Trading Symbol: TSX -MTB Frankfurt-M9U.F OTC-MBYMF STEWART, BC, Oct. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd and Pinnacle Mines Ltd announce that further assays have been received from the 2008 drill program on the Silver Coin project. A total of approximately 12,600 meters of drilling was completed in 79 holes on the Kansas and Big Missouri claims. Drilling tested in areas with little or no drilling in order to provide data for an updated resource calculation. Two different zones were tested with the drilling including the BM massive sulphide zone as well as the Main Breccia zone. The BM zone has had limited drilling completed on it to date. Results of the drilling indicate that the Main Breccia zone extends northwest across the Big Missouri claim as well as trending south across the Kansas claim on to the Idaho claim. Strike length of this breccia zone appears to be in excess of 1.5 kilometers. DDH-282 tested the Main Breccia zone while DDH-301A tested extensions of the BM mineralization consisting of strong sulphide mineralization including sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite Assays received for DDH-282 and DDH-301A are listed in the table below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- From To Width Au Ag Cu Pb Zn DDH (m) (m) (m) g/t g/t % % % CLAIM TESTED ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008-282 135.64 181.86 45.72 8.86 70.81 0.025 0.14 0.35 Kansas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 142.95 144.78 1.83 58.66 278.1 0.165 1.17 3.25 Kansas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- and 160.02 166.12 6.10 31.51 391.70 0.02 0.21 0.46 Kansas ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2008-301A 14.33 90.53 76.2 1.15 51.18 0.41 0.14 3.89 Big Missouri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 24.99 64.62 39.62 1.34 66.11 0.58 0.21 5.31 Big Missouri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- including 69.19 78.33 9.14 1.16 84.85 0.56 0.11 6.58 Big Missouri ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Silver Coin is a gold-silver-base metal property located about 24 kilometers north of Stewart, British Columbia in the Skeena Mining Division.
