Highlights:
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and its subsidiary Mineral Mountain
Resources (SD) Inc. (“
Mineral Mountain” or the
“
Companies”) (TSX.V:MMV) (OTCQX:MNRLF) are pleased
to report that the analytical results for the initial three (3) of
the planned twelve (12) NQ diamond drill holes, ST18-001, ST18-002
and ST18-003 totaling 1,322m have been received on the Companies
Standby Mine Target in the Rochford District in
the Black Hills of South Dakota. All three holes have only
intersected the top 330m of a major southeast trending shear and
alteration system measuring 30m wide by greater than1800 m down
plunge.
Gold mineralization within this 30m wide structure
improves from 2.0 g/t Au over 3.2 m in ST18-001, to 1.1 g/t Au over
6.4 m in ST18-002, to 2.8 g/t Au over 6.1m in ST18-003
(see 3D Isometric View and Drill Hole Locations posted on the
Company’s website www.mineralmtn.com ). The more than doubling of
gold grade over similar widths, along with a substantial increase
in arsenopyrite, from ST18-002 to ST18-003, provides a strong
vector toward higher grade gold mineralization down dip of this
section. (Note: Pictures of arsenopyrite-bearing core from ST18-003
has been posted on the Company’s website www.mineralmtn.com). A
planned hole in the current drill section will undercut the
mineralized zone in ST18-003, and then continue in iron formation
down the thickened East Limb of the Standby Syncline. A subsequent
drill section will be targeted 100m further down plunge along the
mineralized structure from the current drill site
A second southeasterly trending mineralized
structure averaging 30m in width occurs along the west limb of the
Standby Syncline. This structure has been confirmed by the
Company’s geologic mapping along the historic surface pits and
outcrops in iron formation. Drilling is planned during the latter
part of the current drill program to test this structure along
strike and at depth toward the south-southeast.

Curt Hogge, chief geologist for the Company,
commented: “The 30 meter wide Homestake-type mineralized core
interval in ST18-003 from 153.0 – 183.0 meters downhole, from a
visual standpoint, looks as good as any hole that I have logged in
the Rochford District during my career in the Black Hills spanning
over 30 years. The dramatic increase in arsenopyrite percentage and
crystal size as well as gold grade between ST18-002 and ST18-003
makes the untested potential down - dip and down- plunge a
compelling target”.
By comparison, the surface expression of the
9 Ledge upper tail at Homestake is a 30m x 15m
area in a road cut, within which the majority of rock samples assay
only 100's ppb Au to 1 g/t Au, with one higher-grade sample
assaying 4.5 g/t Au. However, visible alteration,
characterized by quartz veins with moderately to well-developed
hydrothermal chlorite selvages and minor sulfide minerals, is
locally well developed at the 9 Ledge upper tail position.
Consistent ore grade mineralization (~8 g/t Au over 5-10m widths)
in the 9 Ledge does not begin to develop until 1200m down plunge
(800m vertical depth) on the 9 Ledge, and the highest Au grades and
widths in the 9 Ledge Centroid do not occur until 1500m down plunge
(1000m vertical depth. By comparison, the Au grades and
widths encountered in the shallow drilling (to 330m down plunge) to
date by the Mineral Mountain on the Standby system, along with the
30m widths of intense quartz flooding – hydrothermal chlorite
alteration – remobilized pyrrhotite – arsenopyrite alteration, are
highly encouraging.
In another comparison, a systematic 36-hole
drill program in the late 1980’s tested the 15
Ledge target area at Homestake, which did not host a known
Au ore ledge, from underground drill setups spaced initially
several 100s of meters apart. The best results from this first
phase was only 4.6 g/t Au over 1m, but many lower-level Au
concentrations (100s ppb Au), increased arsenopyrite and late-stage
quartz veins with chlorite selvages were used to define vectors
toward Au mineralization. Resumption of a second phase of drilling
on closer-spaced 50m to 100m step-outs from the modest
mineralization encountered in the first phase, resulted in the
intersection of 25 g/t Au over 10m, considered the
discovery hole for the approximately 1M Au ounces 15-Ledge. Again,
by comparison, early first-phase results at Standby are
significantly better than the results initially encountered by
Homestake during the first phase of their 15 Ledge discovery
program.

About Mineral Mountain Resources and the
Rochford Gold Project
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd., through its
wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources (SD) Inc., is
focused on the exploration of its 100%-owned Rochford Gold
Project situated along the highly prospective
Homestake Gold Belt in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, U.S.A. The Rochford Project covers approximately
7,500 acres and straddles three major trends of structurally
thickened auriferous iron formation that host ledge-type gold
mineralization.
Since 2013, the Company has continued to expand
its land position in the Rochford gold district by professional
claim staking and also by purchasing strategically located private
properties that fall along two of the major sub-parallel structural
trends that host Ledge-type gold mineralization. The Company
now owns the largest land position in the Rochford greenstone belt
and now possesses by far the largest and most comprehensive
database for the district in modern day exploration history! The
Rochford Project is vastly under-explored and has the potential to
host several district scale gold discoveries.
