PBM Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd

David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX
VENTURE:PBM)(the "Company") reports that Strateco Resources Inc. ("Strateco")
has commenced an 844 line kilometre High Resolution Aeromagnetic & XDF/VLF - EM
Survey over Pacific Bay's uranium claims under option to Strateco in the Otish
Mountains, Quebec. The ultra-sensitive survey by contractor Terraquest is
designed to identify Matoush style structures favourable for uranium
mineralization with high precision so that high quality drill targets can be
outlined.


Strateco has an option to acquire up to 60% interest in a large package of
Pacific Bay mineral claims adjoining Strateco's claim that hosts the Matoush
Uranium ore body. Strateco's 2010 work commitment is $750,000, which must
include 2,500 meters of drilling. Strateco recently announced an $8.9 million
2010 exploration program for its Matoush area properties. Some 60,000 meters of
drilling will explore existing targets on Strateco's claims as well as possible
new targets outlined on the Pacific Bay optioned claims.


As part of a previous case study, Strateco reports that Terraquest successfully
precisely defined the uranium bearing Matoush fault system that hosts the
Matoush uranium deposit and identified priority targets on Pacific Bay's claims.
Strateco and Pacific Bay geophysical consultants believe that the Terraquest
technology could be highly effective in identifying new target zones.


"The remarkable expansion of Strateco's exploration program in the Matoush Camp
is very significant", said David Brett, CEO of Pacific Bay. "Strateco's strong
commitment to making uranium discoveries on Pacific Bay's claims is particularly
encouraging."
