Belmont Resources Prepares 2020 Exploration Program on Come By Chance Property

About the Come By Chance (CBC) Property

Belmont acquired the CBC property in May, 2020. The acquisition is part of the Company's continued focus to acquire and develop strategic gold properties in the prolific Phoenix mining camp of Southern British Columbia.

The CBC property is comprised of 21 mineral claims as well as 15 reverted crown granted mineral claims covering an area of approximately 527 hectares (ha). The property lies directly south east of the Athelstan-Jackpot (A-J) property which was acquired by Belmont in May 2020 (NR May 23, 2020).

The properties lay either side of Highway #3 with a powerline running through both properties.

Both the A-J and CBC properties are situated on a south-east mineralized trend extending from the past producing Phoenix mine 3 kms to the north-west. Belmont's Black Bear and Pride of the West claims (acquired Nov. 2019) lie on this mineralized trend as well.

CBC Conceptual Model

The Come By Chance Property has many surficial geological features which are indicative of a copper-gold porphyry system originating from a potential concealed intrusive.

These features, primarily associated with two major breccia-bearing fault systems, the Lind Creek Fault and the Eagle Creek Fault, include reported copper/silver/gold bearing skarn zones, gold bearing massive sulphide veins, and gold bearing epithermal quartz veining, all of which are associated with a porphyritic intrusive in a conceptual model of mineral zones in a volcanic environment. The reported presence of a well mineralized copper-bearing monzonite may substantiate the basis for these mineral zones of the copper/gold porphyry system.

2020 Exploration Program

Airborne Imagery Survey

A property wide low level, high-resolution imagery airborne survey is being planned for July. The survey will provide very-fine resolution geo-referenced elevation and photographic data that will be very useful for accurately locating and detail mapping old shafts, mine dumps, showings and rock exposures over the entire property. The elevation data will be used to create an accurate 3 Dimensional Digital Terrane Model (3D-DTM) of the entire property. The hi-res image mapping will be overlaid onto the 3D-DTM and will provide an important base map for all future exploration data.

IP Survey

The Company is making preparations for a "Deep Penetration" IP survey consisting of two 400m spaced IP lines crossing the entire property. The IP lines will cover the two major breccia-bearing fault systems, the Lind Creek Fault and the Eagle Creek Fault and the well mineralized copper-bearing monzonite. The Deep Penetration IP survey will help substantiate the possible presence of a porphyry system originating from a potential concealed intrusive model.

Field Program

The CBC property has not been systematically explored. The majority of the early work was at the Betts showing (Minfile 082ESE261), in the southern part of the CBC property. The Minister of Mines Annual Report for 1904 and 1905 documents some 208 feet of open cuts and shallow shafts at the Betts, as well as a 75 foot long (upper) tunnel with a 40 foot winze and an 825 foot (lower) tunnel. This lower tunnel was driven to cut the mineralized zone 375 feet below surface. A chute of massive pyrrhotite ore was reportedly intersected at a distance of 575 feet in the lower tunnel.

With numerous historical workings consisting of pits and adits throughout the property, the Company is preparing a field program to sample material from these locations to determine whether they are skarn, massive sulphide veins or epithermal quartz veining in nature. This geological categorization will help in determining the nature and scope of the potential porphyry system lying beneath.

George Sookochoff, President & CEO commented "Early indications are that the Come By Chance property provides a huge potential for a large mineralized porphyry system containing a broad spectrum of mineralization types including copper/silver/gold bearing skarn zones, gold bearing massive sulphide veins, and gold bearing epithermal quartz veining. Our 2020 exploration program is designed to acquire further evidence to substantiate the presence of this system."
