MTU Manitou Gold Inc

Manitou Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MTU) ("Manitou" or the "Company") announces the
receipt of channel sample assay results from the recently completed work program
on the Gaffney Patents Project. The purpose of the program was to complete a
comprehensive sampling program on trenches previously sampled by Sylvanite Gold
Mines Ltd. in 1943, and to establish the distribution of gold mineralization in
the different rock units. Channel samples were collected from some of the
historical trenches and from two new areas exposed by the Company within the
vicinity of the historical Gaffney Shaft. 


The majority of the 172 cut channel samples (136 metres) returned anomalous gold
values greater than 0.05 g/t Au with assays ranging between 0.01 g/t Au to 74.30
g/t. Highlights of the channel sampling program are included in Table 1, and
demonstrate the widespread nature of high grade gold mineralization.

The sampling results demonstrate gold mineralization occurring in a number of
different rock units. Geological mapping suggests mineralization trends in a
north-south orientation in addition to the more commonly interpreted east-west
trends. Geological mapping of newly exposed areas has identified structural
complexity whereby strong evidence of folding of the north-south trending QFP
dike has been uncovered in the newly exposed Shaft Trench. Channel sampling of
this Quartz Feldspar Porphyry dike demonstrates anomalous gold values throughout
its entirety, with high grade gold results identified along the contacts of the
dike. 


Todd Keast, the President and CEO of Manitou commented, "The current sampling
and mapping program has provided a better understanding of the structural and
mineralogical controls on gold mineralization and has confirmed not only the
structural complexity of the Gaffney Patents Property, but also the potential
for a number of gold focusing structures that have not been previously
evaluated. The presence of gold mineralization within the Quartz Feldspar
Porphyry (QFP) dike and along the contacts of the dike with the surrounding
diorite intrusion and mafic volcanic rocks make the main north-south trending
QFP dike near the Gaffney shaft, as well as other north-south trending QFPs
located across the property are extremely favorable exploration targets."

Manitou is a Canadian exploration company with a 150 square kilometre land
package of highly prospective gold properties located in the historical Gold
Rock District, in Northwestern Ontario. This under-explored area has a very
attractive geological setting hosting 61 known gold occurrences including three
past producing mines (Big Master, Laurentian and Elora). Until recently, the
area has remained relatively untouched by modern-day exploration, pointing to
excellent discovery potential over this large land package.


The Company has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in
sampling and analysis. Assayed samples are transported in security sealed bags
for preparation and analysis at ALS Chemex facilities. ALS Chemex is an ISO
9001-2000 and ISO 17025 registered laboratory. Samples were analyzed for gold by
50-gm fire assay with AA finish and by gravimetric methods. Samples with visible
gold are assayed by screened total metallics.
