Westmount Minerals Corp. announced the implementation of its 2022 exploration plans for the Douay East Gold Project located in the Abitibi District of Western Québec. 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.
