About Belmont
Belmont has assembled a portfolio of highly prospective copper, gold, lithium, uranium and rare earths projects located in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Washington and Nevada States.
Flagship projects:
1. Come By Chance (CBC) Copper-Gold Porphyry Target - British Columbia:
Drilling Planned Q2-2025 - view image at: https://bit.ly/CBC2025DrillPlan
• Compelling Porphyry target Identified: Exploration results are vectoring toward a large, untested coincident magnetic, chargeability, resistivity geophysical anomaly. This multi-coincidence anomaly is considered one of the most promising targets for a vertically extensive porphyry center.
• 2022 Phase I drilling identified the Propylitic outer perimeter of the potential porphyry system.
• Q2-2025 Phase 2 drilling scheduled to test this high-priority potential mineralized porphyry core.
2. Athelstan-Jackpot (A-J) Gold - British Columbia:
Drilling Planned Q3-2025 - view image at: https://bit.ly/AJ_2025_Drill_Plan
• A-J Gold Project, which includes two past producing gold mines-Athelstan and Jackpot-that yielded 7,600 ounces of gold and 9,000 ounces of silver (Minfile 082ESE047). Key highlights of the project include:
• Extensive Surface Gold Mineralization: A 1,500-meter gold trend with widespread surface gold mineralization has been identified.
• Potential Resource Estimate: Previous trenching and sampling suggest a potential resource of 2,000 to 5,000 ounces of gold in surface and near-surface mineralized areas (2002 Summary Report by R.E. Miller, P.Geo).
• Exploration Focus: Belmont is investigating the potential for economic gold grades in mineable surface and near-surface ore zones along this trend.
• Upcoming Drilling Program: In Q3 2025, drilling will target south-west trending linear high-resistivity zones identified as potential feeders originating from Jackpot fault. Jackpot fault may be providing conduit for mineralized hydrothermal mineralized solutions to surface.
3. Crackingstone Uranium -Located in Saskatchewan's uranium-rich Athabasca Basin.

• Exceptional High-Grade Uranium Potential: The property has demonstrated historic grab sample grades of up to 15.6% U?O?. Previous mining on the site produced 11 tons at an average grade of 2.3% U?O?.
(A Qualifying 43-101 Report On the Crackingstone River-Ruza Property Beaverlodge District SE of Uranium City Saskatchewan for Belmont Resources Inc. By R.A. Bernatchez, P. Eng. Consulting Geologist, July 11, 2006)
• Extensive Mineralized Corridors: Three major conductive and structural mineralized corridors, totaling 10 kilometers in length, have been identified and are associated with high-grade uranium occurrences.
• Comprehensive Drilling Program: Belmont has submitted a permit application for a two-year drilling initiative, which includes 40 drill holes totaling 10,000 meters. This program reflects the company's confidence in the property's potential to host significant uranium resources.
Situated just six kilometers from Uranium City, the Crackingstone property benefits from excellent infrastructure, including road access, power availability, and logistical support. Belmont's exploration efforts also include evaluating rare earth element (REE) potential on the property, further enhancing its strategic importance.
Optioned out projects:
4. Lone Star Copper-Gold - Washington State: 50% optioned to Australian Marquee Resources ASX:MQR; MQR has spent $2.5M in drilling, completed new resource in Dec. 2022 and a PEA in November 2023. (BEA NR Nov. 29, 2023)
5. Kibby Basin Lithium - Nevada State: 80% optioned to Australian Marquee Resources ASX: MQR; project located 60 kilometers north of the lithium rich Clayton Valley Basin. MQR has spent $2.5M in drilling in 2022 for potential deep seated lithium brine. 2022 Drilling confirmed high levels of lithium-bearing sediments along with dissolved lithium in the groundwater. (BEA NR Dec 8, 2022).
