West Melville Metals Inc. announced an initial National Instrument (NI) 43-101 resource estimate for the Isortoq Iron-Titanium-Vanadium Project located in southern Greenland. The Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate for the Isortoq Project describes 70.3 million tonnes grading 29.6% total iron (Fe), 10.9% titanium oxide (TiO2) and 0.144% vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) applying a 15% iron cutoff. 2012 program highlights: Evaluation drilling completed on a section that represents a small component of the overall size potential of the Isortoq body has defined an initial inferred resource of 70.3 Mt grading 29.6% Fe, 10.9% TiO2 & 0.144% V2O3.

A ground magnetic survey that expanded the strike length of the main Isortoq trend to 16.3 kilometres and identified the potential for multiple, parallel or en-echelon mineralized bodies running parallel to the main body. Secured a new exploration license (109 km2) covering the potential extension of the mineralization to the south. West Melville contracted APEX Geoscience Ltd. (APEX) in the spring of 2012 to provide geological services and supervision of an 11 hole, 2,671 metre core drill program at the Isortoq prospect and subsequently retained APEX to complete the NI 43-101 resource estimate.

For 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 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 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.
