April 27 2008 King's Bay Gold Corporation (TSX.V: KBG) and Mainstream Minerals Corporation (TSX.V: MJO) are pleased to announce that they have received additional results from Hole # 25 at their joint-venture Bobjo Mine Project, located in Earngey and Agnew Townships, South Bay area, Red Lake, Ontario.

Results Confirm Extension of Zones

Depth Extension of Gold Zone

Rare Metals and Rare Earth Elements now found within Gold Bearing Quartz Vein

This project continues to be the site of new discoveries that has so far included high-grade gold, strategic rare metals and rare earth elements. The partners recently reported the discovery of a new high-grade gold zone located approximately 150 metres south of the main zones at a depth of 291.0 to 293.0 metres. They also decided to test for rare metals and rare earth elements, and are pleased to report that rare metals and rare earth elements are also present and combined within a gold bearing quartz vein. This new info has just increased the potential of all other quartz veins intersected so far. Additional testing will be needed.

This Bobjo Mine project is located between the former South Bay Zinc / Copper Mine and the Uchi Lake Gold Mine. It is noted that an existing power line passes through the southern part of the property and that Bobjo is within trucking distance of the Placer Dome / Goldcorp Mill in Red Lake, Ontario. It is comprised of 259 claim units totaling 10,360 acres. The area has a history of gold and base metal production dating back 80 years and the work presently being carried out by the partners represents the commencement of the first modern, systematic exploration of the property since a two compartment shaft with two levels was sunk to 270 feet in 1929, approximately eighty years ago..

The partners are pleased with all the results so far, and especially with the new knowledge that rare metals and rare earth elements are also present and combined within a gold bearing quartz vein. A 15,000 meter drilling program is ongoing, and additional results will be released very shortly.

The joint venture is 50 % Mainstream Minerals (TSX.V: MJO) and 50 % Kings Bay Gold (TSX.V: KBG) with Mainstream Minerals being the Operator of the project. John Archibald, A.P.G.O. - Geologist is the Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. All of the samples herein were analyzed by SGS Canada Inc.'s and Accurassay's labs.
