Belmont Resources Ltd. announced that diamond drilling has now commenced at its 100% owned A-J gold project situated in the prolific Greenwood mining camp of southern British Columbia. The planned initial program will be a minimum 2,000m in up to 10 drill holes. The A-J gold property hosts the former producing Athelstan and Jackpot mines which produced 7,000 ounces of gold and 9,000 ounces of silver (Minfile 082ESE047).

The program is designed to test a multi-coincident geophysical anomaly located within the North Zone of the property. The Jackpot fault directly intersects this anomalous zone potentially providing a conduit for the hydrothermal fluids and subsequent precipitation of gold mineralization. This target is on strike with a south east trending 1km gold trend on the adjacent Golden Crown property.

This gold trend hosts the Golden Crown mine which has a 2016 NI43-101 Indicated Resource of 163,000 tonnes @11.09 g/t Au.1. 4 Drill Holes Completed. Four drill holes, AJ23-01-04, have been completed to date. The drill core is currently being logged and samples are being prepped for delivery to ALS laboratories in Kamloops B.C.
