VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, April 13, 2011 – West Kirkland Mining Inc. (WKM: TSX-V) (“West Kirkland” or the “Company”) is pleased to report the addition of Kent Samuelson to its technical team as Manager, Nevada & Utah, as well as the commencement of drilling in Nevada.
Mr. Samuelson is a Professional Geologist with over 25 years of exploration and development experience throughout the western United States. Recently, Mr. Samuelson was the Geology Manager who led the three-year discovery and delineation program at Fronteer Gold’s Long Canyon project, which resulted in the discovery of over two million ounces of gold. Mr. Samuelson will be leading West Kirkland’s exploration efforts on its 12 property, 257km2 land package in northeastern Nevada and Utah.
”Kent’s discovery track record makes him a key addition to our Nevada team. His efforts at Long Canyon directly lead to the recent purchase of Fronteer Gold by Newmont Mining for $2.3 billion. We’re excited to have Kent join our team and help us advance our portfolio of properties in the United States.” said Michael G. Allen, West Kirkland’s Vice President of Exploration.
In addition, the Company is pleased to announce the commencement of drilling on the KB Property. Major Drilling America, Inc. has mobilized a reverse circulation rig to the property and is drilling targets generated by soil and rock sampling.
Eleven of West Kirkland's Nevada properties, including the KB Project, are held under an option agreement with Fronteer Gold where West Kirkland can acquire a majority 60 per cent interest. These assets are included in the recent takeover of Fronteer Gold by Newmont Mining.

Note to US Investors
This independent media has been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the securities laws in effect in Canada, which differ from the requirements of United States securities laws. The terms “Mineral Resource”, “Indicated Mineral Resource” and “Inferred Mineral Resource” are defined in and required to be disclosed by NI 43-101. However, these terms are not defined terms under SEC S-K 1300 and are normally not permitted to be used in reports and registration statements filed with the SEC. In addition, the terms “Mineral Reserve”, “Probable Mineral Reserve” and “Proven Mineral Reserve” are also defined in NI43-101 and not S-K 1300. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an “Indicated Mineral Resource” or “Inferred Mineral Resource” will ever be upgraded to a higher category or converted into Mineral Reserves in accordance with S-K 1300. “Inferred Mineral Resources” have a great amount of uncertainty as to their existence, and great uncertainty as to their economic and legal feasibility. Under Canadian rules, estimates of Inferred Mineral Resources may not form the basis of Feasibility or Pre-feasibility Studies, except in rare cases. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of an Inferred Mineral Resource exists or is economically or legally mineable. Disclosure of “contained ounces” in a Mineral Resource is permitted disclosure under Canadian regulations; however, the SEC normally only permits issuers to report mineralization that does not constitute “Reserves” by SEC S-K 1300 standards as in-place tonnage and grade without reference to unit measures. Accordingly, information contained in this independent media contains descriptions of West Vault Mining’s mineral deposits that may not be comparable to similar information made public by U.S. companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements under the United States federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder.
