Manning Ventures Inc. announced that it has staked an additional forty-two new unpatented lode mining claims (351.2 Ha/868 acres) adjacent to the claim block at Copper Hill. The Project is now comprised of 108 unpatented lode claims that cover 896.3 Ha (2,215 acres). The claim block was expanded to cover newly identified target zones from geologic mapping that is in-progress, recent gravity survey results, recent soil geochemical results, and new U.S. Geological Survey regional magnetic data.

Current surface mapping in-progress by Manning has identified geologic controls for copper-bearing skarn mineralization, zoning of the skarn mineralization, and alteration veining in the Jurassic Granodiorite and Feldspar Porphyry. The recent gravity survey identified strong indicators for copper in skarn that would be expected around a porphyry copper deposit, previously unrecognized fault trends, and geology that is favorable for copper target zones beneath post-mineral volcanic rocks that has never been drill tested. Recent soil geochemical results correspond with known copper mineralization, skarn zoning, and trends that highlight the skarn/geology mapping correlations.

In addition, it corresponds with skarn zoning and gravity indications of skarn, and correlates/aligns with gravity-based fault trends. U.S. Geological Survey Magnetic data is sufficiently detailed to highlight several trends in the Project ground magnetic data. Manning Ventures cautions investors that the historic exploration and production information is believed to be accurate but has not been verified by a qualified person.

The Copper Hill mineralizing system forms a topographic high surrounded and partially covered by younger volcanic rocks. Mineralization identified at Copper Hill are bornite, chalcocite, chalcopyrite, chrysocolla, copper-native, covellite, cuprite, gold, malachite, molybdenite, silver, sphalerite (rare), and tetrahedrite. The Copper Mountain area was explored between 1959 to 1979 by Idaho Minning Corp.

and Walker-Martel who conducted ground geophysics, underground mapping, prospecting and reported 6000 feet of Rotary drilling. Since that time ground magnetics were conducted in 2007. Rock sampling collected at this time returned values from select samples of 7.2% and 12.7% copper and 1.06 g/t gold and 1.19 g/t gold respectively.

The target being sought at Copper Hill is a porphyry styled copper-molybdenum-gold deposit. Warren Robb P.Geo., is the designated Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and is responsible for the technical information contained in this release.
