Sabina Gets High Grade Zinc and Silver Assays From 2005 Expansion Drilling at Hackett River, Nunavut

Thunder Bay, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)

- Shares Issued: 36,524,244
Sabina Resources Limited (Berlin: RXC, Frankfurt: RXC, TSX-V: SBB)
is pleased to present assays from recent 2005 drilling at its
100%-owned Hackett River Property, Nunavut. Sabina is presently
engaged in the second phase of a CDN$12 Million exploration campaign
at Hackett River. The 2005 program is focused on expansion of the
Boot Lake, East Cleaver and main "A" Zone deposit areas.
Sabina expended a total of CDN$7 Million at Hackett River in 2004
thereby earning a 100% interest in the Hackett River Project subject
to Earn-Back rights or a 2% NSR royalty held by Cominco Mining
Partnership (CMP), an affiliate of Teck Cominco Limited. CMP declined
to exercise its initial earn-back right leaving Sabina with a 100%
interest in the Hackett River Project pending completion of an
additional CDN$5 Million expenditure. Upon completion of the
additional CDN$5 Million expenditure, CMP has 90 days to exercise its
alternate earn-back right to acquire a 60% interest in the Hackett
River Project. Terms include paying Sabina CDN$1 Million cash with
its election notice, funding all expenditures to the completion of a
bankable feasibility study and paying to Sabina an additional sum of
CDN$1 Million cash upon completion of the feasibility study. Should
CMP terminate its right to earn back an interest in the Hackett River
Project, it shall retain a 2% NSR in the project.
Initial 2005 assay values of up to 10.09% Zinc and 229.9 g/T
Silver (6.68 oz Ag/short ton) over 23.1m may indicate the discovery
of a new lens of mineralisation at the Boot Lake Deposit. The results
add significant zinc and silver-rich potential tonnage and grade onto
the west margin of known massive sulphide mineralisation at a
potentially open-pittable 200m to 250m vertical depth. A second drill
at the Main "A" Zone deposit has expanded the known extent of
significant footwall copper grades in the west limb area yielding up
to 2.85% Copper over 10.6m. All three main deposit areas including
East Cleaver are open to expansion and will be further tested in
2005.
Wardrop Engineering Inc. is providing independent professional
services to Sabina in preparation of an updated NI 43-101 mineral
resource estimate for all results up to and including 2004 drilling,
to be released early in the 3rd Quarter, 2005. Wardrop will
subsequently update the resource estimate with 2005 drill results and
provide recommendations to Sabina for advancing the Hackett River
project to a production pre-feasibility assessment.

Main A Zone Deposit
The Hole SHR-05-04 intersection is located in the western
extension of the West Limb of the "A" Zone (also called the Main
Zone) where zinc and silver-rich massive sulphide mineralisation in
the main deposit is underlain by a thick copper enriched zone
characteristic of a volcanogenic massive sulphide feeder zone.
