Belmont Signs LOI to Acquire the Lone Star Mine Property in the Republic Gold Camp, Washington State.

Belmont is acquiring the Lone Star Property through the acquisition of BGP Resources Ltd. which holds 100% interest in the Lone Star Property.

The Lone Star copper-gold property is situated in northern Washington State on the northeastern tip of the Republic Graben, an important geological feature which hosts several gold and copper mines.

The property is situated on a three kilometre long mineralized trend of gold-copper with past producing gold-copper mines and prospects, including No.7, City of Paris, Lincoln and the Lexington. This mineralized system is structurally controlled by the NW-SE No.7 fault.

The past producing Lone Star Mine operated over two time periods; from 1897-1918 producing 146,540 tonnes, and from 1977-1978 by Granby Mining Co. when 400,000 tonnes of ore were transported from the Lone Star open pit to its Phoenix mill in B.C, 11km to the north.

The Lone Star deposit has an historic resource estimate which was reported in a "Technical Report and Resource Estimate on the Lone Star Deposit, Ferry County Washington (September 23, 2007)" for Merit Mining Corp. and authored by P&E Mining Consultants Inc.

(1.5% CuEq Cut-Off Grade)
*Gold equivalent (AuEq) grade was calculated using US$593/oz gold and US$2.84/lb copper
1 ounce = 28.3495 grams; 1 gram = 0.035274 ounces

Terms of the Proposed Transaction:

In consideration and subject to Regulatory Approval, the Company will pay the Vendor:

a. 1,500,000 common shares of the Company as per schedule below.

i. Upon Venture Exchange ("Exchange") approval of agreement - 500,000 shares issued subject to 4 months+1 day hold period from issuance date.

ii. Upon first anniversary of agreement - additional 500,000 shares issued

iii. Upon second anniversary of agreement - additional 500,000 shares issued for a total of 1,500,000 shares.

b. An initial $25,000 Cdn cash payment upon the signing of a binding agreement

c. The Company shall have 60 days upon signing of this LOI to complete a binding agreement and make the initial $25,000 Cdn cash payment to the Vendor during which time the Company will conduct a proper legal due diligence and independent verification of the land title and tenures verifying the legality of any underlying agreement(s) that may exist concerning the licenses or other agreement(s) between any third party.

d. An additional $100,000 Cdn in cash upon completion of a major financing by the Company.

e. If a major financing is not completed and all monies paid to the Vendor and stock have been issued to the vender by the 12 months from the signing of said binding agreement, this will become null and void.

f. The title to the mineral rights will transfer when all payments are paid in full and all stock (1.5 million shares) is issued to the vendor.

Planned Work Program:

The Company will commence to:

1. Verify previous exploration data.
2. Bring the historic resource to current resource status utilizing today's metal prices and current 43-101 standards.
3. Prepare for an IP survey to delineate signatures of current mineralization and target potential areas of resource expansion both laterally and at depth.
4. Plan drill program to:
   a. test new targets for potential resource expansion delineated from IP survey
   b. Infill drill in areas of low data density which could potentially upgrade Inferred resources to Indicated.

NI 43-101 Disclosure:

Technical disclosure in this news release has been approved by Laurence Sookochoff, P.Eng., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.

(1) Mineral resources which are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, sociopolitical, marketing, or other relevant issues.

(2) The quantity and grade of reported inferred resources in this estimation are conceptual in nature.

(3) The mineral resources in this estimate were calculated using the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM), CIM Standards on Mineral Resources and Reserves, Definitions and Guidelines prepared by the CIM Standing Committee on Reserve Definitions and adopted by CIM Council December 11, 2005.

(4) Gold equivalent (AuEq) grade was calculated utilizing a gold price of US$593/oz and copper price of US$2.84/lb., based on the 24 month (at July 31, 2007) trailing average of gold and copper prices, to obtain a conversion factor of % copper x 3.284 + gold g/t = Au Eq g/t. Metallurgical recoveries and smelting/refining costs were not factored into the gold equivalent calculation.

(5) The Cu equivalent (CuEq) cut-off value of 1.5% was calculated and rounded utilizing the following: Cu price US$2.84/lb, $US exchange rate $0.88, process recovery $95%, smelter payable 95%, smelting and refining charges C$7/tonne mined, mining cost C$62/tonne mined, process cost $C28/tonne processed, G&A cost $7.50/tonne processed.

(6) A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. As such the issuer, Belmont Resources, is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves.
