David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company") reports assay results from previously un-sampled sections of
historic Mount Reed drill core, within the Company's 100% optioned Haskins-Reed
Property near Cassiar, BC, - including 66.16 meters grading 0.115% Tungsten and
42.68 meters grading 0.051% MoS2 (0.030% Mo) from hole 81-11.


The Haskins-Reed property hosts several different styles of mineralization
including skarn hosted Lead-Zinc-Silver-Bismuth, intrusive hosted Moly/Tungsten,
and vein hosted silver-lead deposits. Company geologists have also recently
discovered potential low-sulphidation, low grade gold mineralization on the
property.


In 2009, Company geologists found visible moly in large sections of well
preserved, un-assayed historic drill core in the Mount Reed section of the
Haskins Reed Property. Core from two of the historic drill holes were re-logged
and previously un-assayed sections were split and sent to Eco Tech Labs for
analysis. The assay results confirm molybdenum occurs in a granitic intrusion as
well as within alteration zones, where the latter comes in contact with
sedimentary cap-rocks. Molybdenum occurs coincidently with Tungsten, withIn the
contact selvage zones.


"Management believes these results confirm the potential for a large scale,
intrusive hosted molybdenum deposit with Tungsten enrichment at Haskins-Reed,"
said Pacific Bay CEO David H. Brett. "This renewed Moly/Tungsten potential,
combined with the property's well established Lead-Zinc-Copper-Silver potential,
makes the Haskins-Reed property a compelling exploration target for Pacific
Bay."


To better understand the mineralization, Company geologists are currently
working on a detailed compilation of historic drilling and other geologic data
in the Mount Reed Zone. Plans for 2010 include a thorough re-examination and
assaying of all untested drill core and development of new diamond drill
targets.

Part of the 2009 trenching program focused on a significant and widespread high
gold, multi-element soil anomaly near the Joe Reed silver-lead vein. Although
the trenching failed to definitively identify the source of the gold anomaly,
prospecting revealed the presence of low-temperature hydrothermal system. This
gold-bearing multi-element soil anomaly coincides with a strong magnetic anomaly
and includes notable hydrothermal pathfinder values, such as arsenic. The
Company plans include aggressive follow-up of this new gold target in the 2010
exploration season to define possible drill targets.
