Belvedere Starts Further Tests on Open-Pit Nickel Ore for Processing at Hitura

Marketwired Canada
Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BEL) ("The Company") is pleased to
announce that in response to the recent recovery in nickel prices it has
initiated further tests to improve the marketability of nickel concentrate from
the Hitura Mine open-pit.
Previous test mining during 2013 indicated that the open-pit ores, when blended
with Hitura underground ores, produced a good concentrate; but that open-pit ore
alone produced a low nickel tenor concentrate. The Company has dispatched
samples for further flotation test work aimed at boosting the concentrate grades
and recoveries from the Hitura open pit ores.
The open-pit at Hitura is fully permitted to be mined and is readily accessible.
Currently, there are no plans to restart pumping at the underground operations.
Meanwhile the Company continues with its Feasibility Study on the Kopsa gold
copper project.

concentrate) are forward-looking statements that involve various degrees of

materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
