KUTCHO COPPER ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF GEOPHYSICAL SURVEYS

Kutcho Copper Corp. has commenced the planned geophysical surveys at its feasibility-stage, high-grade copper-zinc development project located in Northwestern British Columbia.

Vince Sorace, President & CEO of Kutcho Copper comments: "We announced our plans for a regional exploration program in February, that program has now commenced, beginning with a dual VTEM and ZTEM aerial geophysical survey. VTEM is useful for definition of shallow VMS mineralisation and can clearly pick out potential targets to 300m depth such as the Main and Sumac deposits. The ZTEM survey is focussed deeper in the 300-800 m depth range and will cover around 90% of the prospective Kutcho Formation on the property. This latter technique has been chosen to highlight potential targets similar to our Esso deposit. Combined, the two surveys will investigate a significantly larger volume of prospective Kutcho Formation rocks, particularly to depth, than ever before.

"In addition, within our prime mineralized corridor of Main-Sumac and Esso, we will be utilising a seismic survey to define the orientation and depth of the most prospective rock package and extending coverage up to 2km west of the high-grade Esso deposit. The combination of our new and old data will be used to develop a follow-up drill program for the most compelling targets."

These programs represent the first time that the highly effective modern VTEM and ZTEM geophysical techniques will have been deployed together to conduct an evaluation of the most prospective mineralized horizons that already host the three known VMS deposits.

Highlights of the program underway include:

802 line km of VTEM (Versatile Time domain Electro-Magnetic) on 100m line spacing - depth focus 0-300 m (includes total magnetic intensity data to enhance the projects magnetic data coverage).

1,557 line km of ZTEM (Z-Axis Tipper Electro-Magnetic) on 200m line spacing - depth focus 300-800 m, but has been shown to have up to 1,500 m of depth penetration in some locations.

VTEM and ZTEM surveys are due to complete data acquisition in mid-July.

The seismic survey with a depth focus 0-1,000 m.

Integrated targeting will be performed on data as it is released from providers from the various surveys for development of drill programs on compelling targets.

The Kutcho Project encompasses ~90% of the prospective Kutcho Formation rocks east of Dease Lake, B.C. These prospective volcanic rocks are folded, repeating the favourable mineralized horizon that hosts the Main, Sumac and Esso volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") deposits three times within the Project boundary, including the areas hosting the known deposits.
