WESTMOUNT ADDS THE KABA PROPERTY TO ITS NW ONTARIO LITHIUM
PORTFOLIO
Vancouver, British Columbia, April 24, 2023: Westmount Minerals Corp. (" Westmount" or the
"Company") ( CSE: WMC ) is pleased to announce that it has added to its NW Ontario lithium
property portfolio by executing an option agreement to earn a 100% interest in the Kaba lithium
claim group (the “Property”) comprising 9 claims totaling 3,486 hectares.
Highlights of the Property:
• Located in the Georgia Lake, Ontario lithium-pegmatite region
• Multiple pegmatite showings identified on the property
• Close to infrastructure and easily accessible by road
The well-known Georgia Lake Li-pegmatite field is just west of the Property and represents the
largest concentration of rare -element mineralization in northwestern Ontario (Breaks et al.,
2008). The field area currently measures 32 km by 105 km and hosts 38 rare-element occurrences
and 10 Li-bearing pegmatite dykes.
Within the pegmatite field, Rock Tech Lithium Inc. recently completed a Pre-Feasibility Study (NR-
November 16, 2022) stating its Georgia Lake property has 10.6 million tonnes (mt) of Indicated
Mineral Resources grading 0.88% Li2O and 4.22 mt of Inferred Mineral Resources at a grade of 1%
Li2O (NR- March 7, 2023). Other companies with lithium mineralization prospects in the Georgia
Lake pegmatite field include Imagine Lithium Inc. and Ultra Lithium Inc.
The Kaba lithium claim group is located 50 kilometers (“km”) northeast of Nipigon, Ontario and is
accessible by logging roads from the Trans Canada Highway 17. The property has many geological
attributes that make it attractive to host rare -element pegmatites (Li thium, C esium, Ta ntalum,
Rubidium) that include:
• Multiple white and pink pegmatites with garnet and tourmaline have been documented
and mapped on the Property by the Ontario Geological survey (“OGS”) in 1970 (Map
2293, Ontario Division of Mines). Garnet and tourmaline are good indicator minerals of
fertile granitic melts which could host lithium.
• Several faults transect the Property which provide excellent fracture systems for possible
pegmatite dyke deposition.
• The granite is an S-type peraluminous fertile parental granite according to a 2003 Ontario
Geological Survey (Breaks et al., 2003) and is considered a high potential target for rare
elements.
• The Property geology is dominated by a muscovite -bearing granite in contact with
metasediments, both of which are excellent hosts for rare-element pegmatites.

David Tafel, CEO of Westmount commented: “We are very pleased to be able to add to our NW
Ontario lithium portfolio. The Kaba lithium property is well situated within the expanding
Georgia Lake lithium region and with multiple pegmatite showings already identified, our
geological team has an opportunity to advance exploration efforts quickly. The Property is
easily accessible, and we expect to commence reconnaissance exploration and sampling this
spring.”
