West African Iron Ore Corporation announced that geological mapping over the northern portion of the Forecariah property has revealed two highly prospective new target areas south of Wondima. The company has initiated a more intensive exploration program based on these discoveries.

The new prospects, now known as Wondima and Kantinbanga (north and northeastern portion of the Forecariah permit were outlined by geological crews who are conducting detailed mapping. The Wondima target is an extensive iron bearing layered prospect that has been identified along the northern extension of the Sambalama Kalyadi magnetic anomaly. The target consists of several zones in excess of 50 square kilometers, which are consistently flat lying, or with a very shallow dip to the west.

The iron bearing horizons are mainly composed of hematite oolites and pisolites with magnetite gravels. The upper part of the iron cap forms a hardened accumulation of silica, alumina and iron oxide. Several polymictic pebbles including gneiss, quartzite, quartz, and amphibolites fragments have been observed on top of the iron bearing horizons.

At least 3 different layers of this hardened, iron rich horizon have been observed at a river cut near the edge of second Plateau (located near by Amaraya).

Based on results obtained in the field on grab samples analyzed using a Niton XRF analyzer, the Company has initiated a more intensive exploration program on Wondima. This work will include systematic mapping and pit sampling of the iron rich horizons over an area in excess of 50 square kilometers in order to better understand the sub surface lithology. Depending upon these results and the availability of personnel, a follow up gravity survey over a 3 kilometers by 2 kilometers area is being planned to generate initial drill targets.

Currently Fugro Ground Geophysics PTY Limited of Australia is conducting a ground gravity survey on the Sambalama and Kalyadi targets and should be completed by the end of February. The intent if logistics allow, would be for the geophysical team to continue their work on Wondima.

The 2nd target Kantinbanga is a magnetite quartzite anomaly appears to have a strike length of approximately 2 kilometers and a width of at least 500 meters is currently being mapped. The Company prepared all cuttings, on site, from the reverse circulation drilling program. SRK Consulting of Australia inspected our facility and confirmed our quality control program .All samples analyzed were conducted by SGS Canada Inc, in Lakefield, Ontario in Canada.

The company maintains a systematic quality control program including the use of standards, blanks, duplicates, and an independent check laboratory. The DDH (Diamond Drill Hole) Assay samples collected are sent to SGS South Africa (Pty) Limited and the RCH (Reverse Circulation Hole) assay samples are sent to SGS Canada Inc in Lakefield, Ontario. The performance of the quality control samples associated with these data indicates acceptable analytical quality.
