Selkirk Metals Corp.: Ruddock Creek Project 43-101 Resource Estimate
20 Luglio 2009 - 1:00PM
Marketwired Canada
Selkirk Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SLK) ("Selkirk" or the "Company") is pleased
to provide this 43-101 compliant resource for the E Zone on the Ruddock Creek
Property, British Columbia. The report, dated July 15, 2009, entitled "Mineral
Resource Estimate Ruddock Creek Project - Kamloops Mining Division, British
Columbia", was prepared by Ronald G. Simpson, P.Geo. of GeoSim Services Inc. and
Jim Chapman, P. Geo., "qualified persons" for the purposes of National
Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
The following table shows the indicated and inferred tonnages and grades at a
range of cutoff grades. Metal prices used in the determination of the base case
cut-off grade were $0.85/lb for zinc and $0.65/lb for lead. The E Zone remains
open down plunge to the west and additional drilling is expected to
significantly increase the tonnage of this resource.

Note: (i) indicates Base Case Scenario.
Block grades were estimated using ordinary kriging constrained by zone domains.
Three kriging passes with incremental search distances were implemented. Blocks
estimated in the first two passes using a maximum anisotropic search distance of
31m were classified as indicated. Blocks estimated in the 3rd pass using a
maximum anisotropic search distance of 100m were classified as inferred.
The E Zone has now been defined from surface outcrop down plunge for a length of
approximately 1.2 kilometers. The E Zone is the only one of the 8 known
mineralized zones on the property that has been drilled in sufficient detail to
estimate a resource. It is located at the eastern end of the "Ruddock Creek
Sulphide Horizon" (the "Horizon"), which has been defined in sufficient detail
to confirm lateral continuity over a length of approximately 5 kilometers in an
east-west direction. Along the Horizon, significant zones of mineralization
include the Creek, T, U, V and Q Zones. In addition to historic exploration,
which resulted in the discovery of these zones, Selkirk has conducted surface
mapping, sampling, airborne, ground and bore hole geophysical surveys, and to
date, limited diamond drilling on the Creek, U and Q Zones. Selkirk has
completed 97 surface holes and 32 underground holes totaling 25,688 meters on
the Property since 2004, in addition to the 7,244 meters of historical drilling
carried out by Falconbridge and Cominco.
Every exploration program that has been conducted by Selkirk over the past 4
years has been successful in continuing to expand and define the high grade
zinc, lead massive sulphide deposit within the Ruddock Creek Property. Company
management will strive to continue this excellent record of success and to build
upon the resource that has been currently defined within the Property.
The goal of future exploration programs will be to define additional tonnages of
this mineralization both within the E Zone and in the other known zones along
the trace of the Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon. Any additional resources will
obviously add significant value to the Property, potentially increasing the mine
life of any planned operation, and enhancing shareholder value. The 40 man camp
with related shop, storage and core logging and processing facilities onsite is
presently being reopened for the 2009 field program.

Person (as defined by NI 43-101), Jim Miller-Tait, P.Geo., Vice President of
Exploration. A full text version of the Ruddock Creek Property resource estimate
