InZinc Highlights the Silver and Copper-Zinc Potential at West Desert Project
InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX -V: IZN) (“InZinc” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide results of its review with respect
to project advancement strategies at the Company’s 100% owned We st Desert zinc project in Utah. The review
highlights the potential for silver -rich zinc mineralization in addition to copper-rich zinc mineralization in an untested
area extending over 650 m east of the WD zinc de posit. Also, the large zinc resources contained in the WD deposit
and outlined in the 2014 Preliminary Economic Assessment remain open for expansion in several directions.
The exploration potential east of the WD deposit is based, in part, on the presence of multiple silver rich intersections
and a high grade copper-zinc massive sulphide intersection in historical drill hole CC -43, which was drilled below a
past-producing silver mine located 650 m east of the deposit. As th is area of exploration potential coincides with
underground development plans designed in the PEA, future drilling will be a priority.
Maps detailing the West Desert exploration potential can be found at this link:
Silver Potential
Silver mineralization on the property includes numerous surface occurrences and past producing mines collectively
described as t he historic Fish Springs Mining District. The district included s everal operations including the U tah
Silver mine, which produced 2.7 million ounces of silver, operated until 1950 and is located 650 m east of the WD
zinc deposit. The proximity of the Utah Silver mine to the WD zinc deposit, its enriched precious metal content and
the depth extent of this mineralization are of key interest. Silver is not currently included in the resources comprising
the WD zinc deposit.
Silver in Historical Drill Hole CC-43
In 1980, Utah Mines completed drill hole CC -43 which targeted the depth extension of silver mineralization at the
historic Utah Silver mine, 650 m east of the WD zinc deposit. The drill hole intersected several silver -rich zinc zones
which were interpreted to represent the depth extens ion of silver mineralization at the Utah Silver mine and the
Emma-Vulcan workings located several hundred meters further east.
Drill hole CC-43 intersections* included:
5.1 oz/t Ag, 6.8% Zn over 4.9 m at 460 m below surface
and
6.0 oz/t Ag, 1.0% Zn over 1.8 m at 690 m below surface
Similar silver enriched mineralization has also been intersected in drilling at the upper east portion of the WD zinc
deposit. This is highlighted by a drill hole completed in 2008 ( CC08-11) which returned 7.4 oz/t Ag, 4.3% Zn over
10.8 m at 200 m below surface. The 650 m area between the silver rich intersections in CC -43 and the upper eastern
portion of the WD zinc deposit is untested by drilling.
Copper Rich Massive Sulphide in Historical Drill Hole CC-43
Drill hole CC – 43 continued below the highlighted silver rich intersections where it intersected* 7.6 m of sulphide
mineralization, with a core of massive sulphide grading:
7.6% Zn, 3.5% Cu and 1.0 oz/t Ag over 3.1 m at 800 m below surface
This mineralization is similar to the sulphide mineralization comprising the WD zinc deposit but contains considerably
higher copper content ( WD zinc deposit average grades include approximately 0.22% copper). The 650 m area

between the copper-rich zinc intersection in CC-43 and the known eastern margin of the WD zinc deposit is untested
by drilling.
Exploration Program
The Company is designing an exploration program, incorporating wide-spaced drilling, with three objectives:
• Explore silver-rich zinc mineralization east of the WD zinc deposit and below the Utah Silver mine
• Explore for copper and zinc rich massive sulphides east of the WD zinc deposit
• Test for extensions of the WD zinc deposit to the east
Geophysical surveys will be an initial compon ent of the program, supporting target selection and corresponding drill
hole locations over the exploration area.
About InZinc
InZinc is focused on growth in zinc through exploration and expansion of the advanced stage West Desert project
(100%) in Utah and exploration of the early stage Indy project (100% option) in British Columbia. West Desert has a
large underground resource open for expansion and has district scale e xploration potential. A West Desert
preliminary economic assessment completed in 2014 forecast ed 1.6 billion pounds of zinc production over 15 years.
Indy comprises both near surface exploration targets and regional discovery potential . Both zinc projects are well
located with easy access and existing infrastructure.
