Mr. David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:PBM) (the "Company" or "Pacific Bay") reports that Strateco Resources
Inc ("Strateco") has completed a 1,498 meter diamond drilling program on the
Company's "Rabbit Ears South" uranium prospect in the Otish Mountains region of
northern Quebec. A targeted Matoush-like structure has been intersected but no
uranium mineralisation was encountered.  Strateco still has 1,000 meters to
drill on Pacific Bay's claims in the region under option to Strateco, the
details and timing of which have yet to be determined.


The second of the five hole program, PB-09-02, intersected a major, clay-rich,
breccia zone. Although no mafic dyke structure, characteristic of the Matoush
fault was encountered, the discovery of a strong breccia zone enhances the
potential for Matoush style uranium discovery in the Rabbit Ears area.


Strateco is in the process of earning a 60% interest in a 277 mineral claim
package owned by Pacific Bay in the western part of the Otish Mountains
uranium-bearing district. The Strateco Optioned property comprises 145 square
kilometres and hosts several high-priority exploration targets --- including
drill targets in the Rabbit Ears claims. In 2007-2008, Strateco fulfilled its
first-year option obligations to Pacific Bay; by completing 2,500 metres of
drilling, incurring over $750,000 of exploration expenditures, and making
payments of $100,000 cash and 40,000 shares of Strateco stock. Strateco's
commitment in the second year of the option is $750,000 in work, including a
minimum of 2,500 meters of drilling and cash and stock payments of $100,000 and
40,000 shares.


The technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and
approved by Ernie Black, P.Eng., a Qualified Person under policy NI 43-101.
