Zincore Drilling Confirms Mineralized Copper-Molybdenum Porphyry System at Dolores

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 3, 2011) - Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX:ZNC)(BVLAC:ZNC) ("Zincore" or the "Company") is pleased to report the first drill assay results from the Company's 100%-owned, Dolores copper-molybdenum porphyry property located in the prolific Yauri-Andahuaylas copper district in southern Peru. Highlights include consistent and evenly distributed copper and molybdenum mineralization throughout the length of Hole DOL-2, including 0.27% copper equivalent over 297 metres.

Zincore President and CEO, Jorge Benavides, commented, "These results exceeded our expectations for this early stage of the Dolores drill program. On the second hole we intersected consistent and evenly distributed copper and molybdenum mineralization from just below the surface (at about 18 metres) and extending to 315 metres with no zero grade intervals. This is classic porphyry–style mineralization. The grade, as well as the homogeneous distribution, confirm 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. Zincore will aggressively pursue the exploration of Dolores with the objectives of localizing the higher grade core of the system and developing an understanding of the potential size of the deposit."

2. Copper Equivalent Total calculated using TD Newcrest long term prices of US$2.25/lb copper and US$15.00/lb molybdenum. Metallurgical recoveries and net smelter returns are assumed to be 100%.

No significant values were intercepted for Hole DOL-1, which is located almost two kilometres from Hole DOL-2, and cut what is believed to be a younger, unmineralized intrusive within the Dolores system.

Hole DOL-2 is on the southeastern edge of the porphyry system where higher copper anomalies were originally found in rock chip samples. Mineralization is hosted in a quartz diorite porphyry and is open in all directions. Molybdenum mineralization is also evenly distributed along the entire length of the hole and adds significant value. In addition to the porphyry mineralization, copper-rich contact skarn mineralization identified from surface outcrops was targeted at depth in drill hole DOL-2. However, DOL-2 intersected porphyry hosted mineralization to a depth of 450 metres before drilling was stopped short of its planned depth, due to a fault zone. Preparations are underway to drill another hole that will intersect the continuation of this mineralization including the surface projected skarn mineralization past the fault contact.

Results for Holes DOL-1 and DOL-2 are the first in a ten hole drill program. DOL-3 has also been completed and the Company is awaiting results. Holes DOL-4 and DOL-5 are currently being drilled.

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 copperand 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.
