Admiral Bay Provides Update On Monte Del Favor
Silver-Gold Project

TORONTO, ONTARIO--

Surface exploration program consistent with existing historical
resource; potential zone extensions

Admiral Bay Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ADB) today reports the
continuing surface exploration program results from the Monte del
Favor Silver-Gold property in Mexico. The Phase I program
budgeted at US$500,000 consists of extensive geological mapping,
sampling and drilling. Detailed mapping of road cuts with
sampling and mapping of the various historical mines is currently
being completed. Drilling on the property began late November and
four holes are now completed.

Samples from the various road cuts have now been received by the
Company and reviewed by its qualified person, Eddy Canova.
Re-verification of the road cuts, additional detailed mapping of
the geology, quartz veins, and structures is currently being
carried out to better understand the controls of the
mineralization in the area.

Mineralization on the Monte del Favor property principally occurs
along east-west fault structures dipping north at 70§N and 20§N
at the Monte del Favor, Zuriaga and Salomon Mines. A number of
smaller mines also occur along these orientations (Hundido, Los
Chivos, Las Cocinas and Rincon). Detailed mapping on the property
will help identify these mineralized horizons, their trend and
their continuity. Intrusive bodies have been identified near the
Salomon mine and their role in the mineralizing process may be
important.

Sampling over the property has been carried out over a period of
three to four months and the results of 400 samples have been
received. The assay results, which were compiled by Acme
Laboratories in Vancouver, British Columbia and will be sent out
to a second lab for verification, of the samples collected along
road cuts and previously worked mines have helped to identify
extensions to the mineralization (silver (Ag) and gold (Au))
along east-west trends, north-northwest trends and
north-northeast trends. The sampling has identified 13 areas
(table below) with 129 samples returning assay results between
100 g/t Ag to a maximum assay of 2305 g/t Ag and 42 samples
returning assay results between 0.5 g/t Au and a maximum assay of
7.35 g/t Au.

Salomon Mine

The significance of the results obtained in this field program is
that on the western part of the property veins 1, 2, and 3 from
the Salomon mine have a potential strike length of 500m to 600m
from west of Hundido to the east of Salomon where it is still
open. The samples collected from these areas have average silver
assays of 208.2 g/t Ag to 305.6 g/t Ag and 0.54 g/t Au to 2.01
g/t Au. Vein 5, previously mined in the Salomon Mine appears to
extend over to Los Chivos and Las Cocinas, a potential strike
length of 400 m and open to the west of the Salomon mine. The
samples gave average silver assays of 323.8 g/t Ag to 498.9 g/t
Ag and gold assays of 1.72 g/t Au to 3.37 g/t Au. The sampling in
the Salomon area has identified mineralization beyond the
resources estimated at the Salomon mine. This extends
mineralization 200m to the east of the Salomon Mine and 300m west
of the Salomon Mine. The mineralization found at the Los Chivos
and Las Cocinas extends the mineralized vein 5, 400 m east of the
Salomon Mine with silver assays as high as 2305.0 g/t Ag and gold
assays as high as 7.35 g/t Au.

Monte del Favor

The sampling at Monte del Favor and Zuriaga has confirmed
mineralization with average assays of 305.9 g/t Ag and 1.20 g/t
Au at Monte del Favor and 219.9 g/t Ag and 0.67 g/t Au at
Zuriaga. The mineralization at Monte del Favor and Zuriaga
identifies 3 parallel east-west trending mineralized veins of
widths up to 8 m. The drilling presently being done in the area
will confirm the presence of these mineralized veins. The
mineralized veins are 150 m in strike length and do appear to be
open to the east.
