Belmont Resources Inc. has appointed George Sookochoff to the board of directors. Mr. Sookochoff has over 35 years of experience in the junior mining sector providing consulting services in the area of project development, data analysis, management and digital marketing. He holds a commerce degree (marketing-computer sciences) from the University of British Columbia.

He has served as a director for several junior mining companies and as past president and chief executive officer of International PBX Ventures Ltd., a TSX Venture Exchange company developing several copper porphyry and gold skarn projects in Chile. Mr. Sookochoff served recently as president of GGX Gold Corp. assisting in advancing and developing the significant high-grade Cod vein system along with numerous other vein systems on the GGX Gold Drop property in the Greenwood mining camp. Mr. Sookochoff also served as executive vice-president of Golden Dawn Minerals where one of his duties was data acquisition and analysis of exploration data in the Greenwood camp.

Mr. Sookochoff was born and raised in Grand Forks, B.C., and is quite familiar with the region and its rich mining history along with the importance that mining has played for the families of Grand Forks, Greenwood and area over the last 100 years.

Mr. Sookochoff commented, "Throughout my long career in the junior mining sector and having worked on numerous exploration projects around the world, it has always been my strong belief that the Greenwood mining camp, with its rich history in mining, still remains to be one of the best exploration areas in the world."

Jim Place, CEO/president, comments, "We are pleased to have George join our team and provide input in advancing and developing our Pathfinder gold project as well as assisting in search of other gold prospects in the historic camp."
