/CNW/ - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the "

Company

" or

Stuhin

i")

(TSX-V: STU) is pleased to announce that is has completed its exploration program on the Ruby

Creek Project (the "Property" or the "Project") for the 2020 field season and is currently compiling

the results from various identified targets. The following is a summary of highlights for the Ruffner

Target.

Ruffner Highlights:

119 rock samples collected with 46 samples assaying greater that 25 g/t silver

13 samples assaying greater than 400 g/t silver

2,370 g/t silver from sample #1893100

10.0 g/t gold, 783 g/t silver and over 10% lead from sample #1869659

5.8% Copper, 422 g/t silver and 1.22 g/t gold from sample #1892686

14.8% zinc, 173 g/t silver and 2.6 g/t gold from sample #1997463

Dave O'Brien

, Company President and CEO commented;

"We are very encouraged by the number

of notable silver showings that the Stuhini team were able to uncover in the Ruffner area. This area

comprises only a small portion of the highly prospective Project tenures."

2020 Field Program

:

The 2020 program consisted of Property scale mapping, prospecting and

geochemical sampling of various targets identified in historic work and the 2020 SkyTEM airborne

geophysical survey (Stuhini News Release

June 12, 2020

). Field crews collected a total of 1,186

outcrop and felsenmeer samples and 850 soil samples from the Property. The Company is still

awaiting assay results from several sample batches that were delivered to the Bureau Veritas prep

lab in

Whitehorse, Yukon Territory

, however all samples from the Ruffner Target have been received

and compiled.

Ruffner Target:

The Ruffner Target refers to the approximately 2,500 hectares that make up the

Northwestern portion of the tenures that surround the historic past producing Ruffner Silver Mine. A

total of 119 outcrop and felsenmeer samples were collected from this target (see map below).

Ruffner Area of Interest - 2020 Rock Samles - Anomalous Gold and Silver (CNW Group/Stuhini

Exploration)

Mineralization from the historic Ruffner Silver Mine and the surrounding showings is composed of

quartz-carbonate veins with galena, sphalerite, arsenopyrite and lesser pyrite and chalcopyrite.

These mineralized structures are often associated with mafic dykes hosted within granodiorite and

diorite of the Fourth of July Batholith.

The table below summarizes some of the more noteworthy samples collected from the Ruffner

Zone.

The highest-grade silver sample (#1893100) was collected from a preferentially eroding E-NE

trending structure, northeast of the Ruffner Silver Mine complex. The highest-grade gold sample

(#1869569) assayed 10.0 g/t Au and 783 g/t Ag. Sample #1996081 was collected approximately

750 metres W-SW of, and on strike with the historic Wheelbarrow showing. Results included assays

of up to 5.8% copper, >10% lead and 14.76% zinc with 34 samples greater than 1,000 ppm copper,

55 samples greater than 1,000 ppm lead and 59 samples greater than 1,000 ppm zinc.

Sample station locations were recorded in UTM NAD83 using a hand-held GPS. Sample

descriptions, photographs and representative samples were also collected. Rock material was

collected in poly bags and stored in a secure location under the supervision of Stuhini personnel and

then transported to the Bureau Veritas sample preparation facility located in

Whitehorse, Yukon

Territory

. Samples were crushed and then pulps were sent to the Bureau Veritas lab in

Vancouver

for assay. Four acid digestion and Ultratrace ICP-MS analysis for 59 elements and fire assay for

gold, platinum and palladium was performed on all samples.

Other Targets:

The Company is presently compiling assay data as it comes in from other targets

on the Project and will be reporting further exploration updates as these compilations are completed.

This first Ruffner Target area update will be the first of several updates as this summary only

pertains to approximately 2,500 hectares of the more than 27,000- hectare project.

Extension of Investor Relations Contract:

The Company also wishes to announce that it has

extended its investor relations contract with Nicosia Capital. Further details regarding the investor

relations contract can be found in the Company's news release dated

May 15, 2020
