BELMONT & INT. MONTORO REVIEWS THE URANIUM POTENTIAL OF THEIR 12,091 ha.
URANIUM CITY, SASK. CLAIMS
Vancouver, B.C. Canada , January 30, 2017 – Belmont Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BEA; FSE: L3L1; (“Belmont”,
or the “Company).
As a result of recent inquiries and interest in uranium worldwide, the Company and its 50/50 partner – International
Montoro Resources Inc. (TSX.V: IMT), are reviewing potential joint venture/option avenues. During the period
2006 – 2011 Belmont & Monto ro incurred $1.97 million in property acquisition and development costs on its
12,091 ha Uranium City, Saskatchewan claims.
Uranium Industry Overview
MINING.com expects “the period from 2017 -2020 to be a landmark period for the nuclear sector and uranium
stocks, as the global operating nuclear reactor fleet expands.” First and foremost, the world is building more nuclear
reactors right now than ever before.
Uranium analyst David Talbot of Dundee Capital Markets was forecasting 6 percent compound annual demand
growth through 2020, which is enough, he says, to “kick -start” uranium prices up to and beyond 2007 levels. Up to
20% of the uranium supply needed to op erate the world’s existing nuclear reactors for the rest of this year and next
is not covered. Morningstar analyst David Wang predicted prices will double within the next two years.
World Nuclear Association (“WNA”) – The WNA reports that there are 440 n uclear reactors operable in 30
countries as of March 1, 2016. A total of 65 nuclear reactors are under construction in 14 countries with the
principal drivers of this expansion being China (24), Russia (8), India (6), the United States (5), South Korea (3 ) and
UAE (4). Based on the most recent statistics from the WNA, there are a total of 238 reactors that are either under
construction, or planned around the world, and an additional 337 reactors that are proposed, with the potential to be
operating by 2030.

Review of BEA/IMT Uranium City, Sask. claims (as previously filed on SEDAR and our websites):
Crackingstone claims - 982 ha
February 2007 – Completed 87 km line -cutting program consisting of establishing grid lines and a Mag/VLF -EM
ground geophysical survey over 750 ha.
August-October 2007 – Channel (278) and grab (12) sampling program with samples assaying over 0.59% U3O 8
and a radon gas survey. Radon gas survey covered approx. 4.65 km at 50 meter sample intervals (93 samples)
around the intersection point of the Crackingstone and Boom Lake faults.
October 2007 – MPX Geophysics Ltd. conducted 1,391 km of helicopter airborne magnetic and radiometric survey
-100 meter flight line spacing over Crackingstone & Orbit claims
July 2008 – Completion of a 20-hole diamond drill program totaling 3,075 meters , and confirmed the presence of
uranium mineralization for a strike distance of 1800 meters. Eight of the holes tested a 600 meter strike length long
conductor starting from the Beck 94 showing . Assays graded up to 0.37% U3O 8 (7.4 lbs./ton), included
intersections of 0.3 m assaying 2.087% U3O 8 (41.74 lbs./ton) including a 3.0 m intersection assaying 0.36% U3O 8
(7.19 lbs./ton); 10.6 m intersection including 0.4m intersection assaying 0.182% (3.64 lbs./ton) and many others.
Orbit claims – 11, 109 ha
April 2008 – Completed Aeroquest Airborne magnetic/electromagnetic survey. Consisted of 1,319 line km’s using
the Aerotem IV system. Confirmed 19 electromagnetic conductors of which 6 have significant strike length from 1
km to 3.5 km. Four of the conductors are coincident with significant radi oactive zones detected in the 2007 airborne
survey (see October 2007 above) and historical uranium showings.
September 2011 – Conducted a sampling program on three NE linear radiometric (U) anomalies which transected
the property from the southwest corner at Orbit Bay to the northeast corner of the claim group at Orbit Lake.
Results included numerous rare earth elements. Further results can be reviewed in the December 5, 2011 news
release and posted in Tables 1 -6 –titled ‘2011 Sampling Program’ on the Cra ckingstone/Orbit property pages on the
website.
