FOR: EASTMAIN RESOURCES INC. TSE SYMBOL: ER OCTOBER 12, 1999 High grade gold discovered in two major veins at Clearwater TORONTO, ONTARIO--Eastmain Resources Inc. (TSE: ER) and SOQUEM Inc. are pleased to announce high grade gold assay results from surface stripping at Clearwater, Quebec. Fifty-three channel samples taken at five- to ten-metre-intervals have confirmed continuous ore grade gold across mineable widths on two newly discovered veins. Clearwater is a joint venture project owned equally by Eastmain and SOQUEM Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of SGF Minerals. High-grade gold has been detected throughout the newly discovered 130-metre-long P Vein. Fire assay results from X-RAY Assay Laboratories in Rouyn-Noranda, include: 220.26 gpt gold /0.4 m (6.43 ounces per ton), 74.4 gpt /0.6 m, 45.69 gpt /0.5 m, 17.5 gpt /2.1 m, 22.05 gpt /2.4 m, 44.86 gpt/1.0 m and 28.22 gpt over 0.4 m. The P Vein contains an average uncut grade of 12.21 gpt (0.36 ounces) gold across a minimum two-metre mining width. The O and Q Veins, discovered 15 metres north of P, contain ore grade gold over mineable widths for a length of 150 metres. Similar to the adjacent P Vein, very high gold grades were detected throughout their lengths. These include 271.5 gpt gold / 0.4 m (7.93 ounces per ton), 64.32 gpt /2.0 m, 117.16 gpt /0.4 m, 24.31 gpt/1.7 m and 44.02 gpt /0.8 m. The O and Q Veins contain an average grade of 10.7 gpt (0.31 ounces) gold across a mineable width. These veins blossom at the eastern end into a 10.5-metre-wide tourmaline zone containing 3.9-gpt gold. The O, P and Q veins are open to the west. Stripping has also exposed the J Vein for a length of 80 metres. High-grade gold assays within the J Vein include 38.16 gpt gold /0.7 m and 59.68 gpt /0.70 m and a three metre wide tourmaline zone grading 17.69 gpt gold. The J Vein, located five metres north of O and Q, contains a drill-indicated resource of 400,000 tonnes grading 10.03 gpt (0.29 ounces) gold (uncut). The average grade of the new veins - O, Q and P - is consistent with the J Vein's drill-indicated resource. Additional stripping and detailed drilling at 25-metre-centres is required to better evaluate the tonnage potential for the project. Discovery of the new veins at Clearwater improves its potential to become a gold producer. Soquem inc. is a division of SGF Mineral inc., which is a subsidiary of the SGF. The mission of the SGF is to carry out economic development projects in cooperation with partners and in accordance with accepted requirements of profitability, in particular the industrial sector. Since 1985, the SGF has produced investments in the region of $6.7 billion, thereby enabling the creation of 22,000 jobs, directly and indirectly. As of December 31st 1998, the consolidation of assets of the SGF totaled $1.8 billion. Furthermore, the consolidation assets of all the companies in which the SGF holds a share represent an amount of $10 billion. The SGF is associated with 34 international partners conducting business operations in Quebec. /T/ Clearwater Project Channel Sample Assay Results Sample Au1 Au2 Average Average Length Total Vein
