June 23, 2011, Vancouver, BC - Sultan Minerals Inc. (SUL-TSX-V) ("Sultan") wishes to provide a review and update for its shareholders on its 2011 activities. Sultan is currently focused on planning for the exploration and development of its BC projects. Since the beginning of the year Sultan has obtained quotes from a number of engineering firms regarding project advancement and been in discussions with several companies who have executed confidentiality agreements. Management is reviewing all options that will be suitable and beneficial to Sultan and its shareholders.

During Sultan's planning and discussion stages, global economic concerns and weaknesses in macro-economic data have resulted in a 23% decline in the Toronto Venture Exchange since early March, affecting all junior exploration companies. Despite this, the commodity markets (gold, copper, tungsten) in which Sultan has an interest in continues to be strong and Sultan's management remains committed to advancing and developing its projects. Sultan's Consultants are currently compiling and reviewing previous years exploration data and in the process of finalizing a recommendation report for the 2011 exploration season. In addition discussions are currently under way with several potential joint venture partners for both projects.

Sultan has two advanced exploration projects in the Kootenay Region of southeastern BC. In 2009 and 2010 Sultan aggressively explored and expanded the two projects, both of which now have sizeable NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimates.
