(\"Blind Creek\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the Company's applications for a 5-Year Class 4 Quartz Mining Land Use Approval (or \"Class 4 QMLUA\") to provide for exploration activities at the Company's 100%-owned Blende Zn-Pb-Ag Property (or the \"Property\"), situated 64 km northeast of Keno Hill, Yukon, and a 2-Year Land Use Permit (or \"LUP\") to allow for Property road access by the Wind River Winter Trail, have been approved by the Yukon Department of Energy, Mines and Resources, subject to certain conditions.
