Mr. Wayne Hubert reports

INZINC COMMENCES DRILL PROGRAM AT WEST DESERT PROJECT

Inzinc Mining Ltd. has commenced diamond drilling at the company's 100-per-cent-owned West Desert zinc-copper project in Utah. The large zinc resources contained in the West Desert deposit and outlined in the 2014 preliminary economic assessment remain open for expansion in several directions. The phase 1 program of approximately 3,500 metres will focus on exploration and expansion of the West Desert deposit and the highly prospective area to the east.

Silver-rich zinc potential

Wide-spaced drilling will explore for silver-rich mineralization previously intersected in both the upper east portion of the West Desert deposit (CC08-11 returned 7.4 ounces per ton silver and 4.3 per cent zinc over 10.8 metres at 200 m below surface) and 650 m east in historical drill hole CC-43 (5.1 ounces per ton Ag and 6.8 per cent Zn over 4.9 m), which is located below the past-producing Utah silver mine (2.7 million ounces silver).

Copper-rich zinc potential

The holes testing the silver-rich zinc potential are planned to extend at depth into an area of high-grade copper-rich zinc potential as intersected in historical hole CC-43 (7.6 per cent zinc, 3.5 per cent copper and 1.0 ounce per tonne silver over 3.1 m).

Higher-grade zinc

An additional focus of the drill program is delineation of high-grade zinc (C07-02 retuned 27.30 per cent zinc over 17.37 m) and associated indium mineralization in the western portion of the West Desert deposit.

Drill program at Indy project

Permitting has been initiated for a diamond drilling program this summer at the Indy zinc project in British Columbia.

About Inzinc Mining Ltd.

Inzinc is focused on growth in zinc through exploration and expansion of the advanced-stage West Desert project (100 per cent) in Utah and exploration of the early-stage Indy project (100-per-cent option) in British Columbia. West Desert has a large underground resource open for expansion and has district-scale exploration potential. A West Desert preliminary economic assessment completed in 2014 forecasted 1.6 billion pounds of zinc production over 15 years. Indy comprises both near-surface exploration targets and regional discovery potential.
