Vancouver, BC – November 5, 2015 – Tintina Resources Inc. (“Tintina” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:“TAU”; OTCQX: “TINTF”) is pleased to provide an update outlining development plans for the Johnny Lee copper deposit at its flagship Black Butte Copper Project. These plans incorporate best industry practices and outline the details for management of mill tailings (finely ground rock left after copper minerals are removed) which include cementing tailings for storage both underground and in a double lined surface tailings facility.

The Company has completed design level studies for both returning cemented tailings underground during ‘cut and fill’ mining as paste backfill, and storing the remainder of the cemented tailings in a double lined surface Cemented Tailings Facility (“CTF”). The studies also include plans for reverse osmosis (“RO”) water treatment of all site waters, including precipitation run off water that comes into contact with the CTF, no discharge of water to surface, and complete mitigation of all beneficial water use by the operation. The Mine Operating Permit (“MOP”) application scheduled for submission to the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“DEQ”) later this year will include detailed studies in support of these designs. Explanations of these designs are available on the Tintina website (www.tintinaresources.com).

The CTF design eliminates certain risks associated with the more traditionally used and industry standard sub-aqueous tailings impoundment. The Company chose this design because it provides enhanced protection of all surface and ground water and meets Montana’s non-degradation water standards for industrial activity. In addition, this design inhibits the potential for errant dust from the CTF and allows for expedited reclamation at mine closure which includes a geotextile over-liner sealed to the underlying double liner and all covered with fill and capped with top soil. The design will receive peer review under Montana’s comprehensive regulatory process, including the recently adopted 2015 legislation related to tailings disposal. The design exceeds the most stringent earthquake and storm event standards for the area.

Jerry Zieg, VP of Exploration stated, “We agree with our community that we must go above and beyond to protect all our waterways. This plan reflects our commitment to these high standards and we are proud of the design we will include in our Mine Operating Permit Application. We are ‘Doing it Right from the Beginning.’”

Bruce Hooper, President & CEO, closed by stating, “We are excited to display our commitment to building one of the most environmentally sound copper developments worldwide. Please come visit us on our tour days on the first of every month and visit our website to learn more.”
