STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA, Dec. 14, 2010 (Marketwire) -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MTB) reports additional drill results from the diamond drilling on the high grade gold bearing Montrose Zone at its Red Cliff project in Northwestern British Columbia. The Red Cliff is a gold/copper property consisting of 8 Crown granted mineral claims situated in the Skeena Mining division approximately 40 kilometres north of the town of Stewart. The property is operated under joint venture and is owned 60% by Decade Resources Ltd. and 40% by Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. At present, access is via drill roads off paved highway 37A.
Locally fine visible gold is associated with a stockwork of quartz-chalcopyrite-pyrite stringers occurring along a 30 metre wide shear zone. Strong disseminated and fracture filled pyrite mineralization as well as galena-sphalerite-chalcopyrite-visible gold form an envelope to the above stockwork mineralization.
A total of 26 drill holes tested the area south of the high grade values obtained in the 2009 drilling on the Montrose Zone which included DDH-2009-MON-6 which intersected 24.7 metres grading 20.87 g/t gold. Results for the first 2 holes in the 2010 drilling on the lower Montrose Zone in the Waterloo Crown Granted claim included 7.6 metres of 12.19 g/t gold in DDH-2010-MON-1 and 13.11 metres of 3.30 g/t gold in DDH-2010-MON-2 (See Company news releases dated September 14 and September 21, 2010).

(i)Only values in excess of 1.0 g/t gold are shown. Gold values below this
cut-off are not included.
A further 22 holes have been completed in the Upper Montrose Zone near hole DDH-UMON-2010-1 which intersected 49.2 g/t gold over 18.45 metres and DDH-2009-MON-6 which intersected 24.7 metres grading 20.87 g/t gold. The assays will be released once the company has received and interpreted the results. A map showing drill hole locations is being prepared and will be posted on the Company website upon completion.
