June 27, 2012, Vancouver, BC - Sultan Minerals Inc. (SUL -- TSX Venture) ("Sultan") is pleased to announce that its partner Altair Ventures Inc. ("Altair") has updated and confirmed a measured and indicated resource of 549,000 contained ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 513,000 contained ounces of gold on the Kena Property, British Columbia.

The NI 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate was prepared by Gary Giroux, P.Eng, MASc. and Perry Grunenberg, P.Geo, both of whom are independent of Sultan and Altair. The updated resource incorporates drill holes completed since the previous resource estimate (Giroux and Dandy, 2004) and is based mostly on drilling completed to date on the Gold Mountain and the Kena Gold Zone. The updated resource estimate shows a measured plus indicated resource of 25.53 million tonnes averaging 0.67 g/t Au and an additional inferred resource of 25.91 million tonnes averaging 0.61 g/t Au, using a 0.30g/t Au cutoff. The mineralization remains open along strike and at depth. The two zones are situated near the northern 3.0 km end of an 18.0 km long district-scale gold-copper system and are amenable to bulk tonnage surface mining methods. The 7,609 hectare Kena Property is located between the towns of Nelson and Ymir in southeastern British Columbia and is readily accessible by highway and secondary logging roads. There is excellent infrastructure and a qualified workforce nearby.

Drilling and Exploration is scheduled to commence in early July. (Please see Altair's News Release June 25, 2012). Altair can acquire up to a 60% interest in the Kena property from Sultan by completing $7.5 million in project related exploration expenditures over four years, and up to 75% interest by completing a feasibility study and funding the project development expenditures up to the achievement of commercial production.

Sultan currently retains approximately 550 hectares of claims and crown granted mineral claims adjacent to the northwest corner of the Kena Project. The retained property includes the recently acquired Daylight property, the Sand property and several adjacent historic gold mines.
