September 27, 2010

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, September 27, 2010 - West Kirkland Mining Inc. (WKM:TSXV) (“West Kirkland” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the start of a planned $1 million dollar drill program in the prolific Kirkland Lake Belt.  Drilling by the Company will initially focus on geophysical and geochemical targets and will then  follow up on historic drill intercepts. 

West Kirkland will be drilling on its properties located along the Larder Lake – Cadillac Break between Kirkland Lake and Matachewan.  Historically over 40 million ounces of gold production has taken place in Kirkland Lake just past the east end of the Company’s property package.  To the west, at the Young Davidson Mine in Matachewan, a decision has been taken to place a new resource of 2.8 million ounces of gold under construction for production.

West Kirkland’s Vice President of Exploration, Michael Allen, said “We’re pleased to now be drilling in the prolific Kirkland Lake Belt after weeks of preparation.  The number of quality targets on our properties and the potential for discovery should make for an exciting drill program.”

West Kirkland’s President, R. Michael Jones said “The recent announcement to begin construction of the Young Davidson mine demonstrates the potential of this district farther west than previously understood.  Our land position is in the heart of this belt and we look forward to exploring this very exciting property position. The project follows our successful model of large scale exploration along the exact regional trend of known mines nearby”
