CORE DRILLING TO THE WEST CONFIRMS EXTENSION OF ZONE AT MILLION MOUNTAIN; LONG INTERVALS INCLUDE 108.55 M @ 2.04 G/T AU
Sacre-Coeur Minerals Ltd. has received assays from Loring Laboratories Inc. of Georgetown, Guyana, for 12 additional drill holes drilled into a new zone located 250 metres west of its initial discovery holes (MM01-05 and MM02-05, reported previously). These new holes encountered long intervals of moderate grade punctuated by several high-grade shoots.
Notable results include: drill hole MM41-06, which contained 108.85 metres at 2.04 grams per tonne gold, including 8.5 metres at 12.61 g/t Au; drill hole MM29-06, which contained 139.30 metres at 1.02 g/t, including 7.1 metres at 6.42 g/t Au; drill hole MM39-06, which contained 7.9 metres at 9.63 g/t Au; and drill hole MM36-06, which contained 111.90 metres at 1.07 g/t Au.

Notes:
Assays for upper portions of MM39-06, MM40-06, MM41-06 and MM42-06 are pending, though are not expected to contain significant value, as the intervals are in the barren thrust plate.
Intercepts are not resolved to true width.
Assays are uncut, though no significant statistical
outliers occur in the sample population.
These drill results confirm the extension at depth of the high-grade mineralization found in trenches to the west of the initial discovery holes, which was reported in the company's press release in October, 2006. Drilling and trenching to date indicate robust disseminated gold mineralization with numerous high-grade shoots related to dilational features contained within the host body continuously from the initial high-grade discovery holes for a distance of at least 250 metres to the west and north. Step-out drilling to the north and west is continuing. Similarly, as reported in the company's news in Stockwatch of Dec. 20, 2006, trench results suggest continuity to the south and east for at least a distance of 325 metres from the discovery holes. Step-out drilling in this direction is also planned in the coming weeks.
According to Irwin Olian, chief executive officer of the company: "It is gratifying to see our drilling program confirm long intervals of gold-bearing mineralization following our trenching program to the west of the main zone at Million Mountain. This 250-metre step-out certainly gives further encouragement to the expansive character of the near-surface deposit. We are also excited by prospects for expanding the zone to the south and east as suggested by sampling and trenching in those directions. We look forward to Infill drilling along with drilling designed to further expand the perimeter of the zone in all directions."
