PAUFF Shine Minerals Corporation (CE)

PAPUAN PRECIOUS METALS CORPORATION ("PPM" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE: PAU)(OTCQX: PAUFF) announces that it has received the results of the recently completed Mt Suckling airborne magnetic and radiometric geophysical survey. Preliminary interpretation has identified a large 2500m long x up to 750m maximum width north-northeast elongated radiogenic potassium anomaly on the western slopes of the middle reaches of Dimidi Creek, a tributary of the Ada'u River. The potassium anomaly is localized within a similarly oriented trans-island structure referred to as the "Dimidi Trend". Coincident with this potassium anomaly is pannable platinum and gold.

Historical detailed panning/prospecting completed at 500m intervals along the creek by Dr. David Lindley in 1990, and under his supervision by PPM in April 2008, has shown that alluvial platinum and gold is sourced entirely from this anomaly in the middle reaches of Dimidi Creek. Updated maps summarizing the platinum and gold values found can be viewed at;(http://www.ppmpng.com/Dimidi_K_Pt.pdf), (http://www.ppmpng.com/Dimidi_K_Au.pdf)

PPM plans to continue prospecting the Dimidi Creek anomaly with selective traverses, mapping and sampling along the tributaries that flow across the potassium anomaly. In addition, ridge and spur soil sampling along intervening ridges will be carried out. This work will run concurrently with the helicopter supported drilling program planned for Urua Creek during the third and fourth quarters of 2011.

The Mt. Suckling Project

The Mt. Suckling project comprises a cluster of recently PPM-discovered prospects (Urua Creek, Araboro Creek, and Ioleu Creek porphyries; Dimidi Creek-Duna Creek-Muruk platinum-gold prospects which are sourcing alluvial Au and Pt; and the unique Doiriri Creek hydrothermal Ni-PGE prospect). It covers two exploration licenses (EL 1424 and EL 1618: PPM 100%) over 316 km(2) at the eastern end of the Central New Guinea Range, one of the world's premier porphyry copper and precious metals belts.

Further details of the prospects identified to date at the Mt Suckling project are available at (http://www.ppmpng.com/project-mtsuckling.html).
