Vancouver, Canada – October 13th, 2021 – Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the “Company” or Stuhini”) (TSX-V: STU) is pleased to provide an update on its ongoing 2021 exploration work at the Ruby Creek Project (the “Project” or “Property”) located 20 kilometres (km) east of Atlin, BC.
2021 Exploration Results include the following:
Additional mineralized structures were identified in the Silver Surprise area with similar textures and mineralogy as the original discovery where 2020 sampling yielded silver (Ag) assays of 391 g/t up to 14,179 g/t (2021 assays pending).
Multiple mineralized structures were identified in the Daybreak area, 3 km southwest of Silver Surprise, where 2020 sampling yielded assays of 772 g/t Ag (2021 assays pending).
Completion of grid soil sampling program over the Birch Creek, Boulder Creek and Lakeview area with over 2200 samples collected (assays pending).
Contour soil sampling in the Silver Surprise area with 57 samples collected (assays pending).
Soil gas hydrocarbon (SGH) sampling in Ruby Creek, totaling 166 samples, covering the area between historic gold-bearing drill holes AD-390 and AD-393 (76.2 metres (m) of 0.15 g/t gold (Au) and 0.42 g/t Ag and 73.2 m of 0.21 g/t Au and 0.28 g/t Ag, respectively).
0.96 square km of 3D Induced Polarization Geophysics (3D IP) encompassing the identified silver bearing Adera Structure, the southwestern portion of the historic Ruby Creek molybdenum (Mo) deposit and 400 m southwest of the current resource where historic drilling has not closed off the deposit (e.g. AD-417 drilled in 2008 assayed 0.052 % Mo over 76.2 m starting at the top of bedrock, and 45 m of 0.23% Mo to the end of hole from 355 m to 400 m).
