West African Minerals Corp was bestowed with the honor of receiving the Best Performing Share Award at the London AIM Awards.

Every year, The AIM Awards recognizes top companies that have utilized the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange to raise the capital needed for expansion. Both old and new company performance is rated and those companies that out-shined all others are showcased in 11 different categories.

Mr Steven Dattels is the chief executive officer and co-executive chairman of the West African Minerals Corporation. With his superior experience as a mining executive, Mr Dattels is leading this company forward into the future, with promises of continuing positive growth and substantial earnings. He is very proud of the performance of the West African Minerals Corporation.

Recently speaking to the Investors Chronical, Mr Dattels said that he is thrilled that WAFM (West African Minerals Corporation) has been successful in the ability to develop a model which will provide quality ore to customers at a low price. He said that "Iron ore is a needed commodity all over the world and we are pleased to be on the cutting end of providing this resource to businesses world-wide. Our projected low overhead costs of mining iron ore means we will be able to provide quality iron ore to our customers at a lower cost than other mining efforts." This is just one good business practice at WAFM, and it is a shining example of why this company is worthy of an AIM Award as the best performing stock for 2012.
