Belvedere Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BEL)  ("Belvedere") is pleased to announce
that it has commenced a 2,000 metre diamond drill program on their 10 km(2)
Antikanpera gold property to begin follow up on the Pontio gold discovery. 


The Pontio 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 Pontio drillholes announced on
September 19th 2012 are re-presented below.


David Pym CEO states "The Pontio gold discovery is the most promising target
intersected to date on the M2 geophysical trend on the Antikanpera 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 2: Details of drillhole locations

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.
