Marketwired Canada
Belmont Resources (TSX VENTURE:BEA)(PINK SHEETS:BEAAF)(FRANKFURT:L3L) is pleased
to report the results of the last 5 holes of their 2010-11 fall-winter drilling
program on its 100% owned Lumby-Bufo property northeast of Atikokan and adjacent
to Osisko's Hammond Reef Gold project.
Belmont previously reported the results of the first three holes (BB-10-6, 7 &
8) drilled at the north end of Bufo Lake where the three holes intersected
anomalous values of gold, silver, copper and zinc contained within an east-west
striking mineralized sulphide and quartz-ankerite bearing vein system associated
with altered interbedded tuff, massive and pillowed mafic volcanic rocks. The
holes confirmed the westerly and easterly extension of the gold mineralized
horizons intersected by previous exploration in this area and further eastward
under Lumby Lake.
Holes BB-10-09 and BB-10-10 were drilled to test the down-dip and strike
extension of the south east-west gold and silver mineralization encountered in
holes BB-10-01 to BB-10-05 drilled last spring in the southwestern portion of
Bufo Lake. Hole BB-10-09 was collared 50 meters north of BB-10-02 to test the
down-dip extension of gold mineralization encountered in Hole BB-10-02. Hole
BB-10-10 collared 100 meters west of BB-10-03 tested the westerly extension of
the gold mineralization encountered in hole BB-10-3. Hole BB-10-04 drilled last
spring is located 200 meters west of hole BB-10-10. Further reconnaissance
geological observations around the south end of Bufo Lake revealed several other
untested parallel Fe-carbonate shear zones.
The following are highlights of the values intersected in Holes BB-10-09 and
BB-10-10.
Hole BB-10-09
Hole BB-10-09 was drilled south on L 5+00E, 10+00N (Bufo Lake Grid) at a dip of
-45 degrees to a depth 300 meters intersecting 3 gold bearing sulphide zones as
shown in Table-1 below:

The next two holes were drilled near the east end of Lumby Lake, 50 meters north
of the high grade silver-base metal discovery zone and north of Herontrack Lake.
Holes BB-10-11 and BB-10-12 tested depth and strike extensions of the high grade
silver-base metal discovery showing. Both holes intersected widespread
sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization containing
significant silver and base metal (Zn, Pb, and Cu) values. Hole BB-10-11 also
intersected chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization in gabbro containing up
to 2.2 g/t Ag, 817 ppm Cu and 602 ppm Ni over 0.8 meters. Table 3 shows the
highlights of the 130 meter wide mineralized zone intersected in Hole BB-10-11.
This Cu-Ni zone of mineralization may be the down-dip extension of a
copper-nickel-silver-zinc and PGM surface showing, previously discovered along
the road south of Lumby Creek.
Hole BB-10-11
Hole BB-10-11 collared at L29+00E, 24+50N and drilled at a dip of - 45 degrees
grid south to a depth of 336 meters. A 130 meter wide zone of mineralization was
intersected with values ranging from 5 ppb up to 67 ppb gold, up to 76.5 g/t
silver, up to 0.3 % copper, 1.09 % zinc, 0.3% lead and 602 ppm nickel. The
silver and gold values show strong association with the sphalerite-galena and
chalcopyrite mineralization within a zinc upper capping zone and with the lower
copper footwall alteration zone. The gold shows higher values with the copper
mineralization.
A richer narrower section of 21.4 meters from 64.6m to 86.0m assayed 8.76 g/t
silver and 0.21% zinc. Table -3, listed below shows the highlights of this 130
meter wide mineralized section. The style of mineralization encountered is
similar to volcaniclastic VMS style deposits, with an upper silver-lead-zinc
rich capping zone and a copper-zinc-silver rich lower footwall zone. The
mineralization intersected within these 2 holes are similar in width and to the
silver-zinc-lead-copper mineralization intersected in holes L-98-1 to L-98-5 and
L-00-6 drilled by Atikokan Resources and located 200 and 300 meters west and on
strike with holes BB-10-11 and BB-10-12. The 300 to 500 meter thick
volcaniclastic rock sequence containing the silver- base metal mineralization is
traceable from surface trenching and the geophysical survey from the west end of
Lumby Lake and eastward to Hutt Lake, a distance of over 6 kilometers.

mineralization.

Hole BB-10-13
Previous ground Gradient I.P. & Max Min, the 1980-OGS and 2009-OGS and the 1979
-Aerodat airborne electromagnetic surveys identified strong geophysical
magnetic, electromagnetic and chargeability anomalies north of Herontrack Lake.
The last hole, BB-10-13, was collared on L38+00E, 36+00N, drilled grid south at
-45 degrees to a depth of 434.8 meters to test this geophysical trend.
Hole BB-10-13 intersected continuous disseminated, stringer, semi-massive and
massive style mineralization consisting mainly of chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite,
sphalerite and pyrite. This mineralization is contained within mainly altered
massive and pillowed flows and interbedded mafic tuffs and is consistent with a
copper-zinc VMS Type deposit with gold and silver by-products.
The dominant pyrrhotite mineralization is probably the cause of the wide
dominant, east-west I.P. chargeability anomaly trend. The chargeability anomaly
is traceable 500 meters west and 2 kilometers east of Hole BB-10-13 and is open
further west and east beyond the surveyed area. Table - 5 below shows some of
the higher grade sections of the hole.

Belmont's two drilling campaigns have confirmed that the VMS style silver-base
metal mineralization intersected in the Lumby Lake area is very similar and
probably deposited during the same period as the silver and minor base metal
mineralization intersected in the drill holes at Bufo Lake. The gold
mineralization in both areas appears to be a separate mineralizing event
associated with the regional structural event and is similar to the gold
mineralization occurring on Osisko's Hammond Reef property to the south.
However, the gold mineralization on the property is contained within east-west
structures contained along the east-west contact shear zone between the Lumby
Greenstone volcanics and Marmion batholith intrusion. The centre of the
silver-base metal venting system appears to be centrally located around Lumby,
Herontrack and Spoon Lake. The rocks in this area show two (2) types of VMS
style deposits.
1 - A volcaniclastic dominant system located under the above named lakes
2 - A mafic volcanic flow dominant (massive and pillowed flow) style deposit.
Super imposed over the above are gold bearing shear and vein hosted gold
mineralization.
The Aerodat 1987 airborne survey covering the eastern 2/3 portion of the
property has identified numerous other conductors coincident with known sulphide
mineralization. A VLF- EM over Lumby, Herontrack and Spoon Lake has identified
conductors under all three lakes. The conductors are probably caused by the
pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization intersected in the drilling under
these lakes by Belmont Resources Inc and Atikokan Resources Inc. Aerodat's 1987
airborne survey over this area identified the same conductors in addition with
others on the property. These geophysical electromagnetic anomalies leave many
un-drilled targets on the property with both gold and base metal potential.
The alteration pattern in each area is consistent with VMS type deposits and
with structurally emplaced gold mineralization within the same system.
This press release has been reviewed and approved by Raymond A. Bernatchez,
P.Eng., Consulting Geologist and a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101.
