21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. announces
that drilling has completed 17 holes on its 100 per cent owned BA
property. The BA property hosts a zone representing a portion of a
Kuroko-type VMS system composed of an exhalite horizon with related
zinc-lead-silver mineralization in felsic rocks. Drilling is
concentrating on the southwest portion of this system where
drilling in 2006 indicated 10.31 meters of 152.19 g/t silver 4.67 %
lead and 4.05 % zinc and DDH-2007-1 intersected 57.93 meters of
140.44 g/t silver, 1.66 % lead and 2.51 % zinc. In addition
preliminary geological mapping indicates that there is anticlinal
feature through the Kuroko-type VMS system composed of an exhalite
horizon with related zinc-lead-silver mineralization in felsic
rocks. The sulphide rich horizon dips gently to the west of the
feature but steeply to the east of the anticline. Work along the
east limb yielded significant silver and zinc values in grab
sampling along mineralized zones that are up to 20 meters wide at
the edge of a glacier. This grab sampling is 600 meters north of
the present drilling. Values obtained are as follows:
-------------------------------------- Sample Type Ag Pb Zn # g/t %
% -------------------------------------- # 3 grab 64.5 0.13 4.09
-------------------------------------- # 4 grab 118.0 4.78 3.12
-------------------------------------- # 5 grab 42.7 0.9 5.70
-------------------------------------- In the course of building an
access road for the water supply, 200 meters away from present
drilling on the east side of the anticline, sulphide rich felsic
rocks were exposed over a width of 40 meters in a road cut. Chip
sampling indicated 164 g/t silver, 4.05 % lead and 4.55 % zinc over
5 meters. The total exposure of mineralization is over 600 meters
along the west limb and 1000 meters along the east limb. The
mineralization is open along strike and to depth. Ed Kruchkowski,
