Zinccorp Resources: 2009 Summer Exploration Program to Expand on 2008 Discoveries

Zinccorp Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZN) (the "Company") is pleased to announce
that its 2009 exploration program will evaluate multiple targets generated by
last year's prospecting program at the Michelle Property in Yukon Territory.


Eight new lead-zinc zones were discovered by a "boots-on-the-ground" prospecting
program conducted in 2008, along with several unexamined and untested silt and
soil anomalies that warrant follow-up exploration. Some of these discoveries
contain locally high values of silver and gallium, while others have potential
for elevated germanium and indium. The high levels of these elements makes the
Michelle Project exceptional among similar lead-zinc deposits found in the
Canadian Cordillera.


The 2009 work program is designed to confirm, expand and extend the mineralized
zones and favourable trends and in some cases, measure and map the zones for the
first time. The program will be under the direction of William Mann, a
Yukon-based geologist with extensive experience in all aspects of mining and
mineral exploration. 


The mineralization at the Michelle Property is subtle, with white-on-white
minerals, which is why the extensively mineralized district was not previously
recognized by helicopter-supported reconnaissance programs. Conventional
prospecting has proven to be very successful at finding new mineralized zones
and showings.


Four new showings that received only minimal sampling last year will be further
sampled this year. Among the prime targets is the Nanny showing, which returned
the best grades for lead and silver. Samples collected from some of the other
showings were of obvious high-iron leached cap material, therefore these zones
will require further sampling to detect more subtle in-situ or supgergene
mineralization that may contain higher grades.


Along with these early-stage targets, exploration is planned to test the
potential for other known zones to continue further into the Dawson District.
These include the Peak and Dynasty Zones and the newly discovered Rob Zone,
which has been tested with only three samples to date. Additional silt sampling
is planned where sampling gaps exist, along with soil geochemical sampling in
favourable under-explored areas.


The OT area on the northern side of the property will be thoroughly explored for
additional showings and to better understand the geology and setting of the
zone. 


Previous exploration at the Michelle Property included a 23-hole exploratory
drilling program that tested the Peak and Gully zones. Highlights include a
9.40-meter interval grading 5.36% zinc, 16.36% lead, 152 g/t silver and 870 ppm
(parts per million) gallium from the Gully Zone and a 2.95-meter interval from
the Peak Zone that returned 0.55% zinc, 15.18% lead, 2,133.9 g/t silver and 25
ppm gallium.
