Yukon Zinc Corporation is a Canadian base-precious metal exploration and development company advancing its 100% owned Wolverine zinc-silver project into mine production. The proven 43-101 Resource and Optimized Feasibility Study are complete and all major permits are in place. Wolverine is expected to be a low cost producer as it contains high grade zinc and an exceptionally large resource of silver along with gold, copper and lead. Mine site construction is expected to continue in 2008 and full production is anticipated for late 2009.

Yukon Zinc is based in Vancouver and trades on the TSX Venture under the symbol YZC. The Company is one of the largest landholders in the Yukon, and has exploration reserves in two of Canada's emerging mining areas, the Finlayson and Rancheria districts.
