WESTMOUNT EXECUTES OTATAKAN AND PILOT EAST, ONTARIO LITHIUM

PROPERTY AGREEMENTS

Vancouver, British Columbia, October 12, 2022 : Westmount Minerals Corp . (" Westmount" or

the "Company") (CSE: WMC) is pleased to announce it has executed property option agreements

for two prospective lithium claim groups. The Otatakan and E ast Pilot lithium properties total

5,002 hectares in size (the “Properties”) and are located within the Red La ke Mining Division of

northwestern Ontario. Both Properties are located east of Ear Falls, Ontario with good all-weather

and logging road access (Figure 1).

In addition, t he Properties are between 21 a nd 32 kilometers (“km”) southwest of Green M etals

Technology (ASX:GT1) Root Lithium property where a 24,000 metre drilling program for resource

definition has commenced with extensional and step -out target drilling (GT1 news-August 8,

2022). GT1 also recently announced a strategic collaboration agreement with Lithium Americas

Corp. to build an integrated lithium chemicals business throughout North America utilizing GT1’s

Canadian lithium assets. (GT1 news- Sept. 20, 2022)

Figure 1. Regional location and access to the Properties.

The Properties have many geological attributes that make them attra ctive to host rare -element

pegmatites (Li, Cs, Ta, Rb) (Figure 2) that include:

• A muscovite -bearing granite is hos t to both Properties, an S -type peraluminous fertile

parental granite according to a 2003 Ontario Geological Survey (“Breaks et al., 2003”)

and in contact with metasediments which are excellent hosts for rare -element

pegmatites.

• Located less than 20 km f rom a n Archea n-age terrane boundary between the English

River Subprovince and the Uchi Subprovince which reportedly has an integral relationship

to lithium occurrences and deposits of northwestern Ontario (Breaks et al., 2003)

• 1959 Ontario Geological Survey (“OGS-1959”) lakeshore mapping of large lakes in the

eastern part of the English River Subprovince identified grey p egmatites, pegmatitic

granites and beryl and/or tourmaline occurrences (ODM Maps 1959-1).

• Elevated Li and Cs -lake sediment samples by the OGS -1959 of 1 -21.5 ppm on the

Otatakan claim group and 2.1-27.98 on East Pilot claim group.

David Tafel, CE O of W estmount commented: “We are excited to acquire the se 2 critical metal

Properties for Westmount. The English River Subprovince has historically been ignored for it s

lithium potential despite the overwhelming geological and geochemical evidence to the contrary.

GT1’s drilling activity to the northeast brings much anticipation to the area. We expect to have our

geological team on the ground very shortl y to commence mapping and sampling of both

Properties.”
