FURTHER ADDITIONS TO THE RED LAKE CLAIMS ACQUIRED

Montoro Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MNQ) and Belmont Resources Inc. (TSX-V: BEO) have signed further agreements to acquire 100% interest in two additional claim blocks (14 units) in the Red Lake Mining Camp. - Bateman Township adjacent to the northeast claims acquired earlier this year.

These claims comprise approx. 224 hectares and are adjacent to the 16 unit claim block which Belmont/Montoro acquired in April/03. Immediately north/west to these claim blocks are Rubicon/Anglo Gold joint venture properties and to the northeast is the Black Bear Property of MetalCORP Limited. MetalCORP recently announced the signing of a letter of intent with Goldcorp whereby Goldcorp will earn an interest in the Black Bear Property by spending in excess of $3 million in exploration (see our October 17/03 News Release for further details).

Terms of the Montoro/Belmont Option Agreements are $10,000 cash ($5,000 each from Montoro & Belmont), 50,000 treasury common shares each as well as an initial $5,000 exploration program. Should Montoro/Belmont arrange an assignment/sale of its earned interest to a major mining exploration or mineral producing company within the option term of this agreement, each of Montoro/Belmont will issue additional shares to the vendor. The property is also subject to a 2% NSR.

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