VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(March 22, 2011) - Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MMV) -

Highlights:

DDH GH11-44 intersects 3.46 g/t Au over 13.25 m including 5.17 g/t Au over 6.9m and 10.28 g/t Au over 1.0 m. Gold mineralization in hole GH11-44 is hosted in a 111 meter wide, strongly altered structure grading 0.62 g/t Au. Drilling continues to the northwest. Cook Zone is open in all directions and offers excellent potential to host a commercial gold resource.

Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. (the "Company") is pleased to report that more positive gold assays have been received from the ongoing drill program which is targeting the Cook Zone on Block A, a part of the Companys extensive land package totalling 145 sq. km located in the heart of the emerging Shining Tree gold district. Final assays have been received for an additional 3 drill holes, GH11-42, GH11-43 and GH11-44 drilled on the same section 10150 E.

The Company acquired the right to earn a 70% interest in Block A by assuming all obligations of an option that Benton Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:BTC) had originally signed with Golden Harp Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:GHR) (see news release of October 26, 2010 on the Companys website

Cook Porphyry Zone

The Cook Zone is hosted within silicified and carbonate altered mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks that have been intruded by alkaline porphyry displaying intermittent brecciation and pervasive alteration associated with strong quartz carbonate veining with pyrite as the main sulphide mineral. Drilling continues to intersect significant, wide gold mineralization from several sub-parallel zones near surface. The gold-bearing alteration zone on this section which includes all three holes in this release averages 103.5 metres wide with an average grade of 0.483 g/t Au. The higher grade mineralization lies in a zone proximal to a northwest striking diabase dyke intersected in all holes drilled to date.

"The drill program has been expanded to 10,000 m in light of the continued positive results in all 9 holes reported by Mineral Mountain Resources," said Nelson Baker, President of Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd.

This release covers the next 3 diamond drill holes GH11-42 (dip -45), GH11-43 (dip -50) and GH11-44(dip -55) all on the same section with an azimuth of 015 degrees. The latter hole, GH11-44, is the deepest gold intersection to date, at approximately -250 m, on the Cook Zone.

About Mineral Mountain

Mineral Mountain is a well-funded explorer and developer of precious metals with approximately $7.5 million in its treasury. The Company has three major gold projects that meet Mineral Mountains long term objectives of becoming a strong mid-tier resource group. In south eastern British Columbia, the Companys 100%-owned 88,000-hectare, 70 km by 15 km Kootenay Arc Project is believed to have a geological environment for sediment-hosted precious metal deposits similar to those found in the Carlin Trend of Nevada and in the Selwyn Basin of Yukon. In the emerging Shining Tree mining camp 100 km south of Timmins, Ontario, the Company, through its joint venture with Golden Harp Resources Inc. has become a key explorer in the district. The 145 km� Golden Harp Main Block (60%) and Block A (70%) options host large gold systems that offer above average potential to host both bulk tonnage and high grade gold mineralization. The recently acquired 11 km by 4 km Straw Lake Property and the Whetstone Mineral claims 70 km northeast of the Rainy River deposit offers great potential to host both a Hemlo-style gold or a Hammond Reef-style bulk tonnage gold deposit models.
