Zinco Mining Corporation (TSX-V: ZIM, FRA: 61Z) is pleased to announce
that it
has signed a 1500 meter drill contract with Major Drilling de Mexico
S.A. de
C.V. to commence diamond core drilling on its mineral prospects in the
Cuale
volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) camp. The main objective of the
program is
to expand on significant reverse circulation drilling intercepts
from two
prospects, San Juan and Jesus Maria. From San Juan, Zinco's previous
intercepts
include:

   I. ZIM9 with 85.7 meters of 185 g/t Ag, 1.5% Zn and 0.8% Pb,
  II. ZIM3, collared 41 m east-northeast of ZIM9, with 108.1 meters of 58
      g/t Ag, 1.4% Zn and 0.7% Pb.
 III. ZIM1, collared 135 m north-northeast of ZIM9, with 14.3 meters of
      127 g/t Ag, 2.9% Zn and 0.9% Pb.
  IV. ZIM5, collared 215 m north-northeast of ZIM9, with 25.5 meters of
      72 g/t Ag, 0.4% Zn and 0.2% Pb.

From Jesus Maria, the 2008 campaign returned results of:
   I. ZIM30 with 41.82 meters of 5% Zn, 1.4% Pb, 0.2% Cu and 14 g/t Ag,
  II. ZIM19, collared 170 meters southwest of ZIM30, with 17.34 meters of
      4.2% Zn, 1.6% Pb, 0.1% Cu and 5 g/t Ag,
 III. ZIM16, collared 40 meters southwest of ZIM30, with 17.34 meters of
      4.9% Zn, 0.1% Pb, 0.2% Cu and 5 g/t Ag.

Plan maps and cross-sections of these results are on Zinco's
website at
http://www.zincomining.com/s/Mineralization.asp.

The two areas of interest are characterized by multiple intersections of
VMS-
style mineralization and have grades of economic interest, with zinc and
silver
dominating the polymetallic assemblage. Diamond drilling is being
initiated at
both sites to test for physical continuity of the mineralization
identified by
the earlier reverse circulation drilling program. The company has been
active in
camp preparation and drill pad preparation in anticipation of diamond
drilling
commencing in the near future.
