The Pöntio prospect is a blind discovery made in 2012. It sub-crops under shallow peat cover and shows significant size potential, with a true thickness estimated to be approximately 60 metres. Five drillholes have so far defined mineralisation over a strike length of 250 metres. The deepest intersection to date is 50 metres vertically below surface. Mineralisation is associated with chalcopyrite and hosted by a steep east dipping dioritic dyke/sill in gneissic metasediments. Outcrop is minimal but grab and channel sampling of available outcrops has outlined a broad mineralised zone over a strike length of more than two kilometres. The outcrop samples indicate the existence of a number of parallel mineralised intrusions, some of which will be investigated in the current drill campaign. Results from the five Pöntio drillholes announced on September 19^th 2012 are re-presented below.

David Pym CEO states "The Pöntio gold discovery is the most promising target intersected to date on the M2 geophysical trend on the Antikanperä gold property. Outcrop sampling and drilling have begun to outline what appears to be a significant new mineralised system only 35 km to the north of our Hitura nickel mine and mill facilities".

Table 1: Intersections using a 0.5 g/t Au cut-off. No top cut is applied. Maximum grade is 15.35 g/t Au over 0.35 m, one of four individual samples over 5 g/t Au. Intersections are estimated to be 70-90% of true width.

The drilling was undertaken by Drillcon SMOY of Finland, providing 42 mm diameter core. Samples are comprised of half diamond core. Intersections are estimated to be 70-90% of true width. No top cut is applied. Maximum grade is 15.35 g/t Au over 0.35 m, one of four individual samples over 5 g/t Au. Core samples are sawn in half on site, prepped and assayed by 30g fire assay with an AAS finish at the internationally accredited laboratories of ALS Chemex in Finland. The quality assurance-quality control (QAQC) program of Belvedere consists of the insertion of certified standards of known gold content every 20 samples, with blanks at the beginning of each batch. In addition, ALS Chemex inserts a number of blanks and standards into the analytical process. Standards, blanks and duplicates make up approximately 15% of the samples assayed. The remaining half core is retained on site for verification and reference purposes.
