Callinex Mines Inc. provided an exploration update on the upcoming winter drilling campaign at the company's 100% owned Pine Bay Project, located near HudBay's 777 mine and processing facilities in Flin Flon, Manitoba. The Campaign is planned to follow-up on success from the 2015 exploration campaign, which included a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) discovery adjacent to the company's Sourdough Deposit. The objective of the 2016 campaign is to identify additional high-grade VMS mineralization rich in copper, zinc, gold and silver.

The company plans to focus the Campaign on areas of the Pine Bay Project that have the potential for sizeable VMS deposits based on the latest geological, geophysical and geochemical interpretations. It is anticipated that four drill holes totaling approximately 2,300m will be completed in the Sourdough area to follow-up on the newly identified VMS mineralization and test additional targets generated since the summer drilling campaign. An additional eight drill holes totaling approximately 5,000m are planned in the northern Pine Bay area, adjacent to three significant VMS deposits that occupy the upper margins of the Baker Patton Felsic Complex (BPFC).

The BPFC is one of the largest, most highly altered and relatively underexplored felsic volcanic complexes known in the Flin Flon Greenstone Belt.
