Tribute Minerals Inc. (the "Company" or "Tribute") (TSX-V: TBM) announces it has completed additional staking around its South Bend Property which is part of its "Ring of Fire" property package of the James Bay Lowlands.  An approximate total of 12,200 hectares over 54 claims have been added in the vicinity of Tribute's Sunday Anomaly VTEM targets. The South Bend Property is located 30 km east southeast of the First Nation community of Webequie and 40 kilometres west of Noront's Eagle Nest Ni-Cu-PGE Deposit.

The exploration program has been temporarily halted on the property due to winter freeze-up.  An airborne magnetic plan map of the drilling area and VTEM targets will be posted on the Tribute Minerals website early next week.
