VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 21, 2019 / Belmont Resources Inc (TSXV:BEA) ("Belmont"), (or the "Company") is pleased to announce the acquisition of 100% interest in the Pride of the West Crown Granted Claim and the Great Bear Reverted Crown Grant (the "Claims") containing approx. 45 hectares in the historic Greenwood Gold Camp in southern British Columbia.
The properties are located six kilometer west of the city of Greenwood, B.C. and nine kilometers north-west from the city of Grand Forks, B.C. The properties have year-round access, are easily accessible from the nearby Highway #3 and a powerline crosses the claims.
The Claims are situated 1 km south-east of the historic Phoenix Open Pit Mine which produced over 1 million ounces of Gold and 500 million pounds of Copper up to 1978 (historical results) and 500 meters north-west of the Golden Crown Mine which contains a NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 163,000 tonnes containing 62,500 of gold equivalent ounces and an inferred resource of 42,000 tonnes containing 13,100 of gold equivalent ounces (source: GOM website).
A total of 2,488 tonnes grading 15.4 g/t Au and 1.5% Cu were reportedly mined from the Golden Crown Vein during the early part of the 1900's, although the extent of workings and dumps suggest more (BC Minfile). Production came from a steep south dipping vein averaging 1.5 m in thickness, via three stopes on the 100-foot level within 55 m of the shaft.
The Great Bear and Pride of the West properties run parallel to a corridor of west northwest trending sub parallel and closely spaced, steeply dipping massive sulfide and quartz-sulfide veins occurring in the southeastern part of the adjacent Golden Crown property as part of a 4 km long gold/copper system defined by drill hole intercepts, trenches, gold soil geochemical anomalies and geophysical ("VLF") anomalies. The Glenora claims lie directly South East of the gold/copper system.
Golden Dawn Minerals reported in a December 4, 2017 news release results from surface diamond drilling at its Golden Crown property. Drill hole GC17-02 intercepted 12.3 meters (9.24-21.58 m), 3.53 g/t Au, 0.11% Cu, Including: 4.6 meters (17.0-21.58 m), 7.60 g/t Au, 0.13% Cu.
Drill hole GC17-05 intercepted 6.95 meters (14.65-21.60m), 6.77 g/t Au, 1.18% Cu, Including:
2.69 meters (18.13-20.82m), 16.48 g/t Au, 1.96% Cu.
Belmont plans to compile additional data on the ‘Black Bear' reverted crown grant; and the ‘Pride of the West' crown grant as well as the Glenora claims in order to plan the best possible exploration program to further enhance the properties.
Terms of the Acquisition Agreements:
The Claims have been acquired from two non-related third parties (the "Vendors") under the following terms:
- 100,000 common shares (the "Shares") to each Vendor upon TSX Venture Exchange approval. The Shares will be subject to a 4 month+1 day hold period from the issuance date;
