West Vault Mining Confirms CEO Appointment

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, July 12, 2022 – West Vault Mining Inc. (TSXV:WVM, OTCQX:WVMDF) (“West Vault” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that Sandy McVey was confirmed as the CEO of WVM at the Company’s recent AGM held on June 23, 2022. Mr. McVey had previously served as interim CEO since September 2021.

WVM Chairman Peter Palmedo said, “Sandy was instrumental in identifying and acquiring the Hasbrouck Gold Project back in 2014.  Since then, he has been the responsible person moving the project forward to its current permitted and shovel-ready status. Sandy’s extensive background in mine development and operations supports our strategy of building long-term shareholder value. With volatility roiling global markets, I believe patiently awaiting an optimal time to move this project forward with both low risk and high potential returns will serve as the most prudent and rewarding strategy. We are pleased to have Sandy oversee this as our CEO.”
