MONTORO JOINT VENTURES BELMONT PROSPECT IN RED LAKE CAMP

Montoro Resources Inc. (“MNQ”) previously announced the acquisition of a gold prospect in the Bateman/Shaver Townships, Red Lake area. Belmont Resources Inc. (“BEO”) also announced an acquisition in the Bateman Township, south of Montoro’s prospect.

The companies have entered in an agreement to joint venture the exploration programs on these prospects and will therefore assign a 50% interest in each other’s option. Both properties are adjacent to Rubicon-Anglo Gold joint venture properties. Rubicon is advancing its key projects with important new discoveries and has attracted Anglo Gold, the world’s largest gold producer, as a partner in its Red Lake projects.

Montoro is a Canadian exploration company with projects in Bathurst, New Brunswick (Malachite – cobalt/copper prospect); northern Quebec – Ungava Raglan Camp (Gamache and South Trend property joint ventures with Canadian Royalties Inc. – nickel/copper/PGM prospects); and northwestern Ontario (Red Lake – gold prospect).
