Company

i")
(TSXV: STU) is pleased to announce that is has now completed its SkyTEM airborne geophysical
program on both the Que Project in the
Yukon Territory
and the Ruby Creek Project in
British
Columbia
. The Company has also commenced a small diamond drill program on the Que project.
SkyTEM Airborne Geophysical Program
: The recently completed survey was conducted on
selected portions of the Ruby Creek and Que projects. The final survey consisted of approximately
1,400 line-kilometres (lkm) of which 425 lkm were flown at the Que Project and 975 lkm were flown
at the Ruby Creek Project. Company geophysicist
Todd Ballantyne
will be reviewing and compiling
results from the geophysical survey and a detailed report on this program is anticipated within 6-8
weeks. A significant portion of this year's upcoming exploration program at both the Que and Ruby
Creek Projects will be ground truthing geophysical targets generated by the survey with the plan to
drill high priority targets.
Que Project Drill Program
: The Company has commenced a small 2-hole diamond drill program at
its Camp Gossan target at the Que Project. The drill targets were chosen due to road accessibility
and based upon geophysical anomalies generated from preliminary data interpretation of the
recently completed geophysical program.
Dave O'Brien
, President and CEO of Stuhini stated" We are pleased with the preliminary results of
the SkyTEM geophysical survey as it has generated multiple follow-up targets at both the Que and
Ruby Creek Projects. The preliminary results indicated electro-magnetic anomalies in the Camp
Gossan area that were not identified by historic drilling. Given the easy road access, available drill
rig and encouraging geophysics, it was decided to commence a small, inexpensive drill program."
Ruby Creek Project
: The 26,735-hectare Ruby Creek Project is road accessible and located 20
kilometres (km) east of
Atlin BC
. There are 48 different documented mineral occurrences on the
Property, of which 16 are gold–related, with 4 active gold placer creeks. The Property also hosts
