PBM Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd

David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company"), reports that mineral claims staked by Pacific Bay in northern
BC cover the highest gold silt sample site (7,086 parts per billion Au) reported
in the recently-released Geoscience B.C. re-analysis of over 10,000 samples from
across the northern part of the province. This same site also has a reportedly
high silver in silt geochemical value (4974 ppm Ag). The unexplored 7,920
hectare Sphinx Mountain Property was originally staked in February 2010 to cover
several high Rare Earth geochemical sample sites reported in previously-released
B.C government stream sediment survey results. 


The property is located on Sphinx Mountain near the junction of the Dease River
with Provincial Highway 37, between Dease Lake and Cassiar. The geological
setting and silt geochemical results indicate good exploration potential for
intrusive-hosted gold mineralization. Another junior explorer, Serengeti
Resources, recently announced the staking of a large claim block south of the
Sphinx Mountain Property to cover another silt sample site measuring 1,702 ppb
Au, the third highest in the data-package made public during the 2011 AMEBC
Exploration Round-Up in Vancouver.


"It's remarkable that this extremely high gold-in-silt value has come to light
after we acquired the property for what we thought was a strong Rare Earth
anomaly," said Pacific CEO David H. Brett. "The gold potential has now taken top
priority and we look forward to investigating the occurrence during our
spring-summer exploration campaign in northern BC."
