VANCOUVER, BC --(Marketwired - July 04, 2016) - Zincore Metals Inc. (NEX BOARD: ZNC.H) ("Zincore" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has closed the initial tranche of its previously announced private placement of units (the "Private Placement") of the Company. In this initial tranche, the Company has issued an aggregate of 11,036,750 units to exempt buyers at a price of C$0.01/unit, for gross proceeds of C$110,368. Each unit consists of one common share and one common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will entitle the holder to acquire an additional common share at a price of C$0.01 per common share on a pre-consolidation basis for a period of six months from the closing date.

The Private Placement was made pursuant to the granting of a discretionary waiver of the minimum $0.05 pricing requirement of the NEX Board of the TSX Venture Exchange's (the "NEX") policies, whereby the Company has undertaken to complete a five for one share consolidation (the "Consolidation) within 30 days of the closing date of the Private Placement. The Company intends to close the final tranche of the Private Placement shortly.

The proceeds of the Private Placement will be used to pay property taxes in Peru and for working capital requirements.
