Important Milestone Reached at Ruddock Creek
Underground Diamond Drilling Commences
June 25, 2008 - Selkirk Metals Corp. (?Selkirk? or the ?Company?) is pleased to announce that the
Ruddock Creek Zinc-Lead Deposit will be explored for the first time in history by underground Diamond
drilling and bulk sampling. The Ruddock Creek Property is accessible year round by the completion of
an all season main haul road, has an established 40-man camp facility including mine dry, shops and
offices. The project is located 100 km north-northwest of Revelstoke in the Kamloops and Revelstoke
Mining Divisions, British Columbia.
The decline has advanced to approximately 730 meters with a final planned depth of just over 1000
meters where it will intersect and cross the massive sulphide zinc-lead mineralization of the targeted
E-Zone. At a depth of 650 meters the first drill station was built to allow for Diamond drilling as the
decline continues to its target depth. Underground Diamond drilling which has started from this location
will initially be directed down the projected path of the decline to intersect the E-Zone massive sulphide
mineralization and to acquire related geotechnical information.
The decline will intersect the massive sulphide mineralization of the E-Zone at the deepest and most
westerly point in the vicinity of drill holes RD-05-113 and RD-06-152. The results are tabulated below:

RD-06-152 648.84 671.40 22.56 11.70 2.27
These widths and grade of mineralization are characteristic of the massive sulphide throughout the
E-Zone. Approximately 24,000 meters of surface Diamond drilling by Selkirk over the past 3 years has
defined the E-Zone continuously for 1.2 kilometers down the plunge from where the Zone is exposed at
surface. Based on this length and the average dip and thickness of the zone as defined to date, the
indicated size of the zone is sufficient to contain a tonnage of the target mineralization that would justify
development. The planned 10,000 meter underground Diamond drilling, in conjunction with the surface
drilling, will complete the necessary drilling to complete a resource calculation for the entire E-Zone as
defined to date and extend the zone down dip to the west.

Once the decline reaches a depth of 900 meters lateral development to the east will provide additional
drill stations to continue the detailed drilling of the E-Zone. At that time a second drill will be
commissioned. The decline will also continue through the E-Zone at 1,000 meters into the hanging wall
allowing the collection of the bulk sample for final metallurgical testing.
In the summer of 2008, Selkirk will also continue surface exploration over the balance of the ?Ruddock
Creek Sulphide Horizon?. As a result of previous exploration and the work of Selkirk over the past two
years, this horizon appears to be a continuous zone of massive sulphide similar in mineralogy and grade
as the E-Zone over a length of greater than five kilometers. As such, there is the geological environment
present to host a much larger deposit of massive sulphide in this Horizon. Selkirk will strive to evaluate
the overall potential of the Ruddock Creek Property as quickly and as comprehensively as possible as it
moves towards potential development.
Operations on the Ruddock Creek Property are being conducted under the supervision of the Company?s
Qualified Persons (as defined by NI 43-101), Jim Miller-Tait, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration and
Tom Colbourne, P.Eng., Vice President of Mining.
