Straw Lake Area Gold Mineralization

Gold mineralization in the Straw Lake Property, which now consists of a contiguous land package totalling 4448 hectares (10,986 acres), appears in two different lithologies:

1. Lawrence Lake Batholith:

• Important gold concentrations with bulk tonnage potential occur within granodiorites related with lineament and fault structures that cut the intrusive rocks with associated quartz veining and pyrite. One such gold-bearing fault structure within the granodiorite is up to 2 km long.

2. Straw Lake Mine Trend: (11 km long)

• Gold mineralization along the mine trend is associated with pyritic quartz veins as well as with mineralized pyroclastic rocks, felsic volcanic and iron formation carrying economic grades up to 12 g/t Au. The Straw Lake Beach Mine produced 33,662 tons grading 0.34 oz/t Au between 1938 and 1941.

Nelson W. Baker, Mineral Mountain's President and CEO, commented: "The addition of these 4 mineral patents immediately west of our company's Straw Lake Beach Gold Mine shaft represents an important acquisition since the gold-bearing horizon trends through the patents."
