HuntMountain Releases Additional High-Grade Gold-Silver Intercepts at La Josefina

(SPOKANE, WA)  HuntMountain Resources Ltd. (OTCBB: HNTM) (Frankfurt: MPT) released additional high-grade assays from its ongoing 25,000 meter diamond core drilling program at the La Josefina gold-silver project in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina.  The latest results encompass drilling in the broader Veta Norte zone along the high-grade Veta Amanda and Veta Norte vein systems.  Significant assays include:

HOLE	From		To		Interval		Gold		Silver		Gold Equiv.*
#	(m)		(m)		(m)		g/t		g/t		g/t
SVN-D08-117		13.45		19.3		5.85		5.01		77.72		6.28

SVN-D08-103		19.08		19.5		0.42		14.05		578.0		23.45

“Veta Amanda continues to yield excellent high-grade gold and silver values,” said Danilo Silva, HuntMountain’s General Manager of South American Operations.  “We have a full pipeline of assay results streaming in weekly, and we are pleased to see the consistency of the gold-silver intercepts as well as the increasing continuity of mineralization within this zone.  These results will be particularly helpful as we begin calculating a resource for La Josefina this fall.”

The La Josefina Gold-Silver Project is located in the north-central portion of Santa Cruz Province in Patagonia’s highly-prospective Deseado Massif and comprises an area of over 52,770 hectares. The property encompasses multiple precious metal occurrences within a 10 km-long hydrothermal alteration belt that is 1-3 km wide.  The region hosts numerous precious metal mines in production and deposits under development.

Certified sample preparation, gold and silver fire assay, and 28 element ICP analysis were carried out by ALS Chemex in Mendoza, Argentina and La Serena, Chile.

A complete table of drill results can be obtained at www.huntmountain.com on the La Josefina project page and within the NI 43-101 Technical Report. The most current assays greater than  1 gram/tonne gold are included in the table below:

*Gold equivalent grade was calculated by dividing the silver assay result by 61.46 and adding it to the gold value. Gold and silver values reflect prices on 8/15/2008.  Troy ounces/short ton was calculated by dividing grams by 34.29 and rounding to 2 decimal places. Interval calculations are based on a weighted average using a 1.00 g/t cutoff value.
