NEWS!Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd.: Bonanza Gold-Silver Mineralization With 105 g/t Gold and 1748 g/t Silver Identified at FR Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Aug 31, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) --
Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: MTB) announces results from their 2010 exploration program on its 100% owned FR property. The FR property consists of 7675 hectares within 21 claims at the headwaters of American Creek approximately 42 kilometres north of Stewart BC.
To date, the 2010 exploration program has identified a stockwork zone over 15 metres wide containing stringers and veins of quartz-sulphide. The quartz veins which are heavily manganese stained carry from trace to strong chalcopyrite, galena and sphalerite mineralization. The stockwork zone may be an off shoot or parallel zone to the Lilianne zone that was traced over 600 metres along strike in 2006 exploration. The recent strong snow melt has exposed additional new mineralization. Results of grab sampling on some of the veins in the stockwork are summarized below.
