Drilling Update on the Montrose Zone -Visible Gold in 5th Hole Within a Wide Mineralized Intrusive Section
July 31 2017 - 8:01AM
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (TSX-V:MTB)
(Frankfurt:M9U) (“Mountain Boy”) reports that Phase I drilling
is continuing on the Red Cliff property. On the Red Cliff project,
the Company and Decade Resources are in joint venture on the Crown
Granted portion of the property which is owned 65% by Decade and
35% by Mountain Boy. The Silver Crown 6 claim, in which Decade is
earning a 100% interest, is adjacent to the north portion of the
crown grants. To the north of the Silver Crown 6 claim, Mountain
Boy owns a 100% interest in the MB property. The Red Cliff
Extension claim owned 100% by Decade is along the east side of the
Silver Crown 6 claim.
Drilling on the 5th hole on the Montrose zone
has intersected a wide mineralized intrusive within red tuffs
forming the Betty Creek formation. The drill hole collar is located
30 m north and 25 m higher in elevation relative to 2017 drill
holes 1-3. The hole tested the zone lower in elevation than the
previous 2017 holes. Logging the core has indicated 3 main
mineralized sections within the intrusive. Along the east edge, a
zone of galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite stringers occur in zones up
to 5 m wide. Near the west edge of the intrusive, another
galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite stringer zone is present. This
grades into a chalcopyrite-pyrite zone along the west contact.
Between the above zones, weakly pyritic intrusive is present. The
fifth hole was drilled to test beneath some of the gold bearing
intersections in the following holes:
DRILL HOLE |

The location of all holes up to 2012 are shown
on the 43-101 report located on the Company website. Figure
30 on this report shows the modelling looking SW along the Montrose
zone. It is the intention to extend the testing of the gold bearing
zone along strike and to depth.
The hole drilled at minus 55 degrees at an
azimuth of 268 degrees, intersected fine visible gold within
several galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite stringers at 286.59 m.
Coarse gold was intersected in several spots within a
chalcopyrite-pyrite rich section up to 2.5 m wide at 314.02
m. For 6 m above the visible gold intersection in the
chalcopyrite, the core contained brecciated intrusive with
pyrite-minor chalcopyrite-hematite veins surrounding clasts.
Several photos show the chalcopyrite rich core as well as gold area
circled in a white crayon.

Core is being logged and cut at present and
assays for the earlier drilling is expected within two weeks.
