VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 25, 2014) - West Kirkland Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WKM) today announces it has submitted a Mine Plan of Operations to the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP) and made application for a Nevada Reclamation Permit for its proposed Three Hills mine only seven months after acquiring the asset. Three Hills is planned for the first phase of production of the Hasbrouck Project, located near Tonopah, Nevada.

Due to the small footprint and low environmental impact of the proposed Three Hills mine, the plan of operations conforms to requirements of an environmental assessment (EA) and the BLM may opt to evaluate the project under this criteria rather than the lengthier environmental impact statement (EIS). If the BLM elects the EA process, West Kirkland could potentially start construction within thirteen months. A decision is expected from the BLM early in 2015.

Submitting the Three Hills Mine Plan of Operations, authored by independent consultants Enviroscientists, Inc. of Reno, initiates the permitting process for the Hasbrouck Project. West Kirkland plans to start the permitting process for the proposed Hasbrouck mine in 2015.

West Kirkland's independent mining consultants, Mine Development Associates, in association with Kappes Cassiday and Associates, Golder Associates, H.C. Osborne and Associates, and NewFields, are scheduled to complete a prefeasibility study of the Hasbrouck Project in the first quarter of 2015.

Under the Plan of Operations the Company has allowed for additional exploration to build on discoveries that have been made to date.
