additional mineral claims total 1,376 hectares and were purchased for a purchase

to the known magnesium mineralization and potential use in any future project
development.

Orion Metallurgical Testing

Orion has been engaged to conduct laboratory scale metallurgical test work to
evaluate the potential of using new chemical technologies to extract and produce
Magnesium oxide ("MgO"), Magnesium ("Mg"), and Iron-bearing Silicon ("Si") from
mineral samples provided by the Company. Orion has not yet completed this test
work or report progress to date. The Company anticipates future progress
reporting as reports become available. The Orion's test work is being conducted
under the supervision and direction of James G. Blencoe, Ph.D., (Stanford
University) President and CEO of Orion.


SRK Independent Project Review Gap Analysis

On June 4, 2013, the Company released the results of a Preliminary Economic
Assessment ("PEA") on its 100% owned Record Ridge Project (the "Record Ridge
Property"). The Record Ridge Property is an intermediate advanced
exploration-stage magnesium ("Mg") project located in southern British Columbia
(BC), Canada. The PEA was prepared by SRK and has been filed on the Company's
SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and is also available on the Company's website
www.whyresources.com.


The PEA presumes a conventional open pit mine, a novel hydrometallurgical
processing plant, a calcined magnesia intermediate product plant along with a
fused magnesia production plant with pre-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") using a
5% discount rate of US$1.339 billion and Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 21%,
and a post-tax NPV of US$830 million using a 5% discount and post-tax IRR of
17%.


SRK was more recently engaged to prepare a Project Review Gap Analysis in
respect of the Company's Record Ridge Project. SRK is anticipated to provide the
Company with an independent review of the Project in a technical memorandum in
January 2013. It is anticipated that SRK will review available documentation and
information pertaining to the Record Ridge Project and comment on its
sufficiency for use in a Prefeasibility Study ("PFS"). SRK will conduct a
desktop review of the minimum reporting requirements for a PFS and assess gaps
which should be addressed prior to or over the course of the study. It is
anticipated that SRK will provide the following as a result of this review:


- A list of those gaps in the Company's currently available data and information
which should be addressed in a PFS.


- General recommendations for how those gaps can be remedied.

- A conceptual budget and schedule for completion of a PFS based on assumptions
that the gaps can be addressed either prior to or as a part of the PFS.
