Sultan Minerals Discovers and Samples 800 Metres of Historical Drill Core at its Kena Gold Property, BC

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/10 -- Sultan Minerals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: SUL)(FRANKFURT: RZN) ('Sultan') is pleased to report that field surveys, under the supervision of P&L Geological Services of Kamloops, BC, are currently underway on its Kena Gold-Copper Property, located in southeastern British Columbia.

In July, Sultan completed an IP geophysical survey of the Kena Copper Zone on the property. The survey successfully defined a continuous six kilometre long geophysical anomaly trending south from the Gold Mountain and Kena Gold Zones to the south end of the Kena Copper Zone (see News Release dated July 20, 2010). Geophysical modeling and field geological studies suggest the anomaly is reflecting sulphide mineralization emplaced in a strongest and laterally persistent deformation zone that runs north-westerly across the property (see News Release dated September 9, 2009).

The current field surveys are designed to accurately locate diamond drill targets over this extensive geophysical target. Studies completed to date show that all significant showing and four historic gold mines on the property are associated with areas of strong IP geophysical response (to see map please click on: http://www.sultanminerals.com/i/maps/Aug11-NR-map.jpg). The program has also discovered that several historic diamond drill holes from previous exploration programs intersected the margins of the geophysical anomaly but in many cases were only partially assayed or were not assayed for copper. Sultan has now located, sampled and sent for assay approximately 800 metres of un-sampled diamond drill core remaining from the historical programs. Copper and gold assays for these drill holes are anticipated in approximately 3 weeks.

Present studies are focusing on the Kena Copper and Kena Gold zones but work may extend into the adjacent Gold Mountain zone. The planned diamond drill program is expected to commence at the end of August.
