PACIFIC BAY MINERALS STAKES SPHINX LAKE REE PROPERTY

Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. has staked the Sphinx Mountain rare earth elements project, situated in Northern British Columbia, approximately 50 kilometres northeast of Dease Lake.

Previously owned by Pacific Bay, a 2011 work program designed to follow up on anomalously high British Columbia Geology Survey (BCGS) data involving stream sediment samples identified, confirmed and expanded, with resulting concentrations as high as 1.19 per cent TREE (total rare earth elements) and 0.83 per cent TREE in stream sediment samples. Additional samples in the area returned exceptionally high values (0.48 per cent TREE and 0.42 per cent TREE) over 3.5 km away, with limited to no cover/exploration in between samples.

A future program this summer will aim to cover the area with mapping, prospecting and geophysics, all to gain a comprehensive understanding of the region and define drill targets.

Reagan Glazier, chief executive officer and president, stated, "We're excited at the opportunity to explore for these critical minerals, expanding on the noteworthy discovery with low-impact and cost-efficient processes."
