Stuhini Exploration Reports Assay Results from its 2018 Sampling Program on the Metla
Property.
VANCOUVER
,
July 8, 2019
/CNW/ - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the "Company" or "Stuhini") (TSX.V:
STU) is pleased to announce that it has now received assay results from its summer 2018 sampling
program conducted on its 6457 hectare and 100% owned Metla Property. The property is located in
northwestern
British Columbia
30 kilometers northwest of the past producing
Golden Bear
gold mine
(15,044,867 grams of gold and 1,716,107 grams of silver, Minfile Report
104K
079), and 20
kilometres southeast of Brixton Metals' Au-Cu-Ag Thorn project.
In the spring of 2018, Geotech Ltd flew a VTEM Airborne Geophysical Survey for the Company. The
purpose of the 2018 field program was to follow up on identified VTEM anomalies in and around the
Metla Creek Area (MCA) and the newly identified VTEM anomaly east of the MCA (MC-east)
anomaly. A Stuhini geological field crew was actively working on the Metla Property for 11 days in
August. A total of 36 rock grab samples were collected from both the MCA and MC-East areas.
Highlights from the sampling are shown in the table below.

Samples are anomalous in gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, arsenic, cadmium, and
mercury. Identified sulphides include chalcopyrite, bornite, sphalerite, galena and arsenopyrite.
Highlights include 9 samples returning gold values greater than 0.25 g/t with a maximum of 9.96 g/t;
9 samples returning silver values greater than 8 g/t with a maximum of 45.5 g/t; 11 samples
returning copper values greater than 300 ppm with a maximum of 3284 ppm. Assays of up to 3441
ppm lead and 6.33% zinc have also been reported.
The majority of samples in the MCA area consisted of hydrothermal breccia with a quartz-sulphide
matrix and predominately limestone clasts or semi-massive to disseminated sulfides in quartz veins
proximal to the brecciated zone. Samples from Zone B in the MCA area consisted of stratiform
massive sulfides within black shale which extended towards Zone C.
Sampling in the MC-east anomaly returned anomalous gold values from sulfide bearing, vuggy quartz
boulders. Two samples assayed 1.04g/t and 0.25 g/t gold respectively.
