Mont Blanc Los Pavitos Property Shows 3.9% Copper
VANCOUVER, B.C., February 14, 2008 - Mont Blanc Resources Inc. (TSX-V: MTN)
(the "Company" or "Mont Blanc") reports:
The Company, along with two independent geologists, performed two site inspections of
its 100% owned Los Pavitos mining claim in Sonora, Mexico. The inspections included
grab sampling and rock-chip sampling and a general assessment of the geography of the
area as well as an assessment of road, water and electricity access. The assays from the
samplings had the following showings for three significant minerals identified

Marvin Mitchell, P.Eng., one of two independent geologists involved in the January 2008
site inspection, has interpreted the results along with his other observations at the site and
of the surrounding area. Mr. Mitchell comments "The Los Povitos property is comprised
of mineralized rhyolite dykes in granodiorite." "The preliminary site inspection
indicates the potential existence of a porphyry copper system."
As previously reported, the Company has engaged a geologist from Mexico who has
extensive experience in the area to begin the exploration program. The exploration
program will involve various geological recognition procedures to locate mineralized
zones including Aster Satellite data and systematic soil and rock-chip sampling. The
information obtained from the geological recognition phase will be followed by a detailed
geological mapping of the mineralized zones.
The Los Pavitos claim, the first of three claims to be acquired under an option agreement,
covers 10,000 hectares and is located approximately 35 kilometres southeast of Navojoa,
Sonora. Small-scale copper and gold mining have taken place historically throughout the
property. The property hosts similar age copper-bearing intrusives as observed at the
Piedras Verdes mine located 30 kilometres to the northeast. The Piedras Verdes mine has
been in production since October, 2006, by Frontera Copper Corp.
The Company is evaluating the assay results obtained from two separate site visits that
involved rock-chip sampling conducted on the two other properties that are currently
under option, the Brenda and Christina mining claims. The Company will also be
obtaining ASTER Satellite Data on the two properties to analyze the mineral alteration
zones to assist in identifying exploration targets. Information will be reported as it
becomes available.
