Attention Business Editors:

Drilling extends the Finn Zone to depth and to the southwest

     TSX: GEA
     TORONTO, Dec. 6 /CNW/ - Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX: GEA) ("Gold Eagle" or
the "Company") is pleased to announce additional results from the FN Series of
holes on its 100% owned Gold Eagle property in Red Lake, Ontario. The Gold
Eagle property is situated along the Red Lake Trend, west of Goldcorp's Red
Lake and Campbell Mines and immediately southwest of Goldcorp's
Cochenour-Willans Mine.
     Highlights
       -  Step-out drilling extends the Finn Zone by 20 metres to the
          southwest and 45 metres vertically.
       -  The Finn Zone is a minimum of 470 metres in a horizontal direction
          and 345 metres deeper than the Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized
          envelope.
       -  The Finn Zone remains open in all directions.
       -  With the completion of the FN Series of holes, the rig has moved to
          the southerly edge of the Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized
          envelope in order to commence a series of step-out holes in a
          southwesterly direction towards the Finn Zone.
     See map, "Drill Plan (FN Series-Dec07)", on the company website
http://www.goldeaglemines.com
     The FN Series were initiated as part of a regional reconnaissance program
designed to obtain stratigraphic and structural geology information on the
southeastern area of the Gold Eagle property. Drilling has successfully
confirmed a significant new area of gold mineralization named the Finn Zone.
     Within the Finn Zone, gold mineralization, carbonate alteration zones and
host rocks have been intersected that bear striking similarities to the
structures and mineralization within the Bruce Channel Discovery ("BCD")
mineralized envelope, which is located approximately 475 metres to the
northeast.
     FN 1-4
     The FN 1-4 "wedge" hole was started from the FN 1-3 at a depth of
1,697�metres and was directed to test the southerly extent of the mineralized
structures reported in FN 1-3. The hole intersected clastic meta-sediments and
iron formation of the Bruce Channel Assemblage to 1,964 metres, and variably
altered volcanic and associated sedimentary rocks of the Balmer�Assemblage to
the final hole depth of 2,528 metres.

     Gold mineralization occurs within a broader biotitically altered zone of
carbonate veining and brecciation with associated disseminated pyrrhotite and
aresenopyrite.
     FN 1-4 confirmed that the Finn Zone mineralization extends to the
southwest by at least another 20 metres and by at least 45 metres vertically.
The Finn Zone remains open in all directions.
     FN 1-5
     The FN 1-5 "wedge" hole was started from FN 1-2 at a depth of
1,445.30�metres and was directed to provide additional information between
FN�1-2 and FN 1-4.
     FN 1-5 intersected the Bruce Channel Assembalge to a depth of
2,004.50�metres. Below this, and to a final depth of 2,235.50 metres, the hole
intersected clastic sediments, iron formation, and variably altered mafic
volcanics assigned to the Balmer Assemblage. Mineralization was associated
with quartz veins hosting disseminated pyrrhotite, arenopyrite and visible
gold.

     FN 1-5 was prematurely terminated at a depth of 2,235.50 metres and, as
such, did not reach its target depth. FN 1-5 intersected gold mineralization
on the westerly side of the currently identified Finn Zone.
     Bruce Channel Discovery Step Out Program
     With the FN 1 "mother-hole" having worn to the point where it is no
longer viable to continue drilling, the rig has been redeployed to a planned
location on McKenzie Island in order to commence a systematic step out program
from the current southwest edge of the BCD mineralized envelope. The goal of
this step out program is to test for the extension of the BCD mineralized
envelope in a southwesterly direction towards the Finn Zone. It is expected
that this important step out program could take between 18 to 24�months to
complete.
     Notes:
       -  VG - visible gold
       -  Lengths reported are core intersection lengths and do not represent
          true widths
       -  It is anticipated that true width estimates will be made possible
          after additional drilling
       -  Conversion Method: grams per tonne (g/t) multiplied by 0.0292 equals
          troy ounces per short ton (oz/t)
