Attention Business Editors:

Regional drilling program intersects potential new area of gold mineralization beneath the Bruce Channel

     TSX: GEA
     TORONTO, June 4 /CNW/ - Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX: GEA) (OTCBB:GEAFF)
("Gold Eagle" or the "Company") is pleased to announce drill results on 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
     -  The FN 1 Series of holes (FN 1-1 and FN 1-2) have intersected a
        potentially new mineralized area within the Balmer Assemblage
        approximately 450 metres west-southwest of the Bruce Channel Discovery
        mineralized envelope.
     -  This carbonate zone and its host rocks in FN 1-2, bear striking
        similarities to units intersected within the current Bruce Channel
        Discovery mineralized envelope.
     -  It is anticipated that once the FN 1 Series of holes have been
        completed, the rig will be moved northeastwards to the Bruce Channel
        Discovery mineralized envelope, and will commence a series of step-out
        holes in the direction of the FN Series.
     The FN 1 Series and FN 2 Series are collared on McKenzie Island
approximately 1.5 kilometres west-southwest of the collar of BC 21 on the
mainland.

     These holes were initiated as a regional reconnaissance exploration
program designed to obtain data on the stratigraphy and geology of the
south-eastern area of the Gold Eagle property. In addition the program is
testing the conformation and extent of the McKenzie Island Stock granodiorite
and will further examine the potentially prospective "contact" area between
the granodiorite and the metavolcanic/ metasedimentary Bruce Channel/ Balmer
Assemblages.
     FN 1 Series
     FN 1-1
     ------
     FN 1-1 is the "mother" hole for a series of "wedge" holes. It commenced
drilling at an azimuth of 092o and was allowed to swing north to a final
azimuth of 075o. The inclination at the collar was set at -75o and gradually
flattened to -69o at a final depth of 2,410.7 metres (approximately
2,300�metres vertical from surface).
     FN 1-1 intersected a succession of Confederation Lake Assemblage clastic
metasediments to 1,094 metres followed by McKenzie Island Stock granodiorite
to a depth of 1,792 metres. A relatively narrow section of Bruce Channel
Assemblage was encountered from 1,792 metres to a depth of 2,103 metres. From
this point, the hole intersected Balmer Assemblage with highly altered
metavolcanic zones to 2,410.7 metres.
     A number of significant gold intersects (refer to FN 1-1 table below)
were encountered in the FN 1-1 "mother" hole.
     The upper gold intersections are within sericitic granodiorite hosted
quartz veining and are similar in style and tenor to the nearby Gold Eagle
Mine and Western Discovery Zone (both owned by Gold Eagle) and Goldcorp's
McKenzie Red Lake Mine. Further exploration work is required to ascertain
whether these structure are the southerly extension of the flat lying gold
vein system of the Western Discovery Zone, located approximately 400 metres to
the north.
     The final gold intersection of 12.55 g/t over 2.00 metres was intersected
at 2,114 metres within biotitically altered metavolcanic Balmer Assemblage.

     FN 1-2
     ------
     The FN 1-2 "wedge" hole was started as a step-out from the FN 1-1
"mother" hole at a depth of 1,040 metres with an azimuth of 173o and a dip of
081o. It was pushed southeastwards before being allowed to curve gradually to
the northeast to its final depth of 2,529.6 metres.
     See map, "Drill Plan (FN Series)", on the company website
http://www.goldeaglemines.com/_bin/images/maps.cfm
     The drill hole intersected a succession of Confederation Lake Assemblage
clastic metasediments to 1,105 metres followed by McKenzie Island Stock
granodiorite to a depth of 2,065 metres. A relatively narrow section of Bruce
Channel Assemblage was encountered from 2,065 metres to a depth of
2,103�metres. From this point, the hole intersected Balmer Assemblage with
highly altered metavolcanics to 2,529.6 metres.
     Importantly, preliminary logging in FN 1-2 has noted a strong carbonate
zone within the Balmer Assemblage with associated silicification from
approximately 2,404 metres to 2,413 metres. From this point to the end of the
hole at 2,529.6 metres sporadic carbonate veining and frequent silicification
occurs within the biotitically altered metavolcanic host rock.
     This carbonate zone, and its host rocks, bear striking similarities to
units intersected within the current Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized
envelope.
     Detailed logging and sampling are currently under way and assay results
will be released when available.
     FN 1-3
     ------
     A new "wedge" hole, FN 1-3 has now commenced to further test the
carbonate zone and adjacent structures within the Balmer Assemblage. This hole
has been angled to step-out in a south-southwest direction from FN 1-2.
     FN 2 Series
     The FN 2 Series of drill holes are also being used to critically assess
the lithological, structural and mineralogical potential within the
south-southeastern area of the Gold Eagle property.
     FN 2-1
     ------
     FN 2-1 was collared from the same location as FN 1-1 at an azimuth of
105o and an inclination of 50o. It was allowed to curve gradually towards the
southeast near to the southern border of the Gold Eagle property. The hole was
stopped at 2,518.8 metres at a final azimuth of 154o and a dip of -35o.
     See map, "Drill Plan (FN Series)", on the company website
http://www.goldeaglemines.com/_bin/images/maps.cfm
     The hole drilled through a thick sequence of clastic metasediments of the
Confederation Lake/Bruce Channel Assemblages to a depth of 1,960 metres before
entering the Balmer Assemblage to a final depth of 2,518.8 metres.
     The significant gold intersections (refer to table FN 2-1 below) are all
confined to veining within the clastic metasediments of the Confederation
Lake/Bruce Channel sequences. The Balmer Assemblage intersected from
1,960�metres returned generally low gold values. There are no current plans
for further drilling from the FN 2 Series.
