Westmount Minerals Implements 2022 Exploration Plans-
Douay East Gold Project
Vancouver, British Columbia, March 24, 2022: Westmount Minerals Corp. ("Westmount" or the
"Company") (CSE: WMC) is pleased to announce the implementation of its 2022 exploration plans
for the Douay East Gold Project located in the Abitibi District of Western Québec. With the closing of
its Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) for gross proceeds of $458,400 on March 17, 2022, the Company is
fully funded to complete the first phase of its recommended exploration program.
In 2021, Westmount commissioned a high resolution airborne magnetic survey over the 4,868-
hectare (“Ha”) Douay East Property and, in parallel with the listing process during the fall and winter
of 2021/2022, the Company completed a comprehensive GIS compilation of historical and public
domain exploration related data. Most recently, the Company has compiled all historical drilling
conducted on the property.
Westmount’s 2022 program is beginning with a surface geochemical survey over selected parts of
the property to be followed by overburden drilling to evaluate and sample basal tills and to map and
sample the top of bedrock. The surface geochemical program will consist of a Soil Gas Hydrocarbon
(“SGH”) survey to commence in late spring. Details of the SGH survey will be based upon on-going
interpretation of the compiled exploration data set. Planning subsequent exploration, to test the
basal till – bedrock horizon, will also be based on on-going interpretation of the exploration data as
well as results of the SGH survey. The Company is currently evaluating methods and suppliers to
complete this work. All exploration work is being completed to generate targets for diamond drilling
for gold mineralization on the property.
David Tafel, CEO and Director of Westmount commented: “Our high resolution airborne survey
completed in 2021 combined with the historical geology and exploration compilation forms a
very strong foundation from which to launch our exploration program. We were particularly
pleased with the quality of archived drill data which wil l support preliminary 3 -D
interpretations on the property and most importantly the widespread anomalous gold assays
in the historical drilling”.
