Zincore Intersects Good Copper and Molybdenum Mineralization at Dolores Porphyry Project, Including 0.49% Cu Eq(i) Over 72.4 Metres

Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX: ZNC)(BVLAC: ZNC)

is pleased to report assay results from eight drill holes at the Company's 100%-owned, Dolores copper-molybdenum porphyry property located in the prolific Yauri-Andahuaylas Copper District in southern Peru.

Highlights include: 0.32% Cu Eq(i) over 144.4 metres, including 0.49% Cu Eq(i) over 72.4 metres in hole DOL-9; 0.29% Cu Eq(i) over 116 metres in hole DOL-10; and 0.20% Cu Eq(i) over 33.7 metres in hole DOL-7. To view a complete list of Dolores drill results, please see Table 1 below.

Zincore CEO and President, Jorge Benavides, commented, "This first drill program at Dolores has intersected excellent copper and molybdenum mineralization in six of the ten holes drilled, including very good grades and widths in holes DOL-2, 9, and 10(ii). We also intersected favourable copper and molybdenum mineralization in holes DOL-6, 7 and 8. (Hole DOL-7 was abandoned in the altered and mineralized porphyry with anomalous values of copper and molybdenum when the drill hole intersected an aquifer). We believe that the relative proximity and similarity of mineralization in these six holes is strong evidence of a large porphyry system focused south of the currently drilled area. We are encouraged by this prospect given the scope (Holes DOL-6 and 9 are about one and a half kilometres apart with holes DOL-2, 7, 8 and 10 lying in between) and the fact that this area remains largely open and unexplored."
