WNP Western Prospector Grp. Com Npv

Western Prospector Group Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:WNP)("Western") today announced it
has discontinued legal action against Tinpo Holdings Industrial Company Limited
("Tinpo") and others after it determined that a favorable judgment would not
significantly benefit Western.


On December 5, 2009, a judge of the Ontario Superior Court granted an order
approving the discontinuance, on a without costs basis, of Western's claim
against Tinpo, 0829984 British Columbia Ltd. ("B.C. Ltd."), Yunfei Chen
("Chen"), Howard Balloch ("Balloch") and The Balloch Group (a firm) ("Balloch
Group").


Western's claim had sought specific performance, or alternatively damages, in
connection with B.C. Ltd.'s take-over bid for Western, guaranteed by Tinpo, that
was withdrawn in late September 2008. The order approving the discontinuance
does not include a release of liability in respect of B.C. Ltd. or Tinpo, but
does include a release of liability in respect of Chen, Balloch and Balloch
Group.


Western had prosecuted the claim assiduously, but concluded based on information
gathered in the course of the litigation that it appeared any judgment it might
obtain against B.C. Ltd. or Tinpo would not be effectively collectible or
enforceable at this time, and that the claims against the other defendants
should not be further pursued.
