Pacific Bay To Sell Part of its Argentina Uranium Portfolio to U3O8 Corp. for $850,000 in Stock and Cash

David H. Brett, President and CEO, Pacific Bay Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:PBM)
(the "Company") reports that the Company has signed a Letter of Intent with U3O8
Corp. (TSX VENTURE:UWE) to sell, subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange, its 100% interest in its BASA 1-3 mineral claims in Chubut Province,
Argentina to U3O8 Corp. in consideration for: (i) 1.5 million shares of U3O8
Corp.; (ii) payment of $100,000 in cash; and (iii) the Company retaining a 2%
NSR which may be purchased at any time by U3O8 Corp. for $3 million. The Company
is committed to exploring its two other properties in the Cerro Solo uranium
region of Chubut, the 100% owned, 400sq KM Regalo Property and the 90% optioned
July Property. 


"This agreement gives Pacific Bay shareholders exposure to U3O8 Corp.'s
impressive portfolio of uranium properties in South America while still
remaining a key explorer in the emerging Cerro Solo uranium district in Chubut,"
said Pacific Bay CEO David Brett. "I remain bullish on uranium and believe owing
shares in the very well managed U3O8 Corp. provides a strategic avenue for
Pacific Bay shareholders to leverage this property asset."


The Regalo and July properties are located approximately 35 kilometers North
West of the state-owned Cerro Solo uranium deposit. At Regalo, prior
prospecting, sampling, airborne surveys and geological work has confirmed the
presence of significant sandstone hosted uranium mineralization. Strong
scintillometer readings (1,500-5,000 CPS) were measured across a 1 sq. KM zone,
where assays returned uranium values up to %0.138 U3O8. The mineralized zone is
associated with a regional fault with uranium minerals found in sandstones and
conglomerates of the Los Adobes Formation.  


Internal to the Regalo, the July property is also situated within the favorable
Los Adobes formation. Two previously discovered uraniferous paleo-channels have
been traced in outcrop for approximately 250 meters on surface, measuring 1-5
meters in width. Along strike, high scintillometer readings have been traced for
1,500 meters. The shallow dipping structures are near surface and have
significant potential. A brief reconnaissance of the July Project by Pacific Bay
in March of 2011 returned grab samples up to 0.108% and scintillometer readings
up to 9,000 counts per second.
