Trading Symbol: TSX-MTB Frankfurt-M9U.F OTC-MBYMF STEWART, BC,
Sept. 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd
announces that assays for the first hole on the BA claims have been
received for the 2007 drilling exploration program and it has
intersected high zinc-lead-silver values. The BA claims are located
30 km east of Stewart in the Skeena mining division. Drilling is
being conducted in a grid pattern measuring 15 by 15 meters in
order to provide data for a resource calculation at the end of the
2007 drill program. Based on the positive results from this early
drilling, a second drill has been mobilized to the project. The
mineralized zone is located in the upper parts of Bear Glacier
within the same stratigraphic horizon as that which hosts the Eskay
Creek deposit. The company believes that the zone represents a
portion of a Kuroko-type volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) system
composed of an exhalite horizon with related zinc-lead-silver
mineralization. Mineralization occurs below the main exhalite
horizon and is located within mudstones, mudstone breccias and
dacite breccias. Mineralized rocks are at least 40 meters to 50
meters wide and mineralization can be traced for over 1 kilometer
of strike length and is open along strike and to depth. Prospecting
has also located a zone of massive bedded sphalerite over 3 meters
wide approximately 200 meters north of the present drilling.
Further prospecting, sampling and geological mapping will be
conducted in this new discovery area. Assays received for drill
hole BA-2007-1 with assay results greater than 1 % zinc listed in
