Omineca Commences Surface Geophysical Program at Sully

Omineca Commences Surface Geophysical Program at Sully

Cranbrook, British Columbia CANADA, June 11, 2012 /FSC/ - Omineca Mining and Metals Ltd. (OMM - TSX Venture), has commenced geophysical work at the Sully project, located near Fort Steele in southeastern British Columbia.  As previously announced, Omineca has the option to acquire Gravitas Metals Corp. which in turn holds an option to earn an 80% interest in the Sully Property (see news release March 21st, 2012). The Property hosts a prominent gravity geophysical feature which has been the target of exploration activity to date. As reported on May 22nd, a single drill hole has been completed by Omineca to a depth of 1,234m, (4,049') or an actual vertical depth from surface of approximately 1,061m.

Following completion of the hole, reconnaissance surface and down-hole Volterra Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) geophysical surveys were conducted by SJ Geophysics of Delta, B.C. As a result of this work, a more substantial surface geophysical survey was recommended for the property.  Omineca has recently commenced a 25-line-km survey which will further test the gravity anomaly. Results of this work will be compiled with all existing data to guide future work.

The Sully property comprises rocks of similar age and origin to those which host the famous Sullivan mine, one of the largest sedimentary-exhalative (sedex) deposits in the world that produced silver, zinc, lead, tin and other metals over its 100 year mine life. The parties caution that past results or discoveries on proximate land are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved on the Sully property.

Trygve Hoy, P.Geo has prepared a National Instrument 43-101 compliant report on the Sully property. The report is available on the OMM website at http://ominecamining.com/projects/sully. Paul Ransom, P.Geo, a recognized sedex expert, is hereby identified as the "Qualified Person" as defined by N.I. 43-101 and is responsible for the preparation and content of this news release.
