Zincore Intersects Good Copper and Molybdenum Mineralization at Dolores Porphyry Project, Including 0.49% Cu Eq(i) Over 72.4 Metres

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Oct. 4, 2011) - Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX:ZNC)(BVLAC:ZNC) ("Zincore" or the "Company") is pleased to report assay results from eight drill holes at the Company's 100%-owned, Dolores copper-molybdenum porphyry property located in the prolific Yauri-Andahuaylas Copper District in southern Peru.

Highlights include: 0.32% Cu Eq(i) over 144.4 metres, including 0.49% Cu Eq(i) over 72.4 metres in hole DOL-9; 0.29% Cu Eq* over 116 metres in hole DOL-10; and 0.20% Cu Eq* over 33.7 metres in hole DOL-7. To view a complete list of Dolores drill results, please see Table 1 below.

Zincore CEO and President, Jorge Benavides, commented, "This first drill program at Dolores has intersected excellent copper and molybdenum mineralization in six of the ten holes drilled, including very good grades and widths in holes DOL-2, 9, and 10(ii). We also intersected favourable copper and molybdenum mineralization in holes DOL-6, 7 and 8. (Hole DOL-7 was abandoned in the altered and mineralized porphyry with anomalous values of copper and molybdenum when the drill hole intersected an aquifer). We believe that the relative proximity and similarity of mineralization in these six holes is strong evidence of a large porphyry system focused south of the currently drilled area. We are encouraged by this prospect given the scope (Holes DOL-6 and 9 are about one and a half kilometres apart with holes DOL-2, 7, 8 and 10 lying in between) and the fact that this area remains largely open and unexplored."

Holes DOL-2, 7, 9, and 10 all intersected moderate potassic alteration in the mineralized diorite porphyry along with moderate to strong quartz veining over significant widths. In addition, holes Dol-6, 7 and 8 intersected wide sections of garnet skarn with anomalous to sub-economic copper values over 4 to 8 metre intervals.

Company geologists have extended the geological mapping and sampling southward in order to better understand the vectors controlling the emplacement of the copper-molybdenum mineralization. This work has confirmed that the altered and mineralized porphyry extends to the south for at least another 1.5km and possibly further. Once the mapping is completed, the Company plans to expand the IP and magnetic geophysical survey coverage over this very prospective ground to help define a second phase diamond drill program.

Mr. Benavides concluded, "The Yauri-Andahuaylas Copper District hosts a number of world class deposits including Xstrata's Tintaya and Las Bambas projects, the Haquira project which was purchased last year by First Quantum Minerals for approximately $460 million and the Constancia project, which was recently purchased by HudBay Mining for approximately C$520 million. The results from the first ten holes drilled at Dolores provide strong evidence that Dolores is a mineralized copper-molybdenum porphyry system with significant potential to become a major new porphyry deposit in a very prolific copper district. As such, Zincore will continue to explore Dolores with the objectives of localizing the higher grade core of the system and developing an understanding of the potential size of the deposit."

Quality Control

Zincore has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in litho geochemical sampling and analysis of rock chips, trench, tunnel and drill core samples.

All drill core samples (approximately one metre, half-core composites) are shipped in security sealed bags via a private trucking company directly to the Acme Laboratories facility in Lima. All samples for the drill program are digested in an aqua regia acid digestion and analyzed for copper and molybdenum with an instrumental finish. In addition, all samples are analyzed for 34 elements by ICP-ES.

The Company submits its own standards and blanks as a measure of the accuracy of the analysis. All pulps and coarse rejects are being recovered and stored.
