Mill Bay Ventures Announces Valentine Mountain Deep Drilling, V11DDH - 7, 8 & 9 Results Received
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA - Three diamond drill holes (total depth of 1,250.6 m) were recently completed to test the depth extension of the 'Discovery' and 'Discovery West' gold-bearing mineral zones on Mill Bay Ventures (TSX VENTURE:MBV)(PINKSHEETS:MLBVF)(FRANKFURT:M4K) 100% owned Valentine Mountain mineral tenures, located 30 kilometers northwest of Sooke, BC. Split core samples taken from these deep holes, V11DDH-7, 8 & 9 are summarized as follows:

Diamond drill hole V11DDH - 7, 8 & 9 cut through similar quartz-pyrite veining as nearby gold-bearing drill holes, but did not contain significant precious metal values. Geochemical analysis (ALS Minerals ME-MS41 PKG TL44, Certificate VA11232049, and VA11241769) was done for 291 split core samples. Results indicate that values range from 0.001-0.047 grams/tonne Au. Diamond drill hole V11DDH-7 intercepted 3,650 ppm arsenic at 141.43-141.73 m depth, however the gold values were 0.001 g/t Au.
Further evaluation of all current and historic drill data will be done to evaluate if interpretation of geological structures are continuous to depth. Data compilation and geochemical core sampling was supervised by Andris A. Kikauka, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under NI 43-101 guidelines responsible for reporting geological and geochemical results from the Valentine Mountain Gold Project who has reviewed the contents of this news release.
