ZN Zinccorp Resources Inc.

Zinccorp Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZN) is pleased to announce that drilling is
progressing well at its wholly owned Michelle property in central Yukon and that
the property has again been enlarged in response to new discoveries made by its
crews.


Initial drill results are very encouraging and a second drill has just been
moved to the property. The first drill is focusing on the Peak Showing while the
second drill will resume exploration at the Gully Showing, which has already
produced significant intersections including 7.94 m that averaged 22.72% zinc,
17.38% lead and 510.7 g/t silver.


The Peak Showing is hosted in an easterly trending fault and the Gully Showing
in a northerly trending structure. Drill intersects exceeding 15 m in length
have been returned from both zones. The surface mineralization and soil
geochemical anomalies associated with each of these zones have been traced for
about 600 m along strike and are still open to extension.


Geological mapping has shown that mineralization at the Michelle property can be
categorized as Mississippi Valley Type (MVT). Deposits of this type have been
important producers of zinc and lead in Canada (Pine Point, Nanisivik and
Polaris Mines). Typically, this mineralization occurs in a number of nearby
zones that collectively comprise the MVT district. Prospecting at the Michelle
property has now identified 11 separate zones spread over a 12 km long belt.
Additional prospecting and silt and soil geochemical surveys, which are
currently in progress, are expected to identify more zones in the next few
weeks. The property has been significantly expanded to cover known areas of
anomalous geochemical response and newly discovered showings. It now totals 427
contiguous claims encompassing an area of 80 sq/km (see map of Michelle Property
below).


MVT deposits usually exhibit a combination of structural and stratigraphic
controls. At the Michelle property, easterly trending fracture/breccia zones are
developed along faults that appear to have seen significant displacement.
Secondary faults are found adjacent to these main structures. They have
northerly strikes and are extensional in nature. Both fault sets acted as
channelways for mineralizing fluids. Where the faults cross permeable and/or
chemically reactive horizons, fluids moved locally into the surrounding
wallrocks to form stratabound mineralization.


The 2008 drill program is designed to determine the orientation, continuity and
grades of the Peak and Gully Showings and to identify stratigraphic horizons
where particularly rich mineralization is likely to occur within them.
Information gained from this program will then be used to delineate these zones
and evaluate other zones elsewhere in this highly prospective MVT district.


Exploration at the Michelle property is being conducted by Archer, Cathro &
Associates (1981) Limited, under the supervision of W. A. Wengzynowski, P.Eng.
Mr. Wengzynowski is the qualified person for this project. He has read this
