WMT Executes Contract for Phase II of Hangzhou Soil Remediation Project

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 22, 2014) - West Mountain Capital Corp. ("the Company" or "WMT") (TSX-VENTURE:WMT) today announces that its Chinese wholly owned foreign enterprise, Shanghai Phase Separation Environmental Protection Engineering Co. Ltd. ("PS2SH") executed the contract to treat 70,000 tonnes of contaminated soil ("Phase II") on behalf of Hangzhou DADI Environmental Protection Engineering Co. Ltd. ("Dadi").

The contract was executed during a signing ceremony today held at the historic Peace Hotel in Shanghai, China. Present at the signing were officials from the Canadian government including the Minister of International Trade, The Honourable Ed Fast; and the Consul General of Shanghai, Mr. Rick Savone. The signing of the contract was showcased during a Canada-led trade mission focused on environmental protection opportunities in China.

On March 27, 2014 the Company announced that it had received a Letter of Intent from Dadi for Phase II, and it has now been delivered.

In August 2012, the Company secured a contract with Dadi to treat 33,000 tonnes of pesticide-contaminated soil as a full-scale commercial demonstration of TPS technology in China ("Phase I"). Dadi's contract for the entire Project involves the remediation of approximately 160,000 tonnes of contaminated soil and, in accordance with the terms of the original subcontract, Dadi may offer the Company additional volumes once the 33,000 tonnes is completed. As of April 25th the Company had treated 29,041 tonnes of soil under Phase I and expects to complete its obligations in June 2014. Phase II operations will start immediately upon the completion of Phase I.

"Based on the exceptional performance of the TPS technology and the professionalism of our team, Dadi and the customer have offered our Company 70,000 tonnes of additional soil for treatment," said Paul Antle, President and CEO. "This is a monumental volume of soil which we are fully prepared to handle." A new TPS unit will be financed and manufactured by the Company's new strategic partner, Jereh Energy Services Corp. ("Jereh") of Yantai, China. For Phase II Jereh will manufacture a TPS-2-3EC model which contains two fireboxes each with three extraction chambers for an annual treatment capacity of ~77,000 tonnes. Manufacturing should take 3 - 4 months at which time the unit will be transported to Hangzhou and commissioned on site.

The main pesticide contaminants to be removed from the soil are the carcinogens DDT, DDE and DDD. The Company's TPS technology will safely extract all the organic compounds present in the soil rendering it inert without producing any harmful emissions and recovering all process water for treatment and reuse.

"In China, Dadi has proven to be an excellent industry partner for us in the field of soil remediation and Jereh has proven to be invaluable in the manufacture of our equipment," said Antle. "Our staff work well with both companies and are building a great reputation in the sector. We are looking forward to exploring other opportunities with both Dadi and Jereh in the months ahead."
