Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: PBM) (\"Pacific Bay\" or the \"Company\") reports assay results from a 7 hole, 448.2 metre diamond drill program completed at the Company's 100% owned Haskins-Reed polymetalic exploration project near Cassiar in northern BC.DJ Drilling of Surrey BC, used a low-impact, man-portable diamond drill to test targets near the Meteor Zone, where 2011 drill hole 11MZ-07 encountered 17.5 metres grading 88.35 g/t silver, 1.11% lead and 3.39% zinc. The 2018 program successfully extended the Meteor-Boot Zone by roughly 20 metres to the southeast. Shallow BQ diameter drilling intersected 5.2 metres grading 6.20% zinc, 35.83 gpt silver, 0.68% lead, and 0.23% copper. All reported grades are core lengths only, as the true width of the zone has not yet been determined. A full table of the results is inserted below. One of the intercepts indicated relatively high levels of Bizmuth, so a column in the table is included for that element as wellDrill HoleFrom ToIntervalAg (gpt)Pb (%)Zn (%)Cu (%)Bi (%)18MZ-0132.3033.501.2040.100.4591.7950.0380.02218MZ-0237.2539.802.5511.570.1172.9440.0270.00518MZ-036.5011.705.2035.830.6836.2040.2060.01118MZ-0413.3013.900.6032.300.0938.5500.1470.23618MZ-0419.8023.203.4045.912.6902.1950.1130.00718MZ-0614.1016.302.20148.364.7896.7520.3520.03318MZ-0622.9024.201.3076.401.4952.1400.1230.01718MZ-0711.8017.906.1056.541.8962.6370.1590.01918MZ-0721.8022.600.80157.001.1904.3200.7250.040 The mineralization was encountered in massive to semi-massive sulphide limy skarns with few calc silicate altered skarns hosting some lesser amounts of mineralization. The highest grade mineralization is hosted in magnetite-sphalerite limy skarns with pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and minor galena.The Haskins-Reed Property is a zinc, silver, lead, copper and bismuth prospect with multiple mineralized zones outlined with over 200 drill holes substantial underground development completed over a 50 year period. Since 2008, Pacific Bay has invested over $750,000 on the property, including diamond drilling, airborne geophysics, soil geochemistry and other surveys. 2 011 drill hole 11BZ-10 targeting the...
