Belmont Resources Inc. has finalized arrangements to conduct a ground gravity survey across its Crackingstone Uranium Project in Saskatchewan, setting up drill target selection ahead of a planned 2026/2027 field program.

The upcoming survey will span approximately 253 hectares, utilizing roughly 2,500 gravity stations laid out on a 50-metre by 50-metre grid. Field crews are scheduled to begin the work during the first week of October, with operations expected to take between 10 and 14 days.

The survey design integrates existing airborne radiometric uranium and potassium ratio data alongside other exploration datasets. The work aims to identify coincident gravity, radiometric, and structural anomalies along strike of the Black Bay Shear Zone.

The geophysical program builds on preparatory technical work completed across the property. In December 2025, Axiom Exploration Group finished a relogging and resampling program covering 20 historical drill holes totaling 3,029.4 metres from a 2008 campaign. Belmont also received a Crown Land Work Authorization drill permit from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment, authorizing up to 40 drill holes through November 2028.

Earlier in September, Belmont appointed Ken Wheatley as Senior Geological Advisor for the project to assist with structural and geophysical data integration for the upcoming drilling phase.

“This gravity survey is the final step before we put the drill bit to the ground at Crackingstone. By combining it with our full exploration dataset, we'll be able to pinpoint the highest-confidence targets across a property that already boasts some of the strongest historic uranium showings in the Beaverlodge district, including grades up to 15.6% U3O8. We believe Crackingstone has the potential to host a significant new uranium discovery, and this survey is the key that unlocks it,” said George Sookochoff, Chairman

The survey work is intended to finalize high-quality drill targets along the regional structural trend.
