David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company") reports that Strateco Resources Inc. ("Strateco") (TSX:RSC) has
commenced core drilling on the Company's uranium claims in the Otish Mountains
district of Quebec. The 2,000 meter program will focus on two key targets. The
first target is 4KM north of Strateco's Matoush Deposit where a potential
extension of the mineralized Matoush fault structure is indicated by airborne
and ground geophysics. The second target lies 2.7 KM east of the Matoush
Deposit, where re-interpretation of airborne and ground geophysics, as well as
prospecting for radioactive boulder trains, indicates the potential for Matoush
- Style uranium mineralization.


"The Otish Mountains remains one of Canada's premier locations to explore for
high-grade uranium, and Quebec remains the number one jurisdiction worldwide to
conduct mineral exploration," says Pacific Bay CEO David H. Brett. "Pacific Bay
has an exceptional land position in the region which it is exploring through
strong partnerships with companies like Strateco."


Strateco can earn a 60% interest in the Company's Otish Mountains claims by
spending $3 million, paying the Company $500,000, 200,000 Strateco shares and
other consideration, over four years. 2009 is the second year of the option
agreement.
