THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES.

InZinc Mining Ltd. (TSX-V:IZN) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company has completed the first tranche closing (the “First Closing”) of its non-brokered private placement for gross proceeds of $3,148,000. The offering, previously announced in InZinc’s news releases dated November 17, 2017 and November 23, 2017, will now consist of up to 36,450,000 units (the “Units”) at a price of $0.10 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one common share (a “Common Share”) of the Company and one-half of one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each full Warrant will entitle its holder to acquire one Common Share at an exercise price of $0.15 for a period of 24 months from completion of the Financing. Under the First Closing, InZinc issued 31,480,000 Units. The Company paid finder’s fees in cash of $145,210 and issued common share purchase warrants (“Finder’s Warrants”) to purchase up to 1,437,100 Common Shares, such Finder’s Warrants having the same terms as the Warrants.

Insiders, each being a "related party" of the Company (as such term is defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101")), have subscribed for a total of 2,000,000 Units, as follows: Wayne M. Hubert (Chief Executive Officer and a director of the Company), for 750,000 Units; Louis Montpellier (a director of the Company), for 500,000 Units; and John Murphy (a director of the Company), for 750,000 Units. The Company relied upon exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 available pursuant to sections 5.5(b) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as the Company is not listed on a senior specified stock exchange and the fair market value of the participation in the Private Placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the market capitalization of the Company, as determined in accordance with MI 61‑101.

All securities issued under the Private Placement are subject to a four month hold period expiring on April 15, 2018.

The second closing of the Financing is expected to occur on or around December 20, 2017 and is subject to all regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The securities issued in connection with the Financing will be subject to a four-month hold period from the date of closing in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

The net proceeds from the Financing will be used for advancement of the Company’s exploration projects and for general corporate purposes.
