(TSX VENTURE:TAU)(OTCQX:TINTF) (\"Tintina\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to give an update on the Black Butte Project and announce our new website focusing on development of the Johnny Lee copper deposit, one of the world's highest grade copper deposits. The website, www.blackbuttecopper.com, includes details of the underground mining project such as plans for the underground workings, surface sites, closure, and complete reclamation. The site includes an overview of measures for environmental protection, explains our commitment to the community and hosts an information center including a transparency library. It also highlights several videos explaining the project including a 3D animation showing what the site will look like before and during mining operations and after reclamation. The Montana Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is currently evaluating Tintina's application for a mine operating permit for 'Completeness and Compliance'. Once the DEQ finds the application 'complete and compliant', the DEQ will select an independent third party to conduct a full Environmental Impact Study. An opportunity for public review and comment will follow the study. Bruce Hooper, CEO stated, \"We are diligently working with the DEQ to provide the information needed to make a determination of Completeness and Compliance. We encourage everyone to review the details and benefits of our proposal by visiting our new website and touring the project when traveling through White Sulphur Springs.\" Jerry Zieg, VP of Exploration closed by stating, \"I'm pleased to be able to share our new website with the public.
