ZN Zinccorp Resources Inc.

Zinccorp Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZN)(the "Company") is pleased to announce
that it has completed a 20-day work program at the Michelle Project in
north-central Yukon Territory. Assay results are awaited from 122 rock samples
and four silt samples collected by a two-man prospecting team led by
professional geologist William Mann.


Previous initial exploration at the Michelle Property has revealed zinc, lead,
silver and gallium mineralization in dominantly carbonate form (with minor lead
sulphide) over an area measuring roughly 12 kilometres by 6 kilometres. Fourteen
zones have been discovered to date, with further prospecting expected to
generate additional new discoveries.


One of the objectives of the 2009 sampling program was to confirm and expand the
Civic, Pinpoint and Nanny Zones, all discovered in 2008. This program discovered
a favourably mineralized structure that extends the Civic Zone about 500 metres
uphill to the southeast. A series of samples was collected east of the Pinpoint
Zone in an area of anomalous soil geochemistry on trend with the Dynasty
showing, which may indicate a link between these zones.


The greatest success from the 2009 program was encountered to the west of the
Nanny Zone, where a newly discovered zone of broad weakly mineralized dolomite
breccia was located and found to contain local higher grade material. Some
samples from this zone contain relict galena, in addition to smithsonite and
cerussite (zinc and lead carbonates). The samples collected in 2009 extend the
Nanny Zone about 700m to the west, and expand the width of the zone from about
10 meters to more than 50 meters. It is important to note that this expanded
area was not marked by the abundant orange-brown limonite and goethite that
identifies most of the other zones at Michelle. Instead, a yellowish,
fine-grained soil was developed in this area, with a few small pebbles of
limonite present.


At the OT Zone, the most north-westerly of the zones discovered so far,
additional mineralized float rock was discovered more than one kilometre to the
northwest. The Lac Rob Zone was successfully traced northward into the Dawson
Mining district, and possibly expanded to the west.


In addition to work aimed at extending known zones, several new zones of zinc
mineralization were encountered and sampled, which may become discoveries if
confirmed by laboratory analysis. In particular, a mineralized breccia
associated with a northeast-trending regional-scale fault appears to be
promising and may hold clues to the structural controls on mineralization at
Michelle.


A large volume of weakly mineralized dolomite breccia is present in the areas
examined in 2009 at the Michelle Project. While not likely to be economically
important, these structures may indicate the presence of very large mineralizing
systems that connect the higher grade zones identified by previous sampling.


Zinncorp Resources owns 100% of the Michelle Property.
