Stina Reports 4.5 km Soil Anomaly From Dime Soil and Trench Results
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/11/10 -- Stina Resources Ltd. ('the Company') (TSX VENTURE: SQA) reports very encouraging results for recently received analytical data for over 2500 grid auger soil samples on the Dime Property in the Yukon. GPS controlled soil lines were completed over a north-south trending grid in June and July 2010. The 2010 grid is an extension of a smaller grid on the western side of the property completed in 2009 (624 samples), which confirmed a previously reported gold in soil anomaly first reported by Teck Corporation in 2000 (Pautler, 2001).
The soil anomaly now extends over 4.5 km in an east west direction and consists of three separate soil anomalies.

Western Anomaly: First reported by Teck Corporation, measures approximately 1.3 km long by 750 m wide, has a general east-west trend and includes values up to 578 ppm As and 6,092 ppb Au;
Central Anomaly: 1.6 km long by 350 m wide area of anomalous gold (up to 147 ppb Au), arsenic (values up to 1,975 ppm As) and weaker lead in soil values (up to 49 ppm Pb). This anomaly is offset to the north from the Western and Eastern anomalies;
Eastern Anomaly: This anomaly measures 1.8 km long by up to 900 m wide and consists of an Au (values up to 894 ppb Au), As (values up to 1,070 ppm As) and Pb (values up to 167 ppm Pb) geochemical signature.
Preliminary interpretation relates the soil geochemical anomalies to E-W and N-NW trending magnetic anomalies. There appears to be left lateral offsets on the N-NW trending magnetic anomalies.
Results from continuous five-meter chip samples on the Western zone anomaly have also been received and a 30 m zone of silicified metasedimentary rocks in Trench 2 returned 0.168 gm/t Au between 5-35 m. Additional trenching and sampling is underway over fractured and silicified granite on the Eastern Anomaly, and drilling targets are being established for August 2010.
There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource on the Dime Property, and it is uncertain as to whether, or not, further exploration will result in the discovery of a Mineral Resource on the property.
