VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 9, 2011) - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MMV) -

Highlights:

  • Block "A" Hosts the Cook Zone Which Occurs Within The Tyrrell Shear Zone
  • Early Drilling Confirms Strong Gold Concentrations Along Strike and To Depth

Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. ("Company") is pleased to report that pursuant to the terms set out in the agreement between Benton Resources Corp. ("Benton") and Golden Harp Resources Inc. ("Golden Harp") dated June 1, 2009 and the subsequent agreement between Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. ("Mineral Mountain") and Golden Harp dated October 25, 2010, the Company has earned an undivided 60% (sixty percent) interest in the Copper Hill Block "A" ("First Option") situated in Knight, Natal, Tyrrell and MacMurchy Townships in the Sudbury and Larder Lake Mining District of northeastern Ontario.

Furthermore, Mineral Mountain has provided notice to Golden Harp of the Company's intent to acquire a further 10% (ten percent) interest ("Second Option") in the property. The Second Option requires that Mineral Mountain pay Golden Harp a $50,000 cash payment and expending an additional $1,000,000 on the property by March, 2014.

"Last week's results in the Cook Zone confirm the robust gold tenure in this wide gold system and indicates that the system remains open to depth-well beyond the limit of historic drilling," said Nelson Baker, President and CEO of Mineral Mountain. "As a result of our initial drilling on the Cook Zone, a new geological model is emerging for the Cook Zone. Future drill testing will apply this new model to both expansion drilling and exploration drilling particularly along the Tyrrell Shear Zone to the northwest and to the southeast."

The Emerging Shining Tree Gold District

Historically, the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, which encompasses the Shining Tree gold district, has produced in excess of 150 million ounces of gold representing one of the largest producing regions in the world. Modern exploration within the past decade has discovered an additional 34.5 million ounces of gold (Trelawney, Queenston, Kirkland Lake Gold, Osisko, Northgate, Lake Shore and Detour) scheduled for production in the near future. Impressive drill intersections by Temex, by Creso Exploration and, more recently by Mineral Mountain has heightened the interest in the Shining Tree District significantly.
