Belmont Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:BEA)(PINK SHEETS:BEAAF)(FRANKFURT:L3L) (the
"Company") with Dorex Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:DOX) or ("Dorex") have
completed the first three holes totaling 942 meters of the proposed eight hole -
2,450 meter drilling program on the Lumby/Bufo Property (the "Property")
consisting of 23 contiguous claims (3,040 ha) located approximately 35 km
northeast of the town of Atikokan, Ontario.


The first drill target consisting of three holes is focused on testing an
800-meter long Max Min and VLF EM conductor under the north portion of Bufo Lake
located on the west part of the property.


Hole #1 (BB-10-6) was drilled to a depth of 269 meters. The drill hole exceeded
its objective of explaining the cause of the conductor and identified a wide
zone of silicified pillowed volcanic rocks containing abundant quartz and
quartz-calcite veining containing variable amounts of disseminated and seams of
sulphides. 41 samples have been delivered to Accurassay Labs in Thunder Bay for
analysis. We are analyzing for Au via fire assay + AA finish, Ag via AA, and 34
multi-elements.


Hole #2 (BB-10-7) was drilled to a depth of 376 meters, and encountered
continuous mineralization beyond the 100-meter depth in similar geology to
BB-10-6. 159 samples have been delivered to Accurassay Labs.


Hole #3 (BB-10-8) was drilled to a depth of 297 meters. The hole is still being
logged and sampled.


Assay results will be released from these holes, once they are compiled.

The Company is now moving the drill to the second target area (2 holes) in the
south part of Bufo Lake between the spring 2010 drilling of holes BB-10-01 and
-04. In preparation for the drill set up for Hole #4 (BB-10-9), the site
preparation work exposed a new iron (Fe) carbonate alteration zone (about 3+
meters wide). This new Fe carbonate zone appears to parallel others in the area
and suggests a potentially much wider gold system than previously known. A float
boulder previously located in the area contained gold bearing Fe carbonate
alteration, which assayed 2.33 oz/ton.


To earn an initial 49% interest in the Property, Dorex will complete $1,500,000
in exploration expenditures by December 31, 2011 of which $500,000 must be
incurred by February 28, 2011. Dorex may increase its interest to 60% by
incurring further exploration and payments to Belmont (see NR - November 15,
2010).


The Lumby/Bufo Property is contiguous with and on strike to the north-northeast
with the Hammond Reef deposit, where Osisko is presently focused on expanding
their gold resources. A preliminary assessment ("PA") study was completed on
Hammond Reef on November 12, 2009, resulting in a NI 43-101 compliant Inferred
Resource estimate of 6.7 million ounces of gold (259.4 million tonnes @ 0.8 g/t
gold, using a 0.3 g/t Au cutoff).


This press release has been reviewed and approved by Raymond A. Bernatchez,
P.Eng., Consulting Geologist and a qualified person as defined in NI 43-101.
