MRO Millrock Resources Inc

Millrock Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:MRO) ("Millrock" or the "Company")
announces today that through staking it has acquired a large claim group in
northwest Alaska that is prospective for large-scale zinc (+lead and silver)
deposits. 


The claim blocks cover age-equivalent rock strata that are known to host the Red
Dog district zinc-lead-silver deposits approximately 140 km to the southeast.
Stream sediment samples collected by the United States Geological Survey
indicate strong zinc and barium anomalies on the claims. 


The project is located 220 km northwest of the town of Kotzebue and 20 km south
of Cape Lisburne on the coast of the Chukchi Sea. It consists of 83 State of
Alaska claims covering approximately 5,300 hectares. For a brief summary
description of the project and location maps, please follow this link. 


The Red Dog Mine is a joint venture between Teck Corporation and NANA Regional
Corporation and has been operating since 1989. The open pit mining operation is
one of the world's largest producers of zinc and lead. The sediment-hosted
replacement ores are of exceptional grade and the deposits are large. Of the
four known deposits at Red Dog, mining operations are currently extracting ore
from the Aqqaluk Deposit, which is reported to have 45.4 million tons of
probable reserves containing 15.8% zinc and 4.1% lead as of December 31, 2013
(source).


Phil St. George, Millrock's Chief Exploration Officer stated: "Red Dog is truly
a world-class zinc mine. We feel there is excellent potential to discover
similar deposits on our claim block. Our claims have strong zinc and barium
anomalies in areas that are underlain by Red Dog time equivalent stratigraphy.
Our geologists have extensive geologic knowledge of the Red Dog region rocks and
are familiar with the most effective exploration techniques for the deposit
type. Our local experience will allow for efficient exploration and will
hopefully lead to discovery of any zinc-lead-silver deposits that may exist in
this area."


Gregory Beischer, Millrock President & CEO commented: "We have seen an
increasing interest in zinc from mining and smelting companies. We can see the
potential for zinc shortages and price increases in the medium to long term and
therefore have decided to act on this conceptual target. We will be looking for
a strategic partner to advance the project to the drilling stage."
