FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: Oct. 6, 2003 Oct. 3, 2003 Close: $0.17 MILLSTREAM COMMENCES SUDBURY AIRPORT DRILL PROGRAM Toronto, Ontario -- Millstream Mines Ltd. (YLI - TSX-V) wishes to announce that it is starting a diamond drilling program on its Sudbury Airport Property. A recent deep penetrating I.P. geophysics survey has outlined several distinct anomalies which are located within the belts of Sudbury Breccia, the host environment for many of the economic deposits in the Sudbury Basin. The geophysics survey was structured to investigate a model target (massive sulphide, fairly narrow in width and length and penetrating to unknown depth) in the Sudbury Basin footwall rocks. The drilling program will investigate a number of the recently discovered anomalies and produce critical lithology of their surrounding environments for further analysis. The Airport Property is located just outside the east rim of the Sudbury basin on the southeast horn of the Basin; and 1.2 Km east of Falconbridge’s past producer, Norduna Mines, and 4 Km southeast of Falconbridge’s recent (Nickel Rim South) hi-grade Cu-Ni-Co-PGM discovery near to their past producer, Nickel Rim Mine (FL P.R. April 16, 2002, “the hi-grade intersection has a gross value of CDN$2,000/tonne”). Currently, Falconbridge-Aurora Platinum J.V. (ARP P.R. July 11 & Sept 11, 2002) are diamond drilling their property abutting the south half west boundary of the Airport Property. Sudbury Breccia and Psuedotachylite are the known host structures for ores in the Sudbury Basin Footwall zones. These structures are found in the Nickel Rim South new discovery and at other mining locations around the Sudbury Basin. Consultant, John Gingerich, notes the Airport Property has several long zones of untested Breccia and Psuedotachylite with numerous Cu-Ni-Co-PGM showings, indicating the potential for a more significant deposit. Consultant, Phil Brown, geologist, states that two major faults, the Airport Fault and the Norduna Fault, cross the Property in a southeasterly direction and that Cu-Ni-Co-PGM mineralization has been associated with these faults (YLI P.R. Jan. 21, 2002). Millstream would also like to remind the interested public of its website location @ www.millstreammines.com. The principle objective of Millstream Mines Ltd. is to enhance and develop known mineral properties to production potential.
