STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 11, 2011) - Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. ("Mountain Boy" or the "Company") (News - Market indicators) reports it has received the final assay results for an additional 18 holes from the diamond drilling on the high grade gold bearing Montrose zone at its Red Cliff project in Northwestern British Columbia. The Red Cliff is a gold/copper property consisting of 8 Crown granted mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining division approximately 25 miles north of the town of Stewart, British Columbia. The property is operated under joint venture and is owned 60% by Decade Resources Ltd. and 40% by Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. At present, access is via drill roads off the paved highway 37A.
Highlights of the drilling include 7.1 m of 8.9 g/t gold in DDH-Mon-52.
Locally fine visible gold is associated with a stockwork of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers occurring along a 30 metre wide shear zone. Strong disseminated and fracture filled pyrite mineralization as well as galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-visible gold form an envelope to the above stockwork mineralization.
At the end of the initial drill program, 8 holes labeled UMON1-8 were drilled near the 2009 drill holes. These holes were subsequently renamed DDH-Mon–27 to 34. Drill holes Mon-29 to 34 were drilled in the area of DDH-UMON-2010-1 (DDH-Mon-27) which intersected 149.2 Grams per tonne gold over 18.45 meters. Assay results for DDH-Mon 29 to 34 were released in a December 20, 2010 press release. Drill holes Mon-35 to 38 tested south of the above holes while holes Mon 39 to 49 tested an area west of the drilling on the Montrose zone. Drill holes Mon-51 and 52 were in the area of DDH-UMON-2010. The mineralization in the Montrose zone as outlined by drilling appears to be offset by en echelon northwest trending shears and narrow fault zones. Narrow quartz-chalcopyrite stringers oblique to the main mineralization and present just west of the Montrose zone were tested by holes Mon-39 to 50. No significant mineralization was encountered in these holes.
Assay results for these additional 24 holes are as follows:
True width of the zones is unknown at this time. The company plans to model the drilling to date in order to guide any further drilling.
