Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – December 20, 2018) – Westminster Resources Ltd. (TSXV: WMR) (the “Company” or “Westminster”) is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Jason Cubitt as the new Interim President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective immediately. The Company has accepted the resignation of Mr. Glen Indra as its President, CEO and Director and wishes to thank Glen for his years of service to Westminster.

Westminster is further pleased to announce that all preparatory permits and licenses have been granted pursuant to the acquisition of the strategic copper properties in Peru (see press release dated July 17, 2018) and it is now awaiting final notice from the Peruvian Public Registry of the transfer of licenses from Latin Resources Limited’s subsidiary to Westminster’s Peruvian subsidiary.

Says Mr. Cubitt, “Closing the Peruvian transaction has been a long and arduous process but we’re heartened to be at its conclusion and look forward to beginning the 2019 calendar year with a clear road ahead to developing this strategic land base.” He continues, “While delays and market headwinds have taken a toll on Westminster’s share price, Management remains confident that the investment in this package of properties in southwest Peru will form the basis of a valuable copper land bank in this world-class mining district, and reward shareholders for their patience.”

Mr. Cubitt has 25 years of experience working with resource companies in various capacities as founder, senior manager, and institutional investor. Mr. Cubitt has been a director of Westminster since August 2017. He is also a director of Discovery Harbour Resources Corp.
