Stuhini to attend PDAC and Metals Investor Forum and Provides Corporate Update

VANCOUVER, BC, Feb. 28, 2024 /CNW/ - Stuhini Exploration Ltd. (the "Company" or "Stuhini") (TSXV: STU) (OTCQB: STXPF) is pleased to announce it will be attending both the Prospectors and Developers Conference ("PDAC") and Metals Investor Forum ("MIF") in Toronto in early March, and wishes to provide a Corporate update on its Ruby Creek Project ("Project") and explorations plans for 2024.

Exploration

The Company plans to conduct geophysical work to help delineate drill targets on the Volcanic Creek molybdenum porphyry target located 4 km north of its flagship Ruby Creek molybdenum deposit (see news release dated November 28, 2023).

Exploring Opportunities Within the Sector

Given Stuhini's present cash balance and the current challenging environment in the mineral exploration sector, the Company is reviewing and considering other opportunities within the sector.

Successful Ruby Creek Permit Change of Ownership

Stuhini also wishes to announce that it has received notification from the British Columbia ("BC") Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Emission ("EMLI") of the Ruby Creek Permit # M-231 Amendment, approving change of ownership from the previous operator, Global Drilling Solutions, to Stuhini. This successful permit transfer permit pertains to Stuhini's early completion of the Ruby Creek Option agreement whereby the Company now owns 100% of the Project (see news release dated June 6, 2023).

Environmental Baseline Review

The Company recently completed a desk-based review of existing environmental and heritage resource information and data to inform the potential initiation of select field studies for the Project. The Environmental Assessment Certificate ("EAC") that was granted to the previous operator for the Ruby Creek Molybdenum Project in 2006 has lapsed and since that time, Federal and Provincial legislation, regulations, policies and guidance have undergone significant changes. The Company engaged Environmental Dynamics Inc (EDI) to outline these changes and how they affect the Project's permitting, including baseline environmental programs, development, and operations. The Company will use this information to guide future work on the Project.

Critical Minerals Discussion paper

The Company applauds the EMLI keynote AMEBC Roundup speech, specifically mentioning molybdenum ("Mo") and its importance as a critical metal in the green economy of BC. Prior to the announcement, Stuhini made a submission to the BC government reminding EMLI that BC was the only producer of Mo within Canada and requesting that Mo be considered as a green energy constituent that is eligible for enhanced tax credits provincially and for the assistance of EMLI in getting Mo eligible for enhanced federal tax credits as well.

Dave O'Brien, Stuhini's President and CEO commented: "Given current market conditions and our $1.4 million cash balance, we are taking a measured approach to exploration while at the same time investigating new opportunities to leverage our share structure and cash on hand."

About Volcanic Creek Molybdenum Target

The Company acquired the Volcanic Creek Molybdenum target by staking 848.1 hectares ("ha") in 1 new claim block contiguous to the north of its existing Ruby Creek tenures in February 2023 (see February 17, 2023 new release). The new claim, which was consolidated into the Company's Ruby Creek Project, is situated in the headwaters of Volcanic Creek and is referred to as the "Volcanic Creek Moly" showing in BC Minfiles. Previous historic exploration work reported mineralization at surface and includes two drill holes drilled by Placer Development Ltd. in 1981. Hole DDH 81-1 intersected 24.38 m of 0.066% molybdenum disulfide ("MoS2") (0.040% Mo) starting at a depth of 33.53 m, including 6.10 m of 0.14 MoS2 (0.082 % Mo). A follow up program of prospecting in the summer of 2023 reported 9 rock grab samples taken with grades ranging from 0.017% Mo to 1.01% Mo, and mineralized outcrops with up to 900 meters distance between them.

Ruby Creek Project

The 31,126-hectare Ruby Creek Project is road accessible and located 14 kilometres (km) east of Atlin, BC. There are 48 different documented mineral occurrences on the Property, of which 16 are gold-related, with 7 significant gold placer creeks.
