STEWART, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/01/09 -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: MTB)(OTC: MBYMF)(FRANKFURT: M9U) has been informed by Decade that diamond drilling continues to intersect wide zones of gold mineralization in an extension to the bonanza gold bearing Montrose zone at its Red Cliff project in Northwestern British Columbia. 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-visible gold form an envelope to the above stockwork mineralization. The only surface exposures of the Montrose Zone occurring along the canyon walls of Lydden Creek are up to 30 metres wide.

To date, eleven (11) diamond drill holes have been completed on the Montrose zone within the Waterloo Crown Granted claim on the north side of Lydden Creek. Decade has previously released gold assay results for DDH-Mon-2009-1 to DDH-Mon-2009-4, drilled 500 metres north of the Montrose exposure in canyon walls. DDH-Mon-2009-5 and DDH-Mon-2009-6 were drilled 30 metres south of the first pad to test for depth and southern extensions of mineralization intersected near the top of the first 4 holes. Gold assay results for DDH-2009-MON-5 and 6 are as follows:

The true width of the Montrose zone appears to be 30 metres, similar to that exposed in Lydden Creek.

The drill has been moved from the north side of Lydden Creek to test approximately 700 metres south of DDH-Mon-2009-1 to DDH-Mon-2009-10 on the Little Pat Fraction while the company applies for permits to construct further roads and drill pads north of the above holes. During the move, the Company collared DDH-Mon-2009-11 approximately 150 metres east and 100 metres below discovery hole DDH-Mon-2009-1 to test for the Montrose zone at depth.
