BELMONT COMPLETES 1ST PHASE DRILLING
AND ARRANGES $200,000 FINANCING
Vancouver, B.C. Canada, May 29, 2017 – Belmont Resources Inc. (TSX.V: BEA; FSE: L3L1; DTC Eligible –
CUSIP 080499403 ); (“Belmont”, or the “Company).
Kibby Basin –1st Phase Drilling completed with additional depth in Hole #2 drilled
Further to our news release of May 9 , 2017 the Company is pleased to report that Harris Exploration Drilling &
Associates (“Harris Drilling”) completed the 1st Phase HQ (3.875”) core drilling program commencing Hole #1 on
April 23, 2017. Hole KB-1c was drilled to a depth of 548 feet on the eastern basin-bounding fault, and Hole KB-2c
was drilled to a depth of 1498 feet in the playa, about 5000 feet southwest of Hole KB-1c.
Hole KB-1c targeted the approximate location of the basin-bounding fault as defined by a gravit y survey, and was
drilled east of the playa (dry lake bed) . The hole encountered unconsolidated alluvial sand and gravel deposits with
minor occurences of silt, clay, and water courses.
Hole KB#2 , was advanced in the playa area and encountered fine-grained clay -rich sediments : silts and muds
punctuated by thin gravel intervals and some thicker fine -grained sand zones typical of playa lake sediments. Layers
containing ground water were encountered at numerous depths . , Core has been logged, photographed, and sampled
at Belmont’s field office facility in Mina - NV. Samples of clay -rich core intervals were transported to ALS Labs in
Sparks, NV for analysis. Results of a ssays are expected by mid -June. Hydro sleeve samples of formation water
were collected from the bottoms of both drill holes, where brine is likely to collect, and were also delivered to ALS
for lithium analysis and testing of physical parameters. Core samp le assay results will determine whether the
sediments could be a potential source of lithium for the underlying aquifers.
Existing reports describing the geological history of the area and analysis of surrounding bedrock, volcanic ash, and
surface sediment testing have indicated a potential for lithium in the basin.
Belmont’s next stage of evaluation will consist of studying the assay and water test results to confirm the presence
of Lithium , carrying out geophysical surveys ( Electromagnetic Resistivity survey -‘EM’ and possibly seismic
surveys) of the property, which should generate higher aquifer probability targets for further drilling.
