BELMONT RESOURCES COMPLETES OVER 2,000 METERS OF DIAMOND DRILLING AT 100%-OWNED COME BY CHANCE PROPERTY IN SOUTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Belmont Resources Inc.
has completed its 2025 diamond drilling campaign, totalling over 2,000 metres, at the company's 100-per-cent-owned
Come By Chance
project, located in the historic and mineral-rich Greenwood mining camp in Southern British Columbia.
A dual-potential target: porphyry-copper and carbonate replacement deposit system
The CBC property exhibits compelling geological features indicative of both a copper-gold porphyry system and a high-grade carbonate replacement deposit, situated within the highly prospective Quesnel terrane.
Key geological highlights
Porphyry indicators:
-
2022 drilling confirmed widespread porphyry-style alteration, veining and mineralization;
-
Strong propylitic alteration halos present in all 2022 drill holes -- a classic porphyry signature;
-
Up to 20 per cent pyrite mineralization observed, potentially forming halos around a concealed porphyry core;
-
Geophysical surveys reveal zonation patterns consistent with a porphyry centre.
CRD-skarn potential:
-
Limestone units of the Brooklyn formation provide ideal host rocks for CRD-style mineralization.
-
Monzonite and syenite intrusions represent potential sources of metal-rich hydrothermal fluids.
-
Major structural corridors (Eagle and Lind Creek faults) likely acted as fluid conduits.
-
High-grade surface samples include values up to 17.05 grams per tonne gold and 6.74 per cent copper.
-
Two thousand twenty-two drilling identified skarn-style alteration consistent with CRD systems.
2025 drilling campaign overview
The 2025 program was designed to follow up on promising 2022 results and geophysical data that vector toward a possible mineralized centre at depth. Five key target areas were selected based on integrated geological and geophysical modelling, with one diamond drill hole testing each target
All holes were completed on schedule and within budget.
Next steps
Belmont's geological team is currently logging and processing core samples. Assay samples will be shipped to MSALabs in Langley, B.C., by the end of this week. Results are expected within approximately eight weeks.
"We are encouraged by the geological features observed during this latest round of drilling," said George Sookochoff, president and chief executive officer of Belmont Resources. "The integration of our 2022 and 2025 programs continues to support the presence of a robust porphyry-CRD system at Come By Chance. We look forward to sharing assay results as they become available."
