David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company") reports that Company geologists have discovered large amounts of
un-split 1979-1981 drill core, much of it containing visible molybdenum. The
Company has an option to acquire 100% of the Haskins-Reed Property.


The "Mount Reed" moly/tungsten prospect is located within the Haskins-Reed
Property in North Central BC. Previous operators drilled fifty-six (56) holes
from 1970 to 1997. Results included 72 meters grading 0.19% MoS2 and 0.15%
tungsten and 0.33% MoS2 and 0.22% Wo3 over 39 meters. Holes 81-06 & 81-11,
comprising over 280 meters of core, have now been re-logged, split, sampled and
sent in to EcoTech Labs in Kamloops for assay. Results are pending.


Much of the historic drilling in the Mount Reed prospect was completed by
Canadian Superior Exploration Ltd. in 1980-81, during a program aimed at
outlining a skarn-hosted tungsten deposit. Molybdenum was not a priority target
at the time and large intersections of molybdenum mineralized core were not
split and assayed. Company geologists have now sent 172 drill core samples in
for assaying and are currently plotting the historic drill holes to develop a 3D
model of the mineralization.


The Moly in the old Mount Reed core occurs as Molybenite, frequently seen in
quartz stock-work zones as veinlets and fracture-fillings in quartz feldspar
porphyry, biotite granite, quartzite, carbonate skarns and altered sedimentary
units.


"The potential for a sizeable porphyry style, bulk tonnage deposit is
significant, which makes this an exciting discovery," said CEO David Brett. "The
molybdenum mineralization in granites was largely ignored, giving the Company an
incentive to re-evaluate all the historic core and contemplate a drill program
for 2010."
