Sacre-Coeur Commences Next Phase of Drilling on Million Mountain Zone 9

SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (the "Company”) today provided further updates on its exploration program on Zone 9 located on the 20km Million Mountain Structural Trend within the Company’s Lower Puruni Block of concessions located in North-central Guyana. As reported in the PR issued last month, ground geophysics, including magnetics and induced polarization had been initiated on Million Mountain Zone 9. The planned start of more trench sampling and core drilling of targets previously identified on the zone was also noted in the same PR.

Trenching and drilling of these targets focused on the contact between a granitic intrusive body and the greenstone country rock, as well as on known vein targets has now begun. Trenching to date has exposed numerous new mineralized veins apparently crossing the granite-greenstone interface. Though assay results from most of the program are still pending, two notable results from a vein hosted in the granitic body returned 41.2 g/t Au over a 50 cm channel sample perpendicular to the dip of the vein, and 69.4 g/t Au from a 1 m panel sample taken down the dip of the vein. These assays were determined by fire assay at Acme Analytical at their Santiago, Chile lab.

To date six shallow (less than 200m) inclined holes have been completed in the contact area and in a nearby area of very small scale, shallow, historic underground mining worked by artisanal miners. While no assays have yet been received from this phase of core drilling, mineralized quartz veining with visible gold has been encountered, as well as sheared and silicified breccias. Though no conclusion can be reached from these empirical observations, the Company is encouraged by the nature and persistence of mineralized veining as well as the existence of the silicified breccias.

Drilling is expected to be on-going at Million Mountain Zone 9 for the next several months to test existing targets as well as those developed by the ground geophysical programs also currently underway. Drilling results in logical information sets will be reported periodically as assays are returned and analyzed.

Zone 9 is located 20 km WSW of Zone 1 on the Million Mountain structural trend. It was originally discovered in the 1980’s by small miners who developed numerous, shallow, underground and surface workings to exploit quartz veins hosted in Lower Proterozoic greenstones and various types of elluvial and alluvial deposits. In addition to the auriferous quartz veins, gold mineralization has been found in the silicified host rocks and potentially in zones of conjugate quartz veining found near intrusive granitic stock contacts, which may have acted as the focusing mechanism for the mineralizing fluids conducted by E-W quartz veins. As reported previously, in 2009 the Company conducted a limited, shallow, test drilling program on Zone 9. Several holes intercepted gold mineralization in quartz veins, the best result being an intercept containing gold mineralization of 4.0 g/t Au over 13.6 meters apparent width, which included 0.55 meters containing 84.26 g/t Au.
