Release Date: March 17, 2008 Phase Separation Solutions Inc. (“PS2”), a wholly owned subsidiary of West Mountain Capital Corp. (TSX-V: WMT),(the “Corporation” or “West Mountain”) has entered into a Share Purchase Agreement to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of 1095269 Ontario Ltd., operating as Pharma Processing (“Pharma Processing”), based in Brampton, Ontario.

It will also allow us to create more efficiency by reducing costs associated with our transportation system through better waste consolidation and preparation, and by reducing the volume of non-hazardous waste being sent to our world-class thermal treatment facility in Wolseley, Saskatchewan”, said Paul Antle, PS2’s President and CEO. “This is a very strategic acquisition for our company and is fully in line with the objectives stated in our business plan.”

This will enable us to expand our customer reach in conjunction with the activities of PS2 which provides us with new treatment capabilities, industry experience and entrepreneurial management. We are excited about the future and our competitive position in the marketplace.”
The transaction is expected to close by May 31, 2008. During the interim period PS2 will operate and manage the assets and business of Pharma Processing pursuant to an Asset Rental Agreement.
