Manson Creek Resources Ltd.: Exploration and Corporate Update
Fri Jun 20, 5:51 PM

ca.news.finance.yahoo.com

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - June 20, 2008) - Manson Creek Resources Ltd. ('Manson Creek') (TSX VENTURE: MCK.V) is pleased to provide an update for the exploration programs underway on two of its properties located in British Columbia and the Yukon.

Diamond drilling is ongoing on the Meridian project which hosts 5 past producing underground gold - silver mines on the 675 hectare claim block. This prolific historic mining camp is located 45 kilometers southeast of Revelstoke, British Columbia. The drill program, targeting extensions of mineralization along and below workings of the Eva Mine, has successfully intersected structures and associated quartz veins of the type mined historically. Four diamond drill holes have been completed and drilling is expected to continue to the end of June. Samples from the four completed holes are currently at the assay laboratory.

Field work is continuing on the 732 hectare Molygarchy molybdenum project, located just 40 kilometers from Whitehorse, Yukon. The open ended mineralized trend is being examined by detailed magnetic and Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical surveys. Detailed geological mapping, prospecting and geochemical surveys will begin in the coming days to follow up on the outlined prospective zones.

Corporate Update

Manson Creek has cancelled the previously announced increased portion of the private placement. This is due in part to sensitive market conditions and impending results of current field work. Manson Creek is fully funded to complete the current and planned field programs in 2008.

The Qualified Person responsible for the design and implementation of the Field Program as well as the preparation of this news release was the President of the Company, Regan Chernish, P.Geol.
