Canuc Provides Exploration Update for San Javier
Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - May 22, 2018) - Canuc Resources Corporation (TSXV: CDA) ("Canuc" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the San Javier Project.
Samples taken from the northeast portion of the San Javier mineralized corridor (SRMC) returned high grade silver results of up to 625 g/t Ag over 1.5 metres from breccias at the Chiripas workings. Chiripas is located some 3,000 metres northeast of the Santa Rosa mine workings (see Figure 1). The nearby Little Pit showing also yielded results of up to 477 g/t Ag over 3.8 metres in vein material. The Jazmin working, located further southwest along the SRMC, has also yielded up to 698 g/t Ag over 2.0 metres in vein material samples (see Table 1 sample results).

"These results clearly indicate that high grade silver vein mineralization, and also silver bearing breccia geology, is evidenced along the full 3 km strike extent of the San Javier structure and the San Javier mineralized corridor. This is very encouraging for geological prospects and vein continuity along trend in the northeasterly direction, and suggests potential for a robust high-grade and vein hosted mineral endowment." Stated Hub Mockler.

Canuc also announces that it has released from option 2 claims of the 19 claim ground position at San Javier. These 2 claims, which represent just over 8% of the total claim package, were deemed to have metal budgets insufficient to support their option costs. The remaining claims are owned outright.
