Clearwater Project Drilling Completed

TORONTO - Eastmain Resources Inc. reported that visible gold has been identified in 55 intersections from holes completed during its latest drill campaign. A total of 180 quartz-tourmaline vein and schist drill intercepts ranging from 0.5 to more than 4.0 metres in thickness were intersected within the Eau Claire gold deposit. Visible gold observed in drill core ranges from 1 to over 100 grains per intercept and varies in size from less than 1 mm to more than 4 mm (Table 1). Drilling across the 450 West Zone at Eau Claire confirms excellent continuity of multiple gold-bearing veins, defining a high-grade corridor containing visible gold in the central part of the deposit. Based on previous drill results, an increase in the number of visible gold grains may indicate a significant increase in the grade of the deposit.

A total of 53 drill holes were completed at Eastmain's 100%-owned Clearwater Project. 51 HQ (96 mm diameter) drill holes (ER07-60 to ER07-110) were completed at the Eau Claire deposit (450 West Zone) over a strike-length of 300 metres and to a vertical depth of up to 100 metres. From these holes, 1,980 half-metre HQ core samples have been submitted to SGS Minerals Lakefield Research Laboratories for assay and metallurgical testing. An additional 95 half-metre samples from two exploration holes (ER07-111, ER07-112) drilled into the 850 West Zone have been submitted to ALS Chemex in Sudbury.
