VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 14, 2013) - Zincore Metals Inc. (TSX:ZNC)(LMA:ZNC) ("Zincore", the "Company") reports that in order to further preserve cash, the Company is initiating new cost-cutting measures, including a reduction of office space both in Vancouver and Lima, as well as salary, fee and staff reductions. As part of this initiative, Dr. David Terry will be relinquishing his post as VP, Exploration, but will continue to act as a technical advisor to the Company.

Zincore President and CEO, Jorge Benavides, commented "Cuts like the ones we are making are never easy. However, we need to do all that we can to preserve funds so that we have the best chance possible to realize the value from our projects."
