7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. announces
that assays have been received from the 3 holes drilled on the
Montrose zone which is 500 meters north of the gold-copper Red
Cliff zone within the 100 % owned Red Cliff property. In 1939 - 41,
there was 65 tons mined averaging 2.45 opt Au, 2.95 opt Ag, .91%
Cu, 3.5% Pb and 4.41 % Zn from the Montrose Zone. Work in the area
of high grading during a 1979 surface sampling program yielded
19.31 g/t Au over 2.43 m and 1987 surface sampling gave 7.93 g/t Au
over 3.81 m. Several holes drilled in 1988 to 1990 gave intercepts
of 1.72 g/t Au over 14.48 m including 9.31 g/t Au over 1.70 m and
1.17 g/t Au over 16.89 m including 4.82 g/t Au over 2.29 m. In 1988
the Waterpump Zone which represents the south fault extension of
the Montrose Zone was discovered. It is located approximately 50
meters south of the 1939-1941 mining. A trench over the zone gave
values consisting of 21.37 g/t Au over 4.2 m and 6.89 g/t Au over
3.3 m with 2.0 m of dyke between the values. Across the entire zone
including the dyke, the sampling yielded an average of 12.07 g/t Au
over 8.5 m. During 2007, this zone has been extended 150 meters to
the north of the underground workings; Drilling has indicated that
this zone is open to depth and along strike both north and south.

Widths of the drill intersected zones are unknown at present but
historical work indicates that zones are at least 4 meters wide in
underground workings and surface trenching. The company has
