Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and its subsidiary Mineral Mountain
Resources (SD) Inc. (“
Mineral Mountain” or the
“
Companies”) (TSX.V: “MMV”) (“OTCQX: MNRLF”) are
pleased to report that a total of six (6) of the planned twelve
(12) NQ diamond drill holes have now been completed totaling 2,155m
on the Companies
Standby Mine Target in the
Rochford District in the Black Hills of South Dakota. The
analytical results for the first three holes, ST18-001, ST18-002
and ST18-003, were released on May 03, 2018. Drill hole ST18-006
was successful in intersecting the steeply plunging high grade
shoot that hosts the
Standby Mine
deposit 230m below surface and 50m down plunge of
historical drill hole
BLG-UG3 which graded 3.36 g/t Au over
24 meters. This high grade shoot occurs within a 34m wide
classic Homestake-style quartz-chlorite breccia with silica
flooding, 3-15% coarse-grained arsenopyrite and 3-7% pyrrhotite.
Hole ST18-006 grades 2.12 g/t Au over 20 meters
including 4.39 g/t Au over 2.5 m and 5.24 g/t Au over 1.5
m. (see 3D Isometric View and Drill Hole Locations posted
on the Company’s website www.mineralmtn.com ). (Note: Pictures of
arsenopyrite-bearing core from ST18-006 have been posted on the
Company’s website www.mineralmtn.com)
Drill hole ST18-004, which recorded low gold
values wandered off its planned course and did not intersect major
intervals of the Rochford iron formation. Hole
ST18-005, the deepest drill hole in this campaign to date
at 352.3 m, intersected 1.50 g/t Au over 5.7
meters. This hole did not target the Standby Mine high
grade shoot. Upon completion of ST18-005, this hole was
geophysically probed thus providing a strong vector toward the 34 m
wide Standby Mine shoot.
Presently, drill hole ST18-007 is in progress
and is designed to test both a second southeasterly trending
mineralized structure averaging 30m in width occurring west of the
Standby Mine high grade shoot (referred to as the West Limb
Structure) and the down plunge extension of the high grade
shoot referenced above approximately 100m down plunge from
ST18-006.

Curt Hogge, chief geologist for the Company,
commented: “The 34-meter wide Homestake-type mineralized core
interval in ST18-006 from 149.0 – 183.0 meters downhole, from a
visual standpoint, is a classic Homestake-style quartz flooded,
intensely altered and locally brecciated iron formation as well as
replace style mineralization in iron formation. The untested
potential down - dip and down- plunge represents a strong
compelling target that requires definition drilling”.
By comparison, at Homestake, the surface
expression of the 9 Ledge upper tail is a 30m x
15m area in a road cut, within which the majority of rock samples
assay only 100's ppb Au to 1 g/t Au, with one higher-grade sample
assaying 4.5 g/t Au. However, visible alteration,
characterized by quartz veins with moderately to well-developed
hydrothermal chlorite selvages and minor sulfide minerals, is
locally well developed at the 9 Ledge upper tail position.
Consistent ore grade mineralization (~8 g/t Au over 5-10m widths)
in the 9 Ledge does not begin to develop until 1200m down plunge
(800m vertical depth) on the 9 Ledge, and the highest Au grades and
widths in the 9 Ledge Centroid do not occur until 1500m down plunge
(1000m vertical depth. By comparison, the Au grades and
widths encountered in the only very shallow drilling (to 330m down
plunge) to date by the Mineral Mountain on the Standby system,
along with the >30m widths of intense quartz flooding –
hydrothermal chlorite alteration – remobilized pyrrhotite –
arsenopyrite alteration, are highly encouraging at
Standby.
Qualified Persons
The technical information in this news release
has been prepared in accordance with Canadian regulatory
requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed and
approved by Nelson W. Baker, P.Eng. the President and CEO of
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. and a Qualified Person for this
project. All exploration activities at the Rochford Project
are carried out under the strict supervision of Kevin Leonard,
P.Geo. also a Qualified Person for this project.
About Mineral Mountain Resources and the
Rochford Gold Project
Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd., through its
wholly owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resources (SD) Inc., is
focused on the exploration of its 100%-owned Rochford Gold
Project situated along the highly prospective
Homestake Gold Belt in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, U.S.A. The Rochford Project covers approximately
7,500 acres and straddles three major trends of structurally
thickened auriferous iron formation that host ledge-type gold
mineralization.
Since 2012, the Company, through it’s wholly
owned subsidiary Mineral Mountain Resource (SD) Inc., has spent
over $9 million US in gold exploration in the Black Hills of South
Dakota, controls the largest land position in the Rochford
greenstone belt and now possesses by far the largest and most
comprehensive database for the district in modern day exploration
history! The Rochford Project is vastly under-explored and has the
potential to host district scale gold discoveries.

Forward looking information
This release contains “forward-looking
information” within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities
legislation (“Forward-looking information”). Forward-looking
information includes, but is not limited to, statements that
address activities, events or developments that the Company expects
or anticipates will or may occur in the future, including such
things as future business strategy, competitive strengths, goals,
expansion, growth of the Company's businesses, operations, plans
and with respect to exploration results, the timing and success of
exploration activities generally, permitting time lines, government
regulation of exploration and mining operations, environmental
risks, title disputes or claims, limitations on insurance coverage,
timing and possible outcome of any pending litigation and timing
and results of future resource estimates or future economic
studies.
Often, but not always, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of words such as “plans”,
“planning”, “planned”, “expects” or “looking forward”, “does not
expect”, “continues”, “scheduled”, “estimates”, “forecasts”,
“intends”, “potential”, “anticipates”, “does not anticipate” or
“belief” or describes a “goal” or variation of such words and
phrases or state that certain actions, events or results “may”,
“could”, “would”, “might” or “will” be taken, occur or be
achieved.
Forward-looking information is based on a number
of material factors and assumptions, including, the result of
drilling and exploration activities, that contracted parties
provide goods and/or services on the agreed timeframes, that
equipment necessary for exploration is available as scheduled and
does not incur unforeseen break downs, that no labour shortages or
delays are incurred, that plant and equipment function as
specified, that no unusual geological or technical problems occur,
and that laboratory and other related services are available and
perform as contracted. Forward-looking information involves known
and unknown risks, future events, conditions, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or
achievements to be materially different from any future results,
prediction, projection, forecast, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Such
factors include, among others, the interpretation and actual
results of current exploration activities; changes in project
parameters as plans continue to be refined; future prices of gold;
possible variations in grade or recovery rates; failure of
equipment or processes to operate as anticipated; the failure of
contracted parties to perform; labour disputes and other risks of
the mining industry; delays in obtaining governmental approvals or
financing or in the completion of exploration, as well as those
factors disclosed in the company's publicly filed documents.
Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors
that could cause actual actions, events or results to differ
materially from those described in forward-looking information,
there may be other factors that cause actions, events or results
not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no
assurance that forward-looking information will prove to be
accurate, as actual results and future events could differ
materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly,
readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking
information.
