Multiple Silver Targets At Ruby Creek Identified

VANCOUVER, BC - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. has identified 3 high priority silver targets at the Ruby Creek Project located 20 kilometers (km) east of Atlin, BC. The prospective silver targets were generated as a result of on-going compilation and review of historic exploration data this past winter by Company geologists along with results from due diligence conducted on the property and a recent SkyTEM airborne geophysical survey.

Dave O'Brien, President and CEO, said: "With the recently completed Technical Report on the gold prospectivity and the historical Adanac molybdenum deposit, the Ruby Creek Project has historically been viewed as a gold and molybdenum property. However, geologist data compilation over the past winter coupled with last year's diligence visits and this year's prospecting programs have highlighted that the silver prospectivity of the property is becoming more evident. Company geologists and field assistants are currently in the process of ground truthing, geological mapping, soil sampling, rock sampling and trenching selected targets. The recently completed SkyTEM airborne geophysical is proving to be a valuable tool in helping to guide the structural interpretation and in prospecting targets within the property. Samples collected thus far have been sent to assay labs in Whitehorse and assay results are expected soon."  

The 26,735-hectare Ruby Creek Project is road accessible and located 20 kilometers (km) east of Atlin, BC. There are 48 different documented mineral occurrences on the Property, of which 16 are gold–related, with 4 active gold placer creeks. The Property also hosts the historic Ruby Creek Molybdenum resource. Stuhini has an option to acquire 100% of the Ruby Creek Project subject to a 1% Net Smelter Royalty.
