Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - April 13, 2017) - Canuc Resources Corporation (TSXV: CDA) ("Canuc" or the "Company") is pleased to provide further information, previously compiled, pertaining to work done by Santa Rosa Silver Mining Corporation ("Santa Rosa") on the San Javier Silver/Gold project.

Subsequent to the underground sampling program conducted in 2012, a program of reconnaissance mapping, prospecting and sampling was carried out under the guidance of Seymour Sears, P.Geo, whose NI 43-101 report on the San Javier project can be viewed on SEDAR. During this program, a total of 9 prospects were identified within the property. Including the surface exposures at Santa Rosa/Polvorin mine, located near the southwest end of the property, a mineralized "corridor" about 200 m wide extends across the length of the property, a distance in excess of 3,000 m to the northeast.

At least 3 styles of mineralization were identified and sampled. These include vein and vein-breccia zones similar to the main Santa Rosa—Polvorin Zone; alteration zones associated with the margins of felsic to intermediate dykes, as at the Colorado Zone; and quartz stockwork breccia zones as represented by the Carranza Zone. The vein zones range in width from less than 1 m to 4.5 m. The other two styles of mineralization appear to have potential to be much wider.

At Colorado Zone, the silica and clay alteration is at least 11 m wide, and an 11.2 m composite of 4 samples across this zone averaged 284 g/t (8.3 opt) Ag.

The Carranza Zone at one point reaches a width of 31 m. Contained within this section occurs an 11.0 m interval (4 samples) that averages 238 g/t (6.9 opt) Ag.

The Company is also pleased to report that it has granted additional options to Mr. John Nebocat who was recently appointed Vice President of Exploration. The options total 400,000 shares exercisable at $0.50 per share for three years, all of which vest immediately. The new options are in addition to 200,000 options previously granted to Mr. Nebocat which are also exercisable $0.50 per share.

Mr. Nebocat brings many years of experience in Mexican silver deposits. In addition to extensive surface and underground data compilation, he has undertaken some 3-D modeling of the Santa Rosa silver mine; this work will prove invaluable in designing a maiden drilling program expected to start in the next few months. In the meantime, surface work including chip and soil sampling is continuing, the results of which will be released in the near future. As a reminder, the company recently completed a $2.0 million equity financing in February 2017 and has sufficient funds on hand to complete the current phase of its planned exploration program.
