(TSX.V: BEA; FSE: L3L1;   DTC Eligible – CUSIP 080499403); (“Belmont”, or the “Company) is pleased to announce that it has been assigned the Legal Entity Identifier (“LEI”) number 5299000ACW29EX6WVS11.  Belmont Resources Inc.  meets the requirements for all companies listed on German Stock Exchanges (ie.

About the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI)

The Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) number is a 20-digit alphanumeric code.  It is an internationally standardized and globally valid identifier for financial market participants.  Its purpose is to clearly and unequivocally identify contracting parties (e.g., companies, banks, and investment funds).  It is used to comply with a variety of financial reporting requirements.  The Deutsche Börse Group has stated that “the LEI will clearly assist the regulatory authorities in monitoring and analyzing threats to the stability of the financial markets, (but) it can also be utilized by counterparties internally for risk management purposes.” The European Union has adopted regulations that require use of the LEI as a barcode equivalent aimed at pinpointing systemic risks.

According to the website of the Deutsche Börse Group, the LEI number will affect most aspects of the securities markets in Europe, including trading, clearing, settlement, custody, collateral and liquidity management, market data and indices.  (See http://deutsche-boerse.com/dbg-en/regulation/regulatorytopics/legal-entity-identifier)
