MPH Ventures Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MPS) (FRANKFURT:IJA1) (the "Company") announces results from the first phase of exploration drilling on the Godfrey Property. The 100% owned Godfrey Gold Project is located 20 km west of Timmins, Ontario and 9 km northwest of the Lakeshore Gold Timmins Mine.
All three holes drilled to date encountered a wide zone (+60 metres) of the heavily altered felsic intrusion. The quartz sericite alteration contains quartz veins and fine disseminations of pyrite. The third hole confirmed the altered intrusion at depth.

The three holes have identified a strong alteration system along 100 metres of strike extent to a vertical depth of 300 metres. An associated Induced Polarization anomaly extends across the southern portion of the property for 400 metres. Significant gold assays were not encountered in the three holes drilled, however the increasing alteration intensity at depth and remaining untested portions of the IP anomaly remain to be evaluated.
This first phase of work on the Godfrey Gold property was located in the southwest corner of the property and was designed to test a Magnetic and IP geophysical anomaly. Based on historical geophysics, stripping, and sampling there are more structures to be tested to the north of this first phase of drilling.
The Company is currently reviewing the geological and geophysical data and evaluating additional plans for the Godfrey Gold property.
In other news, MPH Ventures announces that line cutting has been completed on the Company's 100% owned 3500 acre Raney Gold Project located southwest of Timmins, Ontario.
The line cutting was in preparation for a tightly spaced IP and Magnetic geophysical survey now underway over the Raney property gold occurrence. This survey will be extended 300 metres to the west and 300 metres to the east on strike with the known gold zone. The data from this survey will be used to determine the next drill program for the Raney gold zone.

To date, fourteen diamond drill holes have been completed on the project, five holes by past project operators and nine holes by MPH Ventures. Significant gold intersections include 7.7 g/t Au over 6.8 metres in hole R-09-04, 6.5 g/t Au over 8.0 metres in hole R-09-08, and 3.5 g/t Au over 6.8 metres in hole 99-01. Most intersections are positioned between the 90 and 130 metre vertical depth level. Results from the limited drilling to date show excellent potential for the discovery of a continuous gold structure on strike and at depth.
The exploration program is being carried out under the direction of Todd Keast, PGeo. The information in this news release was prepared by Todd Keast, PGeo., a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
