Belmont is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Ian Graham to its Advisory Board.

 

Mr. Graham is an accomplished mining executive with over 20 years of international experience exploring for and developing mineral deposits. He has spent over half of his career working for major mining companies, including roles at Rio Tinto and Anglo American. Mr. Graham possesses industrial minerals experience and is well known for his successes within the diamond sector.

Mr. Graham also served as CEO from November 2015- February 2017,  for United Energy Corp. (a Nevada lithium project).

On March 30, 2016; the Company acquired sixteen placer (16) mining claims, representing 1036 hectares (2,560 acres) in Esmeralda County, Nevada, U.S.A.  The Kibby Basin property is located 65 km north of Clayton Valley, Nevada-U.S.A.  The Company believes the property to be highly prospective to host lithium.  Subsequent ground geophysics & gravity surveys, surface sampling and a two hole- 2046 ft. diamond drill program have confirmed the presence of lithium on Kibby.
