and
0.144% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) has been defined on the property. It is
significant to note that the initial resource represents drilling on less than
one kilometre of the Isortoq body while evidence from previous drilling and the
2012 ground magnetic survey has demonstrated a strike length exceeding 16.3
kilometres. The Company is continuing its efforts to attract a joint venture
partner to assist with advancing the project.
