Vancouver, BC -- Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BCK) ("the Company" or "Blind Creek") reports that reconnaissance drilling at the Wann River Project in the Atlin Mining Division of northern British Columbia intersected multiple gold and silver veins grading up to 11.3 g/t gold and 226 g/t silver over 1 meter intersections, 4 kilometres south of the past producing and historic Engineer gold-silver mine.

The 17 hole, 3,325 metre reconnaissance drill program, occurred in a zone containing seven newly re-discovered quartz vein systems within an 800 metre by 180 metre prospective corridor adjacent to Wann River. Drilling took place from five separate drill pads (WR1 to WR5), set up over a 700 metre NW-SE trend. Targets in the Company's extensive claim holdings will be for a bulk tonnage gold-silver mesothermal quartz stockwork porphyry type system as well as a high grade gold-silver epithermal quartz vein system.

J. Frank Callaghan, President and CEO states, "It is exciting to have hit multiple occurrences of gold and silver mineralized quartz veins in these initial reconnaissance drill holes".

Data from 13 drill holes has been received of which nine indicated mineralized intersections. Data from three holes remain to be received; one hole (WR05-01-11) was not analyzed. Holes drilled ranged from vertical to -50 dips; drill directions were 30, 70, 210 or 250 degree azimuths.

Drilled rock intercepts include metamorphosed medium grained granodiorite, metamorphosed fine grained diorite and metamorphosed diorite, as well as un-metamorphosed fine to medium grained, slightly porphyritic quartz diorite. Multiple quartz stock works sections are present as well as quartz vein intersections up to 3 metres in length. True widths of the intercepts will be determined after additional drill holes are completed.

On surface, seven quartz vein systems host analytical gold and silver, as well as visible chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite in addition to more rare molybdenite and arsenopyrite. Drill core indicates visible to trace amounts of these minerals generally in one metre intercepts with sharp cut-offs.

Highlights include:
 

Drill core processing included descriptive logging and sampling for geochemical analyses. The NTW size drill core was diamond sawed in two halves at the Company's rented facilities in Atlin, BC. After sample preparations were completed, sample pulps were forwarded to Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd. in Kamloops, B.C. for ICP 28 element analysis, geochemical gold analysis and fire assay when returns are over 1000 ppb Gold. Analysis/Assays are made on requested 50 gram sample.

The company began staking claims in 2004 around the historic Engineer mine and in the historic Atlin placer gold camp in the Atlin mining division of north western British Columbia. The two claim groups, now known as the Tagish Lake and Atlin claim groups, have grown to a total of 139,081 hectares of mineral claims. The Wann River project consists of mineral claims covering an area of 2,271 hectares within the Tagish Lake claim group; it is located approximately four kilometres south of the historic Engineer mine. The project area is accessible to sealed roads which lead to the Alaska Highway, including the White Pass Rail route to Skagway, Alaska, via 80 kilometres on navigable Tagish Lake.
