Marketwired Canada
Global Hunter Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BOB) ("Global Hunter" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce partial rhenium results from 2005 and 2007 drilling in the
Eastern Zone (previously described as Zone B). The results are highlighted by
171.0 metres grading 0.061 percent molybdenum and 0.113 grams per tonne rhenium
in hole RS-D-05-110 (see table for previous hole names). Higher rhenium grades
are closely associated with higher molybdenum grades as demonstrated by 0.541
grams per tonne rhenium with 0.30 percent molybdenum in RS-D-07-121and 0.483
grams per tonne rhenium with 0.39 percent molybdenum in RS-D-05-114. Weighted
average rhenium grades within the molybdenum mineralization for results to date
are listed in the table below.

(1) Partial results
The Company chose to analyze the 2005 and 2007 pulps for rhenium after its
initial results from the 2008 drill program contained significant rhenium
content. All samples with 0.01 percent molybdenum have been submitted to the
laboratory for rhenium analysis. To date the Company has received results from
952 samples, or 75 percent, of the 1,263 samples submitted. Samples are still
pending but the results received are statistically sufficient to establish a
close relation between molybdenum and rhenium grades. Pulps or rejects for
rhenium analysis are only available from the 2005 and 2007 drill programs.
Rod Husband, president and director of Global Hunter, said, "We are pleased with
the continued positive Rhenium results from the Rabbit South property as it
further supports our belief that Rabbit South has the potential to become an
economic molybdenum deposit. It is encouraging to confirm consistent rhenium
grades in the 2005 and 2007 holes from the higher grade Eastern Zone.
Establishing a substantial rhenium analytical database will assist us in
evaluating the economic impact rhenium can have on the project."
The company has completed drilling 14 holes for 3,709 metres in the higher
molybdenum grade Eastern Zone on the property in 2008. Logging and sampling of
the core is currently underway. To date, samples from 9 of the holes, or more
than 55 percent of the total, have been submitted to EcoTech Laboratory Ltd. in
Kamloops for molybdenum and rhenium analysis. Results are expected later this
month and will be released following receipt by the Company.
ABOUT RHENIUM
Rhenium is found together with other metals and range from 0.002 to 0.2 percent
in molybdenum and is commercially only recovered as a by-product from
molybdenite concentrates. It is a rare and valuable metal that currently trades
at approximately US$12,100 per kilogram and is used for catalysts (in unleaded
gasoline), electronic devices, thermocouples, temperature controls, heating
elements, rhenium-molybdenum alloys and coatings.
A summary of the sampling handling, QA/QC program, sample preparation and
analytical methods are described in detail in the Company's September 17, 2008
news release.
Global Hunter's Exploration Manager, Tor Bruland, M. Sc., P.Geo. (B.C.),
designed the drilling program, and has reviewed and approved the technical
information in this news release. The diamond drilling is supervised by project
manager, Donald G. Allen, M.A.Sc., P. Eng. (B.C.). Both are the Qualified
Persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101.
ABOUT RABBIT SOUTH
The property consists of 1,900 hectares located near Kamloops, British Columbia,
30 kilometers North East of the Highland Valley copper mine, and is accessible
year round by highways and logging roads.
The molybdenum mineralization at Roper Lake was discovered in 1959 by Kennco
Exploration (Western) Ltd. and was first drilled by Dominic Lake Mining Co. Ltd.
in 1967 before being explored further between 1979 and 1981 by Cominco Ltd.
Global Hunter optioned the property in January 2004 and has since completed
three drill programs in 2005, 2007 and 2008.
