                            Westmount Energy Limited

                            Appointment of Director


Following the death of Westmount's Chairman Mr Derek G Williams on the 19th
January 2007, the Board is pleased to announce the appointment of Alan Levison
to the Board of Directors, and his appointment as Chairman of the Board. With
his appointment to the Board, Alan brings with him 30 years of experience in the
oil and gas industry. He holds an M.Sc. in Petroleum Geology from Imperial
College London and spent the majority of his career at Chevron Oil and British
Gas in senior management roles. In recent years, Alan has served on the Boards
of Fusion Oil & Gas Plc, Sterling Energy Plc and Eclipse Energy UK Plc, where
Westmount has held, and continues to hold in respect of the latter two
companies, significant equity interests.


Marc Yates, one of the existing Jersey based directors of Westmount said:-


'My fellow directors and I are very pleased to welcome Alan as a member of the
Board. Whilst we will miss our colleague Derek, we are fortunate in having Alan
accept the role in that not only does he have considerable experience in the
industry, but also he has an intimate knowledge in respect of Westmount's
holdings in Sterling Energy Plc and Eclipse Energy UK Plc, on whose Boards he
has served.'


Alan Levison in commenting on his recent appointment said:-


'To follow my late friend Derek Williams onto the Board of Westmount Energy is
an honour and a role to which I greatly look forward. Westmount has an
interesting portfolio of investments with significant unrecognised and future
potential, particularly the low carbon energy company, Eclipse Energy UK Plc
which has recently been granted consent to construct and operate the world's
first co-development of offshore gas and wind energy in the East Irish Sea. As
the Board of Westmount, we intend to undertake a detailed review of Westmount's
strategy in relation to both existing investments as well as other opportunities
which may exist or may arise to enhance the value per share for the benefit of
shareholders.'
