Isortoq Project

The 41,900 hectare Isortoq Project is a large iron-titanium-vanadium prospect in
southern Greenland. Previous drilling combined with geophysical results to date
has confirmed a potential strike length of at least 16.3 kilometres with the
mineralized body being open to the south. 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 km 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 Ltd. and its predecessors. Bench scale beneficiation tests
completed by the project vendor on previous Isortoq core samples gave average
concentrate grades of 48.7% Fe (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.
