Mineral Mountain's Holy Terror Gold Project Adds Another High Grade Gold Producer With the Purchase of the "Bismarck Mine"

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Sept. 6, 2012) - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MMV)(OTCQX:MNRLF) -

Highlights:

  • The Holy Terror Project now hosts 8 former high grade gold producers.
  • Located 600 metres northwest of the Keystone Mine along same stratigraphic horizon and 320 metres west of the Egyptian #2 mine.
  • Historical drilling intersected wide intervals of fault-related, sulphide replacement-type gold mineralization (Homestake-style).
  • Sulphide mineralization is typically pyrite and pyrrhotite associated with biotite schist, iron formation and amphibolite.
  • Historical drill hole KG94-59 intersected an impressive 31.7 metres grading 3.94 grams Au per tonne.

Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. ("Mineral Mountain" or the "Company") and its joint venture partner Holy Terror Mining Company ('Holy Terror Mining") are pleased to report that the Holy Terror Project has once again been expanded to include the acquisition of the Bismarck Mine, a historical gold producer that is situated 600 metres northwest of the Keystone Mine and considered to be along the same stratigraphic horizon. The newly-acquired patents, which can be viewed on the Company's website www.mineralmtn.com, consist of 8 patented claims totaling 44.3 acres. In news releases dated May 31, 2012 and subsequently in August 20, 2012, the Company announced the signing of an option agreement with the Holy Terror Mining Company, a 120-year old privately-held mining company that owns 14 patented mineral claims and 22 unpatented mineral claims totalling 532 acres (215 hectares) and the recent purchase of the adjoining Bullion Mine property totaling 721.8 acres located along the southeastern extension of the Homestake gold belt in the Keystone Mining District of South Dakota, U.S.A. With the acquisition of the Bismarck Mine property, the Holy Terror Project now totals 766.1 acres.

The Bismarck Mine

The Bismarck Mine occurs contiguous to the Keystone Mine to the southwest and to the Egyptian No. 2 Mine to the west. Prospectors identified widespread pyrite and pyrrhotite mineralization associated primarily with iron formation ranging up to 20% sulphides. It was decided to sink shaft in 1893 on the heavier sulphide concentration without a single drill hole and based on surface sampling alone. In the Keystone Mining District, the Bismarck Mine is one of the earliest gold mining operations in the district, with small scale mining initiated in 1893 and producing until 1936. During that period, more than 4,256 tonnes grading 8.23 grams per tonne for a total of 1,127 ounces (35,054 grams) of gold were produced.

From 1980 to 1984, the Homestake Mining Company acquired the Bismarck Mine property as part of the Company's effort to consolidate the Keystone Mining District. The exploration program conducted by Homestake included detailed surface and underground mapping, a VLF survey, a ground magnetic survey covering a large area and the drilling of 12 exploration boreholes at surface in the Bismarck area during two separate drill campaigns in 1983 and 1984. Of significance, borehole KN83-5, drilled in the vicinity of the Bismarck mine workings, returned 15.68 g/t Au (0.46 opt Au) over a core length of 4.42 metres (14.25 feet) from 122.99 metres to 127.41 metres down the hole. Similarly, a second borehole, KG83-4, at surface returned 10.04 g/t Au (0.29 opt Au) over a core length of 4.12 metres (13.29 feet) from 128.38 metres to 132.50 metres down the hole. These drill results were highly encouraging to Homestake but the Company's inability to consolidate the adjacent property holdings led to a decision to give the Bismarck property back to the owners.

Between 1993 and 1995, Energy Fuels Corporation drilled 7 surface boreholes testing the Bismarck Mine gold mineralization focusing in the area of the historical mine workings. The Energy Fuels drilling program was designed to confirm the existence of economic gold mineralization remaining in the Bismarck Mine. The drilling pattern focused between the 100- and 200-foot levels of the old workings for the purpose of outlining a potential mineable gold resource. Demonstrating the potential for broad gold intervals, borehole KG94-56 drilled down plunge from the Bismarck mine workings returned 3.94 g/t Au (0.115 opt Au) over a core length of 31.7 metres (98.27 feet) from 79.55 metres and 111.25 down the hole.

The most significant gold intersections from the Homestake and Energy Fuel drilling campaigns are summarized in Table I below.

Terms of the Bismarck Mine Purchase

The 44.3-acre Bismarck Property located in Pennington County, South Dakota and adjoining the Holy Terror Mining property (see news release dated May 31, 2012) and more particularly described in Schedule "A" attached was purchased by the joint partners of the Holy Terror Mining Company on June 1, 2012 from Mrs. Alice Brekhus for the purchase price of $227,095.00 US.

On August 27th, 2012, all interests in the Bismarck Property were transferred to the Holy Terror Mining Company, and, since the property falls within the Area of Interest of the joint venture agreement between the Holy Terror Mining Company and Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd., the Company will have the right to earn a 75% interest by meeting its obligations defined in the agreement. Mineral Mountain, as part of its obligations has reimbursed Holy Terror Mining Company the sum of $227,095.00 US.

Nelson Baker, President and CEO of Mineral Mountain comments: "Being able to add the Bismarck Mine to our Holy Terror land package is a very important step because we now have consolidated eight (8) former high grade gold deposits in the district. The deepest gold producer known in the district was the Holy Terror Mine at 300 meters. There's been no historical drilling at all below the 200 m level."

Qualified Persons

The Holy Terror gold project is managed by Kevin Leonard, a Professional Geologist with greater than 30 years of exploration experience. Wally Rayner (P.Geo.), the Company's VP of Exploration, has verified the contents of this press release and is the Qualified Person for this project.
