Manson Creek Reports Exploration Completed on Up Town Gold Project

Manson Creek Resources Ltd. ('Manson Creek') (TSX VENTURE:MCK) is pleased to
announce that Phase Two exploration is now complete on the Up Town Gold project
in the Northwest Territories. 


Phase Two exploration work entailed channel sampling the Fox South Zone, J Zone
and C Zone utilizing rock saws to representatively sample the glacially smoothed
bedrock. The channel sampling is oriented across the strike length of a number
of significantly mineralized shears and into altered granodiorite country rock
where possible with 152 channel samples collected.


A number of shear zones not examined in previous work were prospected in the
course of this program. The discovery of additional shear zones 140 meters to
the south of the known gold and silver mineralized Fox South Zone has now
extended that zone to over 475 meters. Additionally, two 500 meter extensions of
several of the gold mineralized C Zone shear zones were discovered and sampled. 


A small man portable drill was successfully utilized to test the strike length
of the J3 zone, grading 7.99 grams/tonne gold and 35.56 grams/tonne silver in
earlier sampling. Two shallow holes of 10 and 19 meters depth that were spaced
35 meters apart along strike, bracketed the gold and silver mineralization
discovered in Phase One. 


Samples from each zone were submitted separately and Manson Creek anticipates
receiving results in approximately 4 to 6 weeks. 


Up Town Gold Project Background

The Up Town Gold property is within sight of two historic gold producers, the
Giant and Con gold mines that have produced over 12,000,000 ounces of gold. The
property encompasses five known gold bearing zones hosted in Archean
granodiorites. Manson Creek has completed reconnaissance prospecting and
sampling over much of the core of the 3,388-hectare property. Gold
mineralization, often with significant silver mineralization, extends over three
kilometers of strike in the Rod, Fox South, J7 and C areas (Map of showing
locations and Phase One sampling can be found at www.manson.ca). 


Significant results included 22 of the 91 samples collected returning gold
grades between 1.30 grams/tonne (g/t) gold to 113.5 g/t gold with silver locally
in excess of 100 g/t. The shear zones, associated fractures and quartz veins
vary from millimeter widths to well over 3.0 meters and they commonly surrounded
by a broader alteration halo. The alteration consists of silicification and
sericitization with hematite alteration. Mineralization is present at surface
with exposures varying between tens to hundreds of meters.
