Zinccorp Resources Acquires Claims Close to Recent West Timmins Mining/Lake Shore Gold Discovery

Zinccorp Resources Inc (TSX VENTURE:ZN) ('Zinccorp') is pleased to announce,
subject to regulatory approval, the acquisition of a 100% interest in the
Whitesides Carscallen and Sewell West properties. These properties continue to
build Zinccorp's gold presence in the West Timmins camp.


The Whitesides Carscallen property consists of 11 claims (123 units) located in
the Whitesides and Carscallen Townships of Porcupine Mining Division. The
property is accessible by road and is approximately 25 km southwest of Timmins.
The property is in the adjacent township to the recent West Timmins Mining/Lake
Shore Gold discovery of 12.75 g/T gold over 83.4 meters. (See West Timmins
Mining news release dated June 24, 2009

The Sewell West property consists of 10 claims (143 units) and is also
accessible by road. It is located approximately 35 km southwest of Timmins,
Ontario. This property abuts Amador Gold Corp.'s Sewell property, to the west.


"The acquisition of these properties in close proximity to one of the most
exciting gold projects in the industry only adds to Zinccorp's already dynamic
property portfolio. With the recent completion of our summer exploration program
on our silver/lead/zinc Michelle project in the Yukon, on which we are currently
awaiting assays, we are now able to focus on bringing forward our newly acquired
Ontario properties," comments Company President, Richard Hughes.


Consideration for each of the properties consists of $105,000 and $75,000 in
cash or the equivalent value in shares (or a combination of cash and shares), as
well as 400,000 shares, all payable over four years. (A further 100,000 shares
are to be issued following the completion of a positive feasibility study).
There is a 3% net smelter return payable, one-third (1%) of which may be
purchased for $1,000,000.


Both properties occur along or are adjacent to what may be a splay off the
prolific gold-bearing Destor Porcupine Fault Zone ('DPFZ'). The DPFZ hosts the
world famous Timmins gold camp as well as other gold deposits in the
Harker-Holloway area of Ontario. Potential for gold mineralization may be
evidenced by historical gold-bearing quartz boulders found down glacial
ice-direction of the properties.


The Company is currently completing a map which will be released along with more
information about the properties next week.
