WestMountain Gold Signs Letter of Intent to Purchase Corvus Gold’s Remaining Interest in Terra Gold Project Joint Venture

WestMountain Gold, Inc. (“WestMountain”) (OTCQB: WMTN), an emerging mineral exploration and development company, today announced it has signed a letter of intent (LOI) to acquire Corvus Gold’s remaining interest in the Terra Project in Alaska. Upon closing, this transaction will give WestMountain 100% ownership in the project, which the Company expects to yield greater than 1,000,000 ounces of gold over the life of the mine.

Under terms of the proposed transaction, which is subject to customary closing conditions, WestMountain will acquire Corvus’ interest for $6.0 million in cash and 750,000 shares of restricted common stock. The closing will occur in stages with WestMountain making the following milestone payments:

• April 15, 2013: $3.0 million in cash and 750,000 shares of common stock bearing a two-year hold period.
• July 15, 2013: $2.0 million in cash.
• April 15, 2014: $1.0 million in cash.
• Going forward, Corvus will be paid sliding scale NSR royalty of 0.5% to 3% on precious metals (3% above $1,500 gold price) and a flat 2% NSR royalty on all base metals. Also as part of the transaction, WestMountain will complete its vesting requirements with International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. with a payment of $150,000 in cash and 250,000 shares of West Mountain common stock.

“The Terra Project is WestMountain’s flagship asset, so we are extremely pleased with this agreement to acquire full ownership over the next 14 months,” said Greg Schifrin, President and CEO. “Our drilling program at Terra has returned increasingly positive results and we’re optimistic about prospects for steadily increasing our resource base through continued drilling activities. At the same time, we expect to steadily increase gold and silver production at our pilot gold mill.”

Schifrin noted two additional positive aspects of the pending transaction, which supersedes a prior earn-in agreement between WestMountain and Corvus. “Our previous agreement called for Corvus to receive 49% of production during the earn-in period and up to a 5% royalty thereafter,” he said. “Our new agreement eliminates the 49% production payout and reduces the royalty to a maximum of 3% -- a solid value proposition for our stockholders given our belief that the project is expected to yield greater than 1,000,000 ounces of gold over the life of the mine.”
