Mineral Mountain and Holy Terror Mining Company Mutually Agree to Amend Original Option Agreement by Extending Expenditure Requirements from 3 Years to 10 Years


VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 9, 2013) - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MMV)(OTCQX:MNRLF) ("Mineral Mountain" or the "Company") is pleased to report that, due to the difficult, prolonged market uncertainties the mining industry is experiencing, the Company and the Holy Terror Mining Company ("Holy Terror Mining") have mutually agreed to extend the annual expenditure requirements defined in the original option agreement (detailed previously in a news release dated May 31, 2012) from the end of the third anniversary of the Effective Date of the Option Agreement to the tenth anniversary. The project now totals approximately 5048 acres (2043.7 hectares) in size and encompasses an area 14 kilometers long by 1.5 kilometers wide (the "Property").

"We understand how hard the Holy Terror Mining team worked to assemble this wonderful high grade gold project since 1976 and we are delighted that they have given management and our technical group their unwavering support to move this project towards a maiden NI43-101 resource," said Nelson W. Baker, President and CEO of Mineral Mountain.

The Property, which now hosts eight (8) historical gold producers, is located within a belt of rocks consisting of sheared, carbonate iron-formation rich, metamorphosed Precambrian rocks that trends through the Holy Terror gold project. The eight former gold producing areas included in the Holy Terror Project are the Holy Terror Mine, the Keystone Mine, the Bullion Mine, the Bismarck Mine, the Egyptian Shaft, the Egyptian Shaft #2, the Ida Florence Shaft and the Juniper Mine are all located on major, crustal-scale braided fault structures that occur within a 300 metre wide belt of vein and iron-formation related gold mineralization. Seven of the eight shafts are aligned in a northwest direction for a distance of approximately 1.4 km and the gold mineralization dips steeply to the northeast.

As in the original Option Agreement, Holy Terror Mining Company granted Mineral Mountain the exclusive working right and option to acquire up to 75% interest in the Property on the following terms:
