Pebble Creek Mining Ltd. drill hole approaching mineral intersection, Askot
deposit, India

TSX-V: PEB

VANCOUVER and NEW DELHI, June 3 /CNW/ - Pebble Creek Mining Ltd. ("Pebble Creek" or the "Company") advises that the first core drill hole of the Company's 2010 Askot project exploration program, hole number 10AA018, is at 260 metres depth after resolving some problems with lost circulation and is approaching the projected along-strike extension of the previously drilled mineral deposit. The target intersection is located 500 metres northwest of known mineralization.

Hole 10AA018 is angled toward the centre of an EM (electromagnetic) anomaly that was confirmed by anomalous copper, zinc, lead and gold in soils. The slopes below the anomaly are littered with small pieces of black slag from ancient mining of near-surface ores and smelting in small clay pots.

Pebble Creek previously drilled 17 holes that twinned and resampled some of the 57 holes drilled at the Askot project in the 1960s and 1980s by the United Nations Development Programme and two government agencies. On August 12, 2008, the Company announced an independent National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant mineral resource estimate on the Askot project as follows:

    * Reported at a net smelter return cut-off of US$100 per tonne based on
        metal prices of US$2.00 per pound of copper, US$0.90 per pound of
        zinc, US$0.65 per pound of lead, US$15.00 per ounce of silver and US
        $900 per ounce of gold and metallurgical recoveries of 85%, 76%, 78%,
        60% and 60%, respectively. Mineral resources are not mineral reserves
        and do not have demonstrated economic viability. All figures have
        been rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of the estimates.
    

The known deposit is a steep body 600 metres in length by 180 metres average depth and five metres in average width. The current drilling program is testing an area as large as the known mineral resource.

A concurrent reconnaissance program covering 50 square kilometers surrounding the Askot prospect has found 6 previously unreported showings of copper sulphides, copper oxides or sulphide gossans. It is consistent with massive sulphide deposits to occur in clusters and the new showings will be examined in due course.
