West African Minerals Corporation

("West African" or the "Company")

Requisition of General Meeting

Update

As previously announced on 11 February 2015, the Board of West African Minerals Corporation received a requisition (the "Requisition") from Beaufort Nominees Limited ("Beaufort") requesting that the Company convene a general meeting of shareholders of the Company to consider various resolutions to change the composition of the Board of Directors. On 12 March 2015 the Company notified shareholders that it was seeking clarification from Beaufort as to the nature of its interest in shares of the Company to determine whether the Requisition was valid under the Company's memorandum and articles of association.

Following receipt of written advice from leading counsel, the Company has now determined that the Requisition has been validly served.

The Company is currently in discussions with representatives of Beaufort and Panetta Partners Limited, the Company's largest shareholder, with regards to the Requisition and the resolutions proposed, and arrangements for the general meeting, and a further announcement will be made in due course.
