/CNW/ - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. ("
Stuhini
" or the
"
Company
") (TSXV: STU) and (OTCQB: STXPF) is pleased to provide an outline of its exploration
plans for the 2025 season at the Red Hills Property ("
Red Hills
,
" "
Project,
" or the "
Property
"),
located in
White Pine County, Nevada
. The Company is also pleased to announce it will be attending
the Prospectors and Developers Conference ("
PDAC
") in
Toronto, Ontario
March 2
nd

.
The 2025 Red Hills exploration program will focus on building on the work conducted by previous
operators of the Property. This includes expanding on the detailed geological mapping and
conducting an aeromagnetic survey. The Company's goals for 2025 include identifying new drill
targets and following up on untested targets on historical drilling, which intercepted significant CRD
mineralization (See Stuhini News releases dated
October 28
and
November 19, 2024
). The Project
currently consists of three target areas (Figure 1), referred to as the Rattler, Tiger and Cobra zones
Rattler Zone
The Rattler Zone multi-element anomaly is situated within the west-dipping limestones, dolomites,
and silty carbonate rocks of the Pogonip Group. This anomaly spans approximately
600 m
by
400 m
and features a broad zone of strong multi-element indicators, including elevated gold ("Au") and
silver ("Ag") concentrations in soil samples and mineralized structures.
Several historical workings are present within the Rattler anomaly, including one of the largest in the
Project. While these workings generally align with northwest-trending structures, replacement-style
breccias and structures oriented more parallel to layering in a north-south to northeast direction have
also been observed.
To date, the target area has been tested by four drill holes, three of which reached the target
horizon with the best historic result being 17 metres ("m") of 129.7 grams/tonne ("g/t") Ag, 0.15 g/t
Au, 2.42% lead ("Pb"), 0.92% zinc ("Zn"), including
12 m
of 179.2 g/t Ag, 0.20 g/t Au, 3.29% Pb,
1.18% Zn which tested a shear zone (Figure 2). The table below summarizes the historic drilling
results.
Table 1 (CNW Group/Stuhini Exploration Ltd.)
Tiger Zone
The Tiger Zone is immediately west of the Rattler Zone. The target is defined by multi-element
anomaly over
700 m
of the strike length and exposures of a mineralized shear analogous but sub-
parallel to the Rattler Zone shear zone intercepted in hole 15RHR03. The highest grade rock sample
returned 1535g/t Ag. This target has never been drill-tested (Figure 2).
Cobra Zone
The Cobra Zone is defined by a multi-element soil anomaly and is situated along strike, south of the
Rattler Zone anomaly, within Pogonip Group carbonate sediments. It spans a broad zone measuring
approximately
950 m
by
600 m
. Several historical workings are present within the Cobra Zone target
area. Rock sample returned grades as high as 479 g/t Ag. The target area is also anomalous in
copper mineralization, with malachite and azurite readily observed in spoil piles from old workings.
Three drill holes between 120 and
130 m
in length tested this target but failed to intercept the target
horizon. Another drilling campaign is warranted on this target area to investigate other mineralized
zones and possibly re-test the previously drilled target but from a different location and different drill
azimuth.
