Belmont Enters into Property Option and Financing Agreement on Its Kibby Basin, Nevada Lithium Property with MGX Minerals; Drilling to Commence Shortly

Belmont Resources (TSXV:BEA) has entered into an Property Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MGX Minerals Inc. (“MGX), (CSE: XMG; FKT: 1MG; OTCQB: MGXMF) to acquire a initial 25% interest in the Kibby Basin, Nevada lithium property in return for exploration funding of up to $300,000 for drilling and testing the first deep hole in the anomaly (potential lithium brine deposit) indicated in the MT survey carried out in January, 2018 (See BEA news release dated March 1, 2018 & Quantec Geoscience Ltd. – Geophysical Report for Spartan MT Survey).

MGX Minerals is a diversified Canadian resource company with interests in advanced material and energy assets throughout North America.

The Agreement enables MGX to obtain an additional 25% (total = 50%) interest of the Kibby property, if initial drill results are favorable, by funding (up to $300,000) the drilling of a second deep test-hole into the anomaly.

Also included in the Agreement is the provision of $200,000 by MGX in the form of a non-brokered private placement for 4,000,000 units of Belmont (the “Units”) at a price of $0.05 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share of Belmont and one transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each whole warrant will permit the holder to acquire one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.08 in the first year and at $0.10 in the second year after closing.  The Common Shares and Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period and subject to the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”) approval.

Additionally MGX will be granted warrants to purchase up to 10 million shares of Belmont, at a price of $0.20 per share, exercisable for a period of three (3) years following Exchange approval of all filings required to be made in respect of this Agreement.

As part of the agreement MGX can become the operator for a Joint Venture with Belmont on further developments in the Kibby Basin which may include additional exploration drilling, test well operation, pilot plant installation and operating.  The Joint Venture will have access to the use of MGX’s and its associated rapid lithium extraction technology- part of their successful technological development business. The Joint Venture will also handle the marketing of lithium and other commodities produced on site during operations.

Belmont CEO, James Place states, “This agreement puts Belmont on secure footing with regard to funding the next stage of evaluation of the Kibby Property and, at the same time, enables us to get a significant “leg up” on lithium production by partnering with one of the leaders in extraction technology.”

The Company will pay a finder’s fee of up to 10% in cash on the private placement.  The Company has also agreed to pay a finder’s fee to R7 Capital Investments Ltd. of up to 5% in Belmont Units at a price of $0.07 per Unit relating to the exploration expenditures when funds are advanced.  Each Unit will consist of one common share of Belmont and one non-transferable share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).  Each whole warrant will permit the holder to acquire one additional share of the Company at a price of $0.10 for two years after closing.  The finder’s fees, Common Shares and Warrants are subject to a statutory hold period and Exchange approval.
