| BELMONT & MONTORO EXPLORATION
PROGRAMS COMMENCE ON ATHABASCA BASIN, SASKATCHEWAN –
URANIUM PROPERTY
Belmont Resources Inc. (“BEA”) and International
Montoro Resources Inc. (“IMT”) are pleased to
announce the completion of the first phase exploration program
on the Companies 750 hectare Crackingstone Uranium Project
located on the north shore of Lake Athabasca and 8 km. SW
of Uranium City, Saskatchewan. This exploration program commenced
in December 2006 and completed last week by Durama Enterprises
Limited of La Ronge, Sask. consisted of 87 km. of line cutting,
the establishment of grid lines and the initiation of a geophysical
survey along the lines, as well as 4 km. of boundary surveying.
The geophysical survey was also 87 km of Mag/VLF-EM. This
geophysical survey is the first time that a modern geophysical
approach has been carried out on this property. Both ground
and airborne geophysical surveys
have been used extensively in the search for structural features
which controls uranium mineralization. Interpretation of the
survey results will immediately follow and results will be
reported upon completion.
Historical uranium exploration on the property through trenching,
surface channeling and grab sampling, with numerous shallow
drill holes from a depth of 9 meters to 122 meters resulted
in obtaining uranium values from grab samples up to 12.53%
U3O8, drill core intersection of up to 15.6% U3O8, (# 7 Adit)
and two bulk samples (46 ton and 6.5 ton) assaying 0.5% uranium.
A sample (#336915), taken from the # 7 Adit during the 2006
property visit assayed 6.54% Uranium. Full information on
this project has been submitted as a NI 43-101 technical report
and is available for viewing on the Company website at www.belmontresources.com/skproperty.htm
or alternatively on SEDAR under the October 30,2006 technical
report filed at http://www.sedar.com/DisplayCompanyDocuments.do?lang=EN&issuerNo=00007648.
The Crackingstone Uranium Project is located 8 km. southwest
of the community of Uranium City via an all weather gravel
based road. The road branches off south-southeast at the 8
km mark and continues southeasterly to the Lorado, Cinch and
Box Mines. Past Uranium production came from four occurrences
in the region; the Cinch, Lorado, Rix Smitty and Leonard occurrences.
The Cinch and Rix Smitty mine produced a total of 1,869,000
pounds of U308. Uranium showings occur on the ground to the
north, east and south of the property and are held by private
parties and other public companies.
