(the \"\n \n Company\n \n \" or \"\n \n Stuhini\n \n \") (TSXV: STU) is pleased to announce that SkyTEM Surveys Canada (\"SkyTEM\") has completed a high resolution airborne geophysical survey at its Big Ledge zinc project (the \"Project,\" \"Property\" or \"Big Ledge\") located 57 kilometres (\"km\") south of\n \n Revelstoke, BC\n \n . The 50.93 square km survey utilized SkyTEM's proprietary time domain electromagnetic (\"TDEM\") and magnetic survey system which is attached to a helicopter. The results are used as an aid in mapping the geology and the possible extensions of mineralization.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Preliminary maps from the survey reveal overlapping magnetic and electromagnetic signatures that coincide with known occurrences of mineralization on surface. The overlapping signatures continue across the property for ~14 km and are interpreted to represent the mineralized horizon and demonstrates the potential for expanding the resource.\n \n \n \n About the Big Ledge Zinc Project\n \n \n \n The Big Ledge covers 5,093 hectares and is accessible by a forest service road from Highway 23. The mineralization consists of sphalerite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, galena, with lesser chalcopyrite and marcasite hosted in a highly folded assemblage of marble and quartzite known as the \"Ledge Unit\" within the Shuswap metamorphic complex of the Proterozoic Monashee Group. Between 1948 and 1966, a total of 10,060 metres of drilling was completed by Cominco. The drilling intersected up to 60 metres of mineralization. Cominco reported a non-compliant estimated mineral reserve of approximately 100 million tons of 4% zinc (with minor lead), including about 10 million tons of 7% zinc.  (\n \n Esperanza Minerals Ltd.
