DRILL HOLE CUTS .137% Mo (.228% MoS2) OVER 182.98 METRES (600 FT) AT RUBY CREEK MOLYBDENUM PROJECT (MOLY @$25.75 US/LB)
October 25,
2006 - Vancouver, British Columbia
Adanac Moly Corp (TSX.V: AUA, Frank: A9N) ADANAC is
pleased to release
a second batch of assay results from its angle (-50o) drill-programme at the Ruby
Creek Project, located 24 kilometres NE of Atlin, British Columbia. On August 30,
2006, it announced theresults for the first six drill-holes (A-06-356 to A-06-361).
The current
release is for the final seven (A-06-362 to A-06-368). The holes were drilled
in the vicinity of old workings in the floor of the Ruby Creek valley, in the
Phase 1 pit area of the proposed mine, as defined by Golder Associates in 2005
(see Press Release dated March 6th 2006).
The thirteen holes were drilled in a westerly
direction at an angle of -50 degrees to give better coverage of near-vertical
veins and fractures in a relatively well-mineralized part of the deposit.
Previous, vertical, drilling had emphasized the presence of sub-horizontal
veins. The new holes will be used to improve grade-definition in this
relatively higher-grade part of the deposit and to provide material for confirming
metallurgical test work. As part of the programme, Golder Associates has probed
several of the holes with a state of the art optical televiewer and is
currently analyzing the data to determine the precise orientation of individual
veins and vein sets. This should
provide a better understanding of molybdenum grade distribution within the
deposit.
The company has now received molybdenum assays for
drill-holes A-06-362 to A-06-368 (see table and map; attached). Of these, three
(A-06-362, A-06-365 and A-06-368) were collared to the northeast of Kerr
Addison’s northwesterly trending cross-cut and were drilled back towards
it; one (A-06-364) was collared immediately above the cross-cut and explored to
the west of it, and three were collared
approximately 100 -150
metres to the southwest of it. The latter were drilled
to define the western limit of the higher-grade zone.

Drill-hole A-06-364 intersected a large number of
both near-vertical and near horizontal mineralized quartz veins and averaged
0.137% Mo over 182.88
metres. The average includes one particularly high-grade
assay (1.636% Mo over 3.05
metres from 50.6 to 53.65 metres);
however, the drill-core is well mineralized throughout the length of the
assayed section. The styles and grades of mineralization encountered are
similar to those found in previous drill-programmes; however, there appears to
be a greater abundance of steep to near vertical quartz veins. Similar
structures occur in the higher-grade sections of A-06-357; A-06-359 and
A-06-361 (see Press Release dated August 30th, 2006).
Drill-hole A-06-362 passed below the cross-cut and
appears to have undercut the higher-grade zone exposed in the underground
workings. It assayed 0.075% Mo over 182.57 metres.
Similarly, A-06-368 under-cut the zone below the south end of the cross-cut. It
assayed 0.071% Mo over 198.12
metres with better grade material near the top of the
section. Drill-hole A-06-365 was collared near the northeastern limit of the
deposit and drilled back into it. It averaged 0.05% Mo over 207.26 metres.
Drill-holes A-06-363, A-06-366 and A-06-367 were
collared to the southwest of the higher-grade zone and drilled away from it.
They terminated in relatively barren rock and their mineralized sections are
shorter than for those collared to the northeast. Assay data show that A-06-363
(for which assays for the first 51.45 metres are missing) averaged 0.059% Mo
over 164.60 metres;
A-06-366 contained 0.034% Mo over 158.50 metres and A-06-367 assayed 0.07% Mo
over 198.12 metres.
The Company is encouraged by the grades encountered
in the 2006 drill programme, and by their consistency in and around the
higher-grade zone. Although there are relatively few assays in excess of 0.2%
Mo over 3.05 metres,
there are considerable thicknesses of rock averaging in excess of 0.07% Mo.
Golder Associates work on the orientation of the mineralized veins will add
considerable to the Company’s understanding of the controls on grade
distribution in the Ruby Creek Deposit, and enable it to provide better
definition of the grades likely to be encountered in the first few years of
production at the proposed mine.
The Qualified Person in connection with this press
release and in respect of the Atlin, Ruby Creek Project is Dr. Robert Pinsent,
PhD., P.Geo, Exploration Manager, who is responsible for verification and
quality assurance of the exploration data and analytical results set forth in
this release. Assays were completed by Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. of Vancouver, B.C.
Further assays will be released as they are
received.
