Belmont Acquires Four Groups of Quebec Claims in World Class Deposits Area

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 5, 2012) - Belmont Resources Inc. ("Belmont", the "Company" or "BEA") (TSX VENTURE:BEA)(PINKSHEETS:BEAAF)(FRANKFURT:L3L) has entered into a property option agreement to acquire four groups (51) mineral claims, representing 2,254.27 hectares located in the Berthiaume, Orvilliers and Joutel Townships, all located within the Abitibi Harricana-Turgeon volcanic greenstone belt of Northwestern, Quebec. This belt hosts several world class deposits that have produced both gold and base metals.

The Joutel block (15 claims) is just northeast of major past producers including the Agnico-Eagle gold mine (6.1 Mt @ 6.57 g/t gold) and two base metal mines, the Poirier Mine (4.8 Mt @ 1.97% Cu, 0.6% Zn, 4.57 g/t Ag) and Joutel Copper (1.5 Mt @ 2.4% Cu, 2.9% Zn, 17.15 g/t Ag).

The Orvilliers block (5 claims) is midway between the Selbaie Mine (41 Mt @ 1% Cu, 2% Zn, 0.65 g/t Au, 43 g/t Ag) and the Estrades base metal-gold deposit (1.0 Mt @ 0.94% Cu, 10.7% Zn, 182 g/t Ag, 5.5 g/t Au), and northeast of the Casa-Berardi gold mine (+ 9.2 Mt @ 5.8 g/t gold).

The other two claim groups (8 and 23 claims), located in Berthiaume Township, cover a massive sulphides occurence that provided both zinc and copper anomalies from a previous drilling program.

All of these properties were selected on the basis of interpreted favorable structures and lithologies. The fifteen claims block in Joutel is currently under registration at the ministry and the validity period appearing into the agreement will be amended as soon as the ministry will communicate its confirmation.

Terms of the acquisition are:

- $25,000 upon execution of the agreement;

- 250,000 common shares and an additional $25,000 within ten days of regulatory approval;

- a further 250,000 common shares and an additional $50,000 within one year;

- a further 500,000 common shares and an additional $50,000 within two years;

- a 2% NSR with the right to purchase 1/2 of 1% for the sum of $1 million prior to bankable feasibility

The Company has commissioned an NI 43-101 geological report on the properties, with recommendations for the first phase exploration program. The technical portion of this release has been reviewed and approved by Alain Tremblay, geol. eng., an independent qualified person as defined under NI 43-101.
