MANSON CREEK ANNOUNCES RESULTS FOR NEW DISCOVERIES ON GILLMAN SILVER-LEAD-ZINC PROJECT

Manson Creek Resources Ltd. has provided sample results for the Gillman silver-lead-zinc project, located 45 kilometres southeast of Revelstoke, B.C.

Samples taken on the five recently discovered, strongly developed gossans have returned highly anomalous assays of silver, lead, zinc, nickel, copper and molybdenum (see table). The five samples collected in the five zones averaged 0.6 gram per tonne (g/t) silver, 48 parts per million (ppm) lead, 812 ppm zinc, 268 ppm nickel, 182.6 ppm copper, 24 ppm molybdenum and 10 parts per billion (ppb) gold.

(1) All samples are grab samples of extremely gossanous material.

A large boulder of quartz vein found in one of the gossan zones assayed 5.5 g/t silver, 0.29 per cent lead, 1.32 per cent zinc, 0.75 per cent copper and 10 ppb gold.

The new zones occur along strike to the known mineralized occurrences on the Gillman claim block and lay along the mineralized Camborne fault. The expanded Gillman claim block now covers in excess of nine kilometres of this prospective geological structure known to host 86 mineral occurrences.

These assays confirm the Manson Creek belief that this area of the Camborne fault system has the potential to host economic mineral occurrences. Planning is currently under way for follow-up on these results.

Background

The 1,709-hectare Gillman claim group hosts at least five distinct precious and base metal zones: the Silver Dollar, Hillside, North, Gillman and Homestead zones. Notable rock sampling results to date include 1,265 g/t silver, 17.40 per cent lead, 21.50 per cent zinc and 1.74 g/t gold in the footwall massive sulphides within the laterally extensive Silver Dollar zone. The Hillside zone has returned three metres of 29.35 g/t silver, 1.01 per cent lead, 0.54 per cent zinc and 0.20 g/t gold.

The Gillman project is located immediately south of Manson Creek's Meridian gold project. The 2008 drill campaign successfully intersected widespread gold mineralization adjacent to the historical Eva mine. The seven-hole, 1,141-metre program successfully tested 600 m of mineralized strike length adjoining the historical gold producer and confirmed mineralization along a 250-metre additional zone that crosscuts the main mineralized trend.

In addition to the gold mineralization intersected in drill core, surface sampling conducted at the time of drilling outlined the high-grade potential present on the property with one grab sample assaying 194.00 g/t gold and 48.10 g/t silver (see Stockwatch news dated Oct. 8, 2008).

EcoTech Laboratories based in Kamloops, B.C., performed sample preparation and analysis. The samples are subjected to acid digestion and analysis for specific elements using a combination of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) emission spectrometry methods. Laboratory inserted duplicates and standards provided optimum precision and accuracy.

The president of Manson Creek Resources, Regan Chernish, PGeol, is the qualified person responsible for the design and implementation of the field program as well as the preparation of this news release.
