Zinc One Enters into Surface Access Agreement with Comunidad Campesina de Yambrasbamba on the Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project

Zinc One Resources Inc. (“Zinc One or theCompany”) is pleased to announce that it has achieved a major milestone by entering into a five-year surface access agreement (the “Surface Access Agreement”) with the Comunidad Campesina de Yambrasbamba (“CCY”) to permit surface access for exploration and development work on the Bongará Zinc-Oxide Mine and Charlotte Bongara Zinc-Oxide Project.
With the Surface Access Agreement signed, Zinc One will immediately commence the process of updating the environmental baseline study within the framework of the current Environmental Impact Assessment; this study is the key component of the drill-platform permit applications, which are planned to be filed during Q3. Zinc One is now in the process of starting the bid process for various services related to the upcoming drill campaign, which is expected to commence in August 2017.
“Reaching an agreement with the Yambrasbamba community is a major milestone for Zinc One and the Bongará Zinc-Oxide Mine Project. The Yambrasbamba community has previously seen the full gamut of mining – from exploration to construction to operations to remediation – which is extremely rare. They are very knowledgeable and not only understand the economic opportunities it will afford the CCY stakeholders, but have seen the overall minimal impact of mining and the benefits of remediation. We are grateful to have such a supportive community and, if the project moves ahead as we expect, then we see the building of the Bongará Zinc Oxide Mine Project as a win for the community, government and company shareholders,” commented James Walchuck, CEO of Zinc One.

About Zinc One Resources Inc.
Zinc One is focused on the acquisition, exploration and development of prospective and advanced zinc projects in mining friendly jurisdictions. Zinc One’s key assets are the past producing Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project and Charlotte Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project in Peru. The Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project was in production from 2007 to 2008, but shut down due to the global financial crisis and concurrent decrease in the zinc price. Past production included zinc grades greater than 20%, all from at or near the surface, and recoveries over 90%; The neighboring Charlotte Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project has multiple near-surface, high-grade zinc-oxide drill intercepts providing numerous drill targets and exploration potential. Zinc One’s business plan is to restart production at the Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project with exploration of targets along a six kilometre strike as well as the Charlotte Bongará Zinc-Oxide Project. Zinc One is managed by a proven team of exploration geologists and engineers having previously constructed and operated successful mining operations.
