from the Mineral Resources Authority of Mongolia stating that Western's
exploration licenses 7685X and 4969X, which are the primary licenses for
Western's Gurvanbulag deposit have been suspended for three months due to
violations cited by inspectors from Mongolia's Atomic Energy Agency. If Western
is not able to satisfy inspectors from Mongolia's Atomic Energy Agency that such
violations have been corrected, then Western's licenses 7685X and 4969X may be
subject to revocation.

June 29, 2009 to permit certain conditions relating the business, affairs,
