David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company") reports that a 214 metre 2011 trenching program focusing on the
Meteor Zone of its 100% owned Haskins-Reed project in northern BC, including 15
excavator trenches, encountered significant silver and base metal values. The
Meteor zone has now been traced on strike for over 555 metres. The estimated
widths of the zone vary from 4 to 16 metres and it is offset by several faults.
The zone is open both along strike to the north and south and down dip. It is
centered above a magnetic anomaly interpreted to be an intrusive body, is
coincident with a strong VLF-EM anomaly and is along strike from a multi-element
geochemical anomaly 2 km to the south east. A table summarizing the significant
trenching results is located below.
