About Belmont Resources
Belmont Resources has assembled a portfolio of highly prospective copper, gold, lithium, uranium and rare earths projects located in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Washington and Nevada States.
Crackingstone Uranium -Located in Saskatchewan's uranium-rich Athabasca Basin. Key highlights of the project include:
• 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?.
• 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.
Come By Chance Copper-Gold Porphyry Target:
• Drill Permits Secured: Drilling to date has intersected the outer phyllic alteration zone of the porphyry system,
a key indicator of proximity to the porphyry core.
• Compelling Target Identified: Exploration results are vectoring toward a large, untested chargeability and
magnetic anomaly. This anomaly is considered one of the most promising targets for a vertically extensive
porphyry center.
• Phase 2 Drilling Scheduled: A second phase of drilling is planned for Q3 2025 to test this high-priority target.
The CBC project is situated in the Greenwood mining camp, an area known for its rich history of copper and gold production. This next phase of exploration aims to unlock the potential of a significant porphyry copper-gold system.
Athelstan-Jackpot Gold: Drill Permitted;
Athelstan-Jackpot (A-J) Gold Project, which includes two historically productive gold mines-Athelstan and Jackpot-that yielded 7,600 ounces of gold and 9,000 ounces of silver. Key highlights of the project include:
• Extensive Surface 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 Q2 2025, drilling will target high-resistivity zones identified as potential
feeders coincident with surface gold occurrences.
Lone Star Copper-Gold: 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.
Kibby Basin Lithium: 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.
