Belmont Responds to Lawsuit
Vancouver, April 6, 2023 - Belmont Resources Inc. ("Belmont"), (or the "Company"), (TSX.V:BEA) (FSE:L3L2) was notified, last Monday April 3, of a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia by Marquee Resources. The lawsuit relates mainly to Marquee's claim that Belmont has failed and refused to transfer an 80% interest in the Kibby Center lithium property in Nevada, USA to Marquee pursuant to an option agreement dated November 1, 2021.
The Company believes that the complaint against it is unfounded and without merit. Belmont is not commenting further at this time as these matters are before the courts.
