News Release - Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Title: Stikine- Nonda 100# (Mesh) Sand Exceeds Frac Sand Specs

Vancouver, British Columbia: Stikine Gold Corporation (TSX.V: SKY)("Stikine" or the "Company") has received new test results for its frac sandprocessed from Nonda quartz-pure arenite rocks. The Nonda - Ghost Ridge propertyis located 150 km west of the Horn River Basin ("HRB") shale gas field innortheast British Columbia.

As previously announced, Nonda +40-70 sandsamples have demonstrated continuous quality improvements with incremental labprocess refinements. New test results show the Company has also perfected thelab-scale processing of +70-140 ("100 Mesh") sand. Processed sand testing byStim-Lab (a Core Laboratories Company specializing in proppant testing) has beenfocused on crush resistance and a recent sample of +70-140 sand produced only2.7% fines at 5,000psi (ISO 13503-2/API RP19c, Section 11 "Proppant CrushTest"), well below the suggested maximum of 6%.

Stim-Lab is nowcommencing an extended conductive-permeability test on the +70-140 Nonda sample;on June 1, 2010 the Company reported exceptional conductivity results for Nonda+40-70 sand. These tests provide a benchmark for downhole conductivity atvarious stress levels.

The +70-140 Nonda sand also produced the followingtest results;

ISO 13503-2/API RP19c: Test	Nonda V6 +70-140	Recommended
Section 6, Sieve Analysis	92.6% in size	n/a
Section 7, Sphericity, Roundness, Clusters	0.6, 0.5, none	0.6, 0.6, n/a
Section 8, Acid Solubility	2.2%	3.0% max.
Section 9, Turbidity Test	141 FTU	250 FTU max.
Section 10, Bulk Density, SG	1.40 g/cm3, 2.67 g/cm3	n/a

Preparationsare underway for larger samples to be obtained from the Nonda project and todeliver these samples to a pilot plant-scale test in the summer of 2010. Thiswork will help to define operating parameters, yield and capital/operating costsfor the project.
