VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (
Marketwire - Nov. 8, 2011) - David H. Brett, President and CEO,
Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: PBM) (the "Company") reports that a 214 metre 2011 trenching program focusing on the Meteor Zone of its 100% owned Haskins-Reed project in northern BC, including 15 excavator trenches, encountered significant silver and base metal values. The Meteor zone has now been traced on strike for over 555 metres. The estimated widths of the zone vary from 4 to 16 metres and it is offset by several faults. The zone is open both along strike to the north and south and down dip. It is centered above a magnetic anomaly interpreted to be an intrusive body, is coincident with a strong VLF-EM anomaly and is along strike from a multi-element geochemical anomaly 2 km to the south east. A table summarizing the significant trenching results is located below.
