MPH Ventures Acquires 2,900 Acres Surrounding Its Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit, NW

MPH Ventures announces that it has entered into an Option Agreement (the "Agreement") with Rubicon Minerals Corp., of Vancouver BC ("Rubicon"), and Mr. Perry English, wherein the Company has been granted an option to acquire a 100% interest in 10 mineral claims consisting of 59 Units (2360 acres) located in the Echo Township, Patricia Mining Division, northwestern Ontario. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company will pay the sum of $95,000 and issue 125,000 shares to Rubicon over the four-year term of the Agreement. The Property is subject to a 2% net smelter return royalty ("NSR"). The Company has been granted an option to acquire one-half of the NSR for $1,000,000. The Agreement is subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The Company is also pleased to announce that it has staked four claim blocks consisting of 13 units (520 acres) located in the Echo Township, Patricia Mining Division, NW Ontario. The claims are located adjacent east of the Company's Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit and new Echo Township claims noted above.

The acquisition of these claims through option and staking has allowed the Company to create a buffer zone around its Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit. Based on a recently completed technical report by Wardrop Engineering, the Company believes the Pidgeon Moly Deposit has the potential for expansion outside its current boundaries. The acquisition of these new claims will ensure any future expansion potential will remain on MPH Ventures ground.

Work on the Pidgeon Molybdenum Deposit dates back to 1946 with diamond drilling carried out in the 1950's, 60's, and 70's. Several historical resource estimates, produced in the 1950's through to the late 1980's, have been prepared on the Pigeon Molybdenum Deposit that include reports by T. Bottrill for BHP Billiton (Sept. 17, 1979) and consulting engineering firm Strathcona Mineral Services Ltd. for BHP Billiton (July 16, 1980). These reports are the most recent and extensive on the deposit and are believed to be the most reliable. The most recent reports indicate the contained tonnage in the mineralized zone varies from Strathcona's report of 9,000,000 tons drill indicated at 0.096% molybdenum to as much as T. Bottrill's report of 55,000,000 tons inferred with grades of 0.081% molybdenum. Both reports used a cut-off grade of 0.04% molybdenum. The tonnage varies depending on the parameters used and the assumptions made with respect to molybdenum grades, limits of the mineralization, and geometry of the mineralized body. The historic estimates were based on a total of 76 variably spaced diamond drill holes completed on the property and the historic resources were not calculated to National Instrument 43 101 standards and therefore cannot be relied upon.

MPH Ventures has not yet completed the work necessary to verify the classification of the mineral resource estimates and since the resource estimates are historical in nature and predate and are non-compliant with National Instrument 43-101 standards, the estimates should not be relied upon. For this reason, and in conjunction with Wardrop Engineering Corp, MPH Ventures initiated a technical report to confirm the historic data and plans to initiate an immediate in-fill diamond drill program to provide sufficient reliable information to complete a National Instrument 43-101 compliant resource estimate. This diamond drill program will commence shortly.
