BELMONT UPDATES ON DISPUTE WITH THE SLOVAK REPUBLIC

Vancouver, B.C. Canada, 	May 23, 2014 - Belmont Resources Inc. ("Belmont", the "Company" or "TSX.V: BEA") Further to o
--->ur news release of November 20, 2013 the Company announces the following update.

In December 2013, Belmont and EuroGas Inc. ("EuroGas") delivered the Slovak Republic a ‘Notice of Dispute' under
---> the US-Slovak Republic and the Canada-Slovak Republic bilateral investment treaties.  This notice was sent in relatio
--->n to the companies' investments in the Slovak incorporated company Rozmin s.r.o. -of which Belmont and EuroGas hold a 
--->90% shareholding - and the Gemerska Poloma talc deposit in the Slovak Republic.  In 1998, exclusive rights for mining 
--->activities at the Gemerska Poloma talc deposit had been awarded to Rozmin.  These rights were, however, revoked in Jan
--->uary 2005.  By decisions dated February 27, 2008 and May 18, 2011, the Supreme Court of the Slovak Republic confirmed 
--->that the revocation of Rozmin's mining rights were in breach of Slovak procedural and substantive laws.  Currently, Be
--->lmont and EuroGas wish to seek compensation under international law against the Slovak Republic.  Under the applicable
---> treaties, the Notice of Dispute sent in December 2013 is to be followed, when appropriate, by a six-month "cooling of
--->f period", to allow a possible amicable settlement.  Negotiations with the Slovak Republic are underway.  Failing an a
--->micable settlement by June 24, 2014, a Request for Arbitration on behalf of Belmont and EuroGas, will be filed with th
--->e International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes under the auspices of the World Bank.
