InZinc Announces Geophysics Underway in Advance of Drilling at West Desert Project

Vancouver, BC – InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V: IZN) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce a ground geophysical

survey is underway adjacent to and east of the large, underground WD deposit at the Company’s 100% owned West

Desert zinc-copper-iron project in Utah. The survey focuses on an untested area extending 1.4 km to the east of the

WD deposit and containing multiple, historical silver-zinc drill intersections and a copper-zinc rich massive sulphide

intersection located below the historic Utah silver mine. The geophysical survey will assist in target selection for an

upcoming drill program at West Desert. A project management team is in place and drilling is expected to commence

in late March, weather permitting.

Silver and Copper-Zinc Potential

The large zinc resources contained in the WD deposit and outlined in the 2014 Preliminary Economic Assessment

remain open for expansion in several directions. Also, the untested area extending to and beyond a historical drill hole

located 650 m east of the WD deposit has the potential for silver-rich zinc mineralization in addition to copper-rich zinc

mineralization. T he 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 historic Utah silver mine

• Explore for deeper copper and zinc rich massive sulphides east of the WD zinc deposit

• Test for extensions of the WD zinc and indium deposit to the east
