According to Phoenix's NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Greenwood Precious Metals Project (P&E Mining Consultants Inc., Report No. 490), Phoenix's 2026 recommended exploration program totals 148 drill holes and 55,285 metres across seven targets within the Greenwood Precious Metals Project. Of this, 27,827 metres across 67 drill holes are planned along the JD-Golden Crown Trend, JD Deep, and Golden Crown Deep targets — directly adjacent to the boundary of Belmont's A-J Gold property near the historic Golden Crown underground mine (Section 26.1.4) — and 3,835 metres across 12 drill holes are planned at the Lexington target along the No. 7 Fault trend (Section 26.1.6), which lies in British Columbia immediately north of the international border, directly across from Belmont's Lone Star property on the Washington State side. Phoenix closed its initial public offering on July 9, 2026, and on July 24, 2026 announced partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option, bringing aggregate gross proceeds from the offering to $46,402,625.

"We're pleased to see a well-capitalized neighbour committing this level of exploration investment along strike from two of our properties in the Greenwood camp," said George Sookochoff, Chairman of Belmont. "Both the Golden Crown trend adjacent to our A-J property and the No. 7 Fault trend adjacent to our Lone Star property have a history of high-grade production, and we look forward to Phoenix's exploration results as they become available."

Belmont's A-J Gold property hosts two past-producing gold mines (the Athelstan and Jackpot), with historical production of 7,600 oz gold and 9,000 oz silver, and lies within the same Greenwood camp as Belmont's Pride of the West and CBC Copper-Gold properties. Belmont's Lone Star property, held in joint venture with Marquee Resources Ltd., hosts a historical mineral resource along the Washington State portion of the No. 7 Fault system.
