MCK Manson Creek Resources Ltd

Manson Creek Resources Ltd. ('Manson Creek') (TSX VENTURE:MCK) is pleased to
announce that exploration is expected to commence on the Up Town Gold project in
the Northwest Territories in two weeks. The favourable geology underlying the Up
Town Gold project was outlined and staked based upon the deposit models of
Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc.'s Cote Lake deposit, Osisko Mining
Corporation's Hammond Reef deposit, both in located in Ontario, and other
Granitoid Hosted Lode Gold deposits worldwide. The recent announcement by
Trelawney Mining and Exploration Inc. and IAMGOLD Corporation regarding the
announced acquisition of Trelawney by IAMGOLD further demonstrates the value and
importance of these bulk tonnage gold deposits. 


The Up Town Gold project area has significant bedrock exposure that will allow
for direct geological inspection and interpretation. Phase one work will involve
detailed geological mapping of historic gold bearing zones with the intention of
identifying favourable structures and associated alteration zones that expand
upon the historically identified zones. Extensive channel sampling will then be
conducted over the mineralized zones as the first step in defining the
mineralization present.


Up Town Gold Project Background

Manson Creek's 3,388 hectare property has five known gold bearing zones hosted
in an Archean granodiorite adjacent to the Yellowknife greenstone belt which
boasts over 12 million ounces of gold production from the nearby Giant and Con
mines. Historic work on the Up Town Gold property, done primarily in the 1960's,
focused on the narrow quartz filled shears and associated quartz veins while
largely ignoring the larger zones of hydrothermally altered host granodiorite.
The shear zones, associated fractures and quartz veins vary from millimeter
widths to well over 3.0 meters and they commonly are surrounded by a broader
alteration halo. The alteration consists of silicification and sericitization
with hematite alteration present as well. Mineralization is present at surface
with exposures of tens of meters common with many stretching for hundreds of
meters.


Until recently, gold exploration has focused primarily on the
volcano-sedimentary greenstone belts, seeking structurally controlled
mesothermal lode-gold deposits while the adjacent granitoid rocks have been
largely ignored as hosts for gold mineralization. A growing number of
significant bulk minable lode-gold deposits have been found in Archean granitic
rocks and there is a growing awareness that they constitute a separate deposit
class - referred to as Granitoid Hosted Lode Gold deposits.


Several of the gold bearing zones on the Up Town Gold property had historical
estimates completed in the 1960's with over 2,500 meters of diamond drilling
completed. In many of the historic assessment reports there is mention of
hydrothermally altered host rock but no systematic sampling was ever conducted
on these altered zones.


Due diligence work conducted by Company personnel in December 2011 located many
of the historical areas of trenching. Shovelling of snow allowed for limited
exposure of the located Rod and J Group trenches with thirteen rock samples
collected from silicified shear and vein material as well as altered wall rock. 


Nine grab samples were taken at various trenches in the Rod zone and four
samples were taken from a trench in the J Group zone. The Rod samples returned
an average of 11.2 g/t gold with two of the grab samples returning high grade
gold grades of 49.6 g/t and 30.0 g/t. The J Group samples averaged 0.13 g/t gold
with trace silver in the limited sampling. The assays show high grade zones
occur within broader halos of lower grade mineralization and are consistent with
the Granitoid Hosted Lode Gold deposit exploration model.


Corporate Update 

Manson Creek is pleased to report that it has received a payment of $88,300 from
the Newfoundland and Labrador Department of Natural Resources Mineral Incentive
Program. The Junior Exploration Grant program returns up to 50% of eligible
exploration expenditures to the Company. The Grant Program has enabled the
Company to control exploration dollars during challenging market conditions and
conduct significantly more exploration than would have been possible otherwise.
