Trading Symbol: TSX -MTB Frankfurt-M9U.F OTC-MBYMF STEWART, BC,
Sept. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd
announces that drilling is being conducted by 2 drills on its 100 %
owned BA claims. The BA claims are located 30 km east of Stewart in
the Skeena mining division approximately 3 kilometers south of
paved Highway 37A. This project has the potential to host a large
Kuroko type VMS deposit that has silver rich replacement type
mineralization associated with it. DDH-2008-BA-42 intersected a
wide sequence of rocks consisting of mineralized mudstones,
mudstone breccias, dacite and later replacement type
mineralization. Pyrite, sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite and local
argentite were noted in the mineralized sequence. The company has
cut and sent the hole out for rush assay in order to aid in further
hole planning. At present, a total of 22 drill holes have now been
completed on site this year. One drill is testing the mineralized
zone from drill set-ups located in the hanging wall of the
mineralized sequence. The second drill is testing the zone 250
meters south west from set-ups located in the footwall region of
the mineralized sequence. The first drill has indicated that the
mineralized zone widens at depth with a mineralized sequence of
rocks that is at least 80 meters wide (true thickness). Drilling
has indicated that the zone being tested is at least 200 meters
deep. The zone appears to dip at 45 degrees which is parallel to
the hillside on which it is located. The second drill has
intersected a zone of mineralization that appears to be 50 meters
thick extending over at least 150 meters of depth. The zone of
mineralization is exposed at surface over 500 meters of strike
length. Drilling is presently being conducted from drill pads
constructed by a small excavator which is also used to move the
drills from set-up to set-up. Drilling is on a 15 by 15 meter grid
which will enable a resource calculation at the end of the 2008
program. A third drill will test the down dip extent of the horizon
indicated in DDH-2008-BA-42. This drill will be located
approximately 150 meters lower in elevation from DDH-2008-BA-42. E.
