Lithic Launches InZinc Mining Ltd. and a Renewed Focus on One of North America's Larger and Best Located Zinc Resources

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired - Feb. 18, 2014) - Lithic Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:LTH) is pleased to announce that it has changed its name to InZinc Mining Ltd. (the "Company"). The Company's new name and new trading symbol "IZN" will take effect at the start of trading on the TSX Venture Exchange on February 19, 2014, subject to Exchange approval. There is no share consolidation and no corporate reorganization accompanying the Company's name change.

"Our new name, InZinc Mining, reflects the Company's renewed confidence in the economic and development potential of our 100% owned West Desert Project in western Utah," stated Chris Staargaard, President and CEO of InZinc. "Global zinc supply is expected to undergo a significant decrease over the next few years due to the planned closure of a number of large, end-of-life zinc mines. InZinc is positioning itself to help fill that supply gap by advancing West Desert into an efficient mid-tier zinc producer in mining-friendly Utah."

West Desert hosts significant zinc-copper-indium resources with associated massive, high-grade iron (magnetite) mineralization. The Company expects to complete a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) for West Desert in the current quarter. The PEA is evaluating new opportunities and improvements at West Desert, including a potential additional source of revenue from significant amounts of by-product iron (magnetite) generated from the processing of zinc-copper-indium resources. Metallurgical testwork completed in 2013 (May 21, 2013 news release) showed that a marketable, high-grade iron (magnetite) concentrate can potentially be produced as a co-product with zinc and copper concentrates using cost effective and conventional processing techniques.

The name change to InZinc Mining will not impact existing Lithic Resources share certificates. As this is a one-for-one name change (with no share consolidation), shareholders are not required to tender their old certificates in exchange for new.
