Western Standard Metals Ltd. is a Canadian based company, listed on the TSX Venture Exchange, with a focus on acquisition, exploration and development of gold properties in North America. Western Standard recently acquired a 100% interest in the Almaden Gold Project in Idaho.

• Almaden: contains 864,000 ounce measured and indicated resource plus 84,000 ounce inferred resource (NI 43-101 compliant) at surface that is amenable to open pit mining and heap leach processing. Excellent potential to identify high grade 'Bonanza' mineralization with deeper drilling.

• Crane Creek: Epithermal gold system similar to Almaden located 10km to the south. Drilling has identified disseminated gold mineralization at surface hosted in a sandstone unit. Excellent potential to discover high grade "Bonanza" mineralization with deeper drilling.
