For some reason, although it does not have the spectacular width of an Aurelian I like this one. OK, 20 metres is not that great, and 3 to 8 grams is average for this width, but I wish I had it. Maybe we do in Kirkland Lake. I am not giving up hope. At any rate imagine if they had 5 kilometres of this stuff 1000 feet deep. They would have 10 million ounces! Of course they only have 500 metres so far, but it is apparently open in all directions, particularly to the west.

High Grade Shear Zone Extended at Million Mountain – New Assays Include 19.6 M @ 5.8 g/t AU
June 9, 2006
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (the “Company”) today announced that it has received preliminary assays from Loring Laboratories Inc. of Georgetown, Guyana for ten additional drill holes targeting extensions to the high grade shear zone intersected by previously reported drill holes MM01-05 and 02-05. The shear zone intercept in drill hole MM01-06, drilled 20 meters to the Southeast along strike from the MM01-05/02-05 collar, contains 17.3 meters grading 4.2 g/t Au. The shear zone intercept in drill hole MM08-06, drilled 20 meters to the Northwest along strike from the MM01-05/02-05 collar, contains 19.6 meters grading 5.8 g/t Au, and in drill hole MM12-06, drilled 40 meters to the Northwest along strike from the MM01-05/02-05 collar, contains is 12.7 meters grading 3.4 g/t Au.
The current drilling program is focused on testing the extent of a high grade Northwest-trending shear zone discovered originally by trenching and subsequently intercepted at depth by previously reported drill holes MM01-05 & MM02-05. To develop a better understanding of the structure, the Company has drilled fans of holes at -45 degrees and -60 degrees from drill pads situated on the hanging wall side of the structure, evenly spaced at 20 meters along a line oriented at 294 degrees true (parallel with the estimated strike of the structure). This release reports the results of two fans to the Northwest and two fans to the Southeast along strike from the initial discovery holes, and two holes drilled off-trend approximately 150 meters to the Southeast to test for the presence of suspected off-setting structures for a total of ten additional drill holes.
