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

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) - 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.

Forward Looking Statement: Some of the statements contained herein may be forward-looking statements, which involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Without limitation, statements regarding future plans and objectives of the Company (including statements relating to possible re-commencement of production at Hitura and the improved marketability of nickel concentrate) are forward-looking statements that involve various degrees of risk. It is important to note that the Company's actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements.
