(\"Mineral Mountain\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: \"MMV\") is pleased to announce that  Major Drilling, experienced in directional drilling technology for the mineral exploration industry, have began a 4,000 m drill program to target historic high grade gold intersections and extend gold mineralization along the East Limb Shear Structure in iron formation. Only the initial 450 m plunge length of the structure was defined and partially tested during Mineral Mountain's 2018 Phase 1 drilling program. Historic intersections along the East Limb Structure, which hosts the Standby Mine, include BLG-UG3=24.0 m @ 3.36 g/t Au down plunge from the historic mine and SM87-3A=3.10 m @ 10.29 g/t Au intersected 1800 m down plunge along the structure. The major benefits to employing directional drilling technology is that it enables the Company to dramatically lower overall drill costs by utilizing shorter directional offsets from a deep trunk hole to test the gold bearing structure along plunge rather than drilling each hole from surface, provides quicker turn-around for assays because of the reduced meter necessary to effect multiple penetrations of the mineralized zone and, importantly reduces the local environmental impact by utilizing fewer drill sites. \n\n \n \n\n \nScope of Directional Drill Program\nA \"trunk hole\" of up to 1600 meters in length will be directed down the plunge of the East Limb Structure using directional drilling technology towards two separate historic gold zones, Target 1 (shallower) and Target 2 (deepest), that are about 750 m apart. Several shorter off set holes will then be drilled between the two targets, including above and below Targets 1 and 2, to more thor...
