/CNW/ - WESTERN GOLD EXPLORATION LTD. (TSXV: WGLD) (the
"Company") is deeply saddened by the sudden death of
Willie McLucas, a member of the
Company's Board of Directors. Mr. McLucas passed away last
week.
Willie McLucas established his
successful career as a mining financier at Waverley Mining,
developing extensive knowledge of the mining industry from
exploration through to production in coal, gold and base metals.
His experience took him to Australia, Bolivia, Chile, France, Kazakhstan, South
Africa, Turkey and
Zimbabwe. After an early career as
a stockbroker and fund manager, his first appointment to the board
of a listed company was with Perseverance Corporation in
Australia. Perseverance developed
the Fosterville mine outside

Latterly he had been advising the Board of Western Gold Exploration
on their ventures across the Dalradian Belt in Scotland and had been enthused by the
potential and possibilities of their prospects.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of our colleague,
Willie McLucas," said Harry Dobson, Chairman of the Company. On behalf
