Committee Bay Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CBR)(FRANKFURT:C3M) ("Committee Bay")
is pleased to announce the final drill results and successful completion of the
2008 underground drill program at its 100% owned Niblack Au-Cu-Ag-Zn project
located southwest of Ketchikan on Prince of Wales Island, in Southeast Alaska.
Drilling was designed to test the continuity and potential to expand existing
resources within the Lookout 1 (L1) and Lookout 2 (L2) mineralized zones.


Key Highlight Points:

- Lookout 1 (L1) footwall mineralization extended at least 130 metres west of
the defined resource area with intercept of 4.83 g/t Au, 85.31 g/t Ag, 1.89% Cu
and 4.93% Zn over 78.66 metres(1).


- Drilling significantly expands and confirms the continuity of the L1 and L2
zones down-dip and along strike of current resource limits.


- Precious metal-rich, high grade, polymetallic VMS mineralization intersected
throughout drilled area.


- Resource update expected Q2 2009.

"Committee Bay is extremely pleased that the initial Niblack underground drill
program delivered on all accounts. Mineralization remains open both down-dip and
along strike but most importantly, the continuity of the mineralized zones has
been successfully demonstrated based on our hit ratio which was largely
predicted through geological targeting," stated Committee Bay CEO and President,
John Williamson. "In conjunction with the results of the first eleven holes of
our 2008 underground drill program, these latest results attest to the
outstanding potential for developing a significant polymetallic deposit at
Niblack."


The results of these final eight Niblack holes complete the 2008 underground
drill program which was comprised of 13,738 ft (4,507 m) in 19 holes, drilled
from the end of the recently completed 1,000 m exploration drive within Lookout
Mountain(1). The mineralization in hole U028 (See Figures below) is considered
to be significant as high grade mineralization has been identified in the L1
footwall stratigraphic interval for a continuous 130 metres beyond the limits of
the current resource in an area previously untested by surface drilling.

(1) All holes were drilled at various angles with respect to the orientation of
the mineralized lenses (See Figure 2) therefore the true thicknesses of the
intercepts are variable. For drill holes U022 through U027 it is estimated that
the true thickness of mineralization varies from 75% to 100% of the intercept
length. The exception to this is U028 which appears to have been drilled at a
relatively oblique angle with respect to orientation of the mineralization,
however it is estimated that the 78.66 m intercept represents a minimum 10 m
true thickness.


About the Niblack Project

The Niblack property is an advanced stage gold-rich base metal VMS property
located on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska. Six major zones of
polymetallic mineralization, including the Lookout (L1&L2) and Trio Zones have
been identified on the property. During 2008 1,000 metres of underground
development was completed to provide access to over two kilometres of untested
stratigraphy, and to provide down plunge drill access to the Lookout zone at
depth.


The Niblack deposit currently hosts a 43-101 compliant indicated mineral
resource(2) of 1.4 million tonnes at 2.86 g/t Au, 29.21 g/t Ag, 1.04% Cu and
2.14% Zn and a further inferred resource(2) of 1.9 million tonnes at 2.07 g/t
Au, 29.21 g/t Ag, 1.65% Cu, and 2.71% Zn.


(2) For more information on the stated resources of Committee Bay Resources
Ltd., Niblack Project please refer to the detailed NI 43-101 compliant technical
report filed on SEDAR by Committee Bay on October 24th, 2008.


Committee Bay Resources Ltd. maintains an extensive quality control program in
the preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the property. The
program is supervised by Peter Kleespies, M.Sc., P. Geol. who is the Qualified
Person as defined by NI 43-101. A detailed description of Committee Bay's QA/QC
program is provided on the Company's website at www.committeebay.com.
