MPH Ventures Corp.: 2007 Drilling Completed on Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit Project, NW Ontario
09:00 EST Thursday, December 27, 2007

 

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Dec. 27, 2007) - MPH Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MPS) (the "Company") reports that it completed 7 holes totaling 1210 metres by year end at its Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit project, District of Kenora, Northwestern Ontario. This current drill program is scheduled to resume early January 2008 and will comprise a significant program of infill drilling to improve the confidence of the molybdenum resource to a level sufficient for an economic assessment.

"We look forward to the continuation of our drill program at the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit project, which should advance the project to the next level", stated MPH Ventures President Jim Pettit. "We have a fully winterized camp to support our drilling activities and a strong cash position to aggressively pursue this exciting project" stated Mr. Pettit.

The Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit property comprises approximately 3,420 acres of mineral claims situated approximately 50 kilometres east from the city of Dryden, District of Kenora, Northwestern Ontario. This 10,000 metre diamond drill program has been designed to verify and confirm the historic data recently compiled by Wardrop Engineering Inc. At this time all samples have been submitted for analysis to the TSL laboratory and MPH Ventures expects to have the first batch of results available for release early in the New Year.

MPH Ventures received in November 2007 a National Instrument 43-101 standard resource estimate from Wardrop Engineering Inc. ("Wardrop") based on historical data. Wardrop has determined that the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit contains an inferred molybdenum resource of 8.5 million tonnes grading .099% molybdenum and that the mineralization has been calculated down to a total depth of 150 metres. The resource is contained in a mineralized shell, which is about 1300 metres long and 60 metres thick. The area containing the inferred resource in the report accounts for only 450 metres of the total strike length of the mineralized shell. The Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit remains open in all directions. There is very good potential of increasing the resource by drilling off the deeper portions of the mineralized shell as well as untested strike extensions.

Past reports on the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit project from T. Bottrill for BHP Billiton (Sept. 17, 1979) and consulting engineering firm Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. for BHP Billiton (July 16, 1980) indicate the contained tonnage in the mineralized zone varies from Strathcona's report of 9,000,000 tonnes drill indicated at 0.096% molybdenum to as much as T. Bottrill's report of 55,000,000 tonnes inferred with grades of 0.081% molybdenum. The historic estimates were based on a total of 76 variably spaced diamond drill holes completed on the property. The historic resources were not calculated to NI 43-101 standards and therefore could not be relied upon.

Wardrop has recommended that initial confirmation drilling would increase the confidence level of the moly resource and move the resource from the inferred to the drill indicated category. Wardrop also concludes there is a good chance of increasing the tonnage of the resource, which could make the economics more attractive.

It is MPH Ventures intention to quickly verify and confirm the existing resource as indicated by the Wardrop Report as well as to undertake an expansion program with the goal of significantly increasing the mineral resource of the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit.
