ZN Zinccorp Resources Inc.

Zinccorp Resources Inc (TSX VENTURE:ZN) (the 'Company') is pleased to announce
it is planning a 2010 diamond drill program at the Michelle Project in
north-central Yukon Territory. Fifteen mineralized zones have been discovered
within an area roughly 12 kilometres by 7 kilometres. 


The 2010 program will comprise of at least 1500 meters of drilling, and will
test two or more zones not previously drill tested. A gravity geophysical survey
will be conducted to help focus exploration towards potential large, high grade
bodies. Further prospecting will be conducted, as the limits to the mineralized
system have not been set and prospecting has been very successful in previous
seasons. (See News Release December 14, 2009). Geological mapping at both
property and target scales will help Zinccorp to focus its efforts.

"The exploration plan for Michelle property is exciting as it has numerous high
grade targets that have not been drill tested. The Peak and Gully zones, the
only areas drill-tested so far and both of which returned high-grade
intersections, are still open to expansion. We expect to be able to expand and
define these zones for years to come," comments Company President, Richard
Hughes. "We are currently planning and budgeting for our 2010 exploration
program for the Michelle which will begin as soon as possible. As well as the
Michelle property, we are well advanced with plans for exploration on a number
of recently acquired properties in the West Timmins gold district."


Exploration at the Michelle Property has revealed zinc, lead, silver and gallium
mineralization in dominantly carbonate and oxide form (with minor lead sulphide)
over an area measuring roughly 12 kilometres by 7 kilometres. Mineralization is
hosted by upper Cambrian to lower Devonian carbonate rocks of the Bouvette
formation. Fifteen zones were discovered by the end of the 2009 work, with
further prospecting expected to generate additional new discoveries. The
mineralized zones are also locally enriched in Indium and Germanium, which may
add value to the project.


Numerous boulders of very dense, white barite were discovered at the new
showings discovered in the south-western part of the property in 2009. This
accessory mineral has not previously been documented on the Michelle property,
and may be of economic interest. This area will be further investigated as a
priority.
