WestMountain Gold Completes Drill Program at the Terra Project and Further Advances Porphyry Target

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- WestMountain Gold, Inc. ("WestMountain") (OTCBB:WMTN), an exploration and development company, today reports that drill operations were completed on September 11, 2012 at the Terra Project in Alaska. The drill program is a continuation of the company's efforts to expand the gold resource at the Terra Project. The 2012 drill program drilled 3,782 feet in four diamond drill holes.

  • Drilling extended the vein system 200 meters north and one hole was drilled at the Fish vein.

  • The bulk sample gold mill is operational and concentrates were produced during a one week test run.

  • Gustavson & Associates will complete a third party technical report (43-101 compliant) when all assay data is received. The technical report will include an updated resource from all recent and previous drilling along the 1.2 mile Ben vein gold system.

  • Preliminary assay results from soils and rock chip samples taken this field season from the Camp Creek Midway porphyry target have been received with positive results - the CCA soil line Camp Creek Midway results a high of 3.19 g/t gold from soil samples collected that averaged 401 ppb Au over 1500 feet of surface exposure. The CCA line was 4,000 feet in length and 39 samples were taken on talus slopes 100 feet apart. All but four of the samples were gold bearing above detection limits. A full report on the Camp Creek Midway target will be made after complete assays have been received.

"The 2012 season was successful in advancing the Terra Project and producing gold concentrate from the bulk sample mill," said Greg Schifrin, CEO. "The company is working on the data collected during the 2012 drill program and the drilling has demonstrated clear expansion in delineation of the Ben vein system and gold resource."
