Zinccorp Resources Inc.: Summary of 2009 Field Work at Michelle Silver/Lead/Zinc Property

Marketwired
Zinccorp Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: ZN)(the "Company") is pleased
to announce that it has completed a 20-day work program at the
Michelle Project in north-central Yukon Territory. Assay results
are awaited from 122 rock samples and four silt samples collected
by a two-man prospecting team led by professional geologist William
Mann.
Previous initial exploration at the Michelle Property has
revealed zinc, lead, silver and gallium mineralization in
dominantly carbonate form (with minor lead sulphide) over an area
measuring roughly 12 kilometres by 6 kilometres. Fourteen zones
have been discovered to date, with further prospecting expected to
generate additional new discoveries.
One of the objectives of the 2009 sampling program was to
confirm and expand the Civic, Pinpoint and Nanny Zones, all
discovered in 2008. This program discovered a favourably
mineralized structure that extends the Civic Zone about 500 metres
uphill to the southeast. A series of samples was collected east of
the Pinpoint Zone in an area of anomalous soil geochemistry on
trend with the Dynasty showing, which may indicate a link between
these zones.
The greatest success from the 2009 program was encountered to
the west of the Nanny Zone, where a newly discovered zone of broad
weakly mineralized dolomite breccia was located and found to
contain local higher grade material. Some samples from this zone
contain relict galena, in addition to smithsonite and cerussite
(zinc and lead carbonates). The samples collected in 2009 extend
the Nanny Zone about 700m to the west, and expand the width of the
zone from about 10 meters to more than 50 meters. It is important
to note that this expanded area was not marked by the abundant
orange-brown limonite and goethite that identifies most of the
other zones at Michelle. Instead, a yellowish, fine-grained soil
was developed in this area, with a few small pebbles of limonite
present.
At the OT Zone, the most north-westerly of the zones discovered
so far, additional mineralized float rock was discovered more than
one kilometre to the northwest. The Lac Rob Zone was successfully
traced northward into the Dawson Mining district, and possibly
expanded to the west.
In addition to work aimed at extending known zones, several new
zones of zinc mineralization were encountered and sampled, which
may become discoveries if confirmed by laboratory analysis. In
particular, a mineralized breccia associated with a
northeast-trending regional-scale fault appears to be promising and
may hold clues to the structural controls on mineralization at
Michelle.
A large volume of weakly mineralized dolomite breccia is present
in the areas examined in 2009 at the Michelle Project. While not
likely to be economically important, these structures may indicate
the presence of very large mineralizing systems that connect the
higher grade zones identified by previous sampling.
Zinncorp Resources owns 100% of the Michelle Property.
