STEWART, British Columbia, Dec. 08, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd (Mountain Boy) (TSX-V:MTB) (Frankfurt:M9U) is reporting on additional trench sampling results from its 50 percent owned BA project in the Golden Triangle district of British Columbia.  At the BA project, the BA zone represents the surface exposure of a large VMS system that has been previously drill-tested over 1.5 kilometres of strike.  The zone is located between 2.5 and 4 kilometres from paved highway 37A, the main access route to Stewart, British Columbia, and remains open to extension.  Complete results are presented in Table 1.

Highlighted results include:

• Trench "A" - 7.50 m of 5.31% Zn, 1.97% Pb and 132 g/t Ag within 15.0 m of 3.84% Zn, 1.25% Pb and 108 g/t Ag
• Trench "K" - 6.00 m of 3.2% Zn, 0.72% Pb and 120 g/t Ag within 12.00 m of 2.42% Zn, 0.55% Pb and 99 g/t Ag.
• Trench "M" - 6.00 m of 0.35 g/t Au, 19.2 g/t Ag and 2.1% Cu defining a copper-gold target related to higher temperature VMS feeder style mineralization at the George Copper area of the BA claims

The George Copper target is located approximately 3 kilometres to the northwest of the BA Zone, and less than 5 kilometres to the north of IDM Mining Ltd.'s Red Mountain property.  George Copper is situated 100 - 200 metres stratigraphically below the BA Zone and is believed to represent higher temperature, copper-gold dominated VMS mineralization of similar style to that which has also been intersected below the zinc-silver-lead horizon at BA.  Great Bear Resources, the 50 % partner with Mountain Boy has posted a map showing the location of the trenching relative to previous drill holes.

Rock assay results are evaluated through a Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QAQC) procedure that includes the use of standards with known precious and base metal values.  Assaying was carried out by Activation Laboratories Ltd. of Kamloops, British Columbia.
