TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - March 15, 2011) - St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited (News - Market indicators) ("St. Eugene") is pleased to announce that it has staked and made application for additional claims comprising approximately 10,000 hectares, located in the vicinity of the existing Amisk Gold Project, which is situated 20 kilometers west of the Manitoba/Saskatchewan border within in the Flin Flon-Snow Lake greenstone belt.
Jennifer Boyle, Chief Executive Officer of St Eugene states: "The newly staked ground contains approximately 17 showings and covers an area approximately 30 kilometers long and 15 kilometers wide, and is considered strategic, in that it has been interpreted to cover geophysical anomalies and potential mineralized extensions from the Amisk Gold Project."
The area recently staked has been subject to a considerable amount of exploration between the 1960's through the 1990's. The properties are strategically located in proximity to the Amisk Gold joint venture property, which is hosted within a rhyolite flow-dome complex and overlying pyroclastic tuffs of the Amisk Volcanic Assemblage, Flin Flon Greenstone Belt. High grade gold and silver mineralization is hosted within a series of moderately to shallowly-dipping, pyrite +/- chalcopyrite-sphalerite-tetrahedrite-galena-bearing sulphide vein systems. High grade vein systems are typically flanked by wide intervals of low grade disseminated and stringer mineralization within a broad sericite alteration envelope.
Certain of the newly staked claims are in close proximity to the Amisk Gold Project, a 65:35 joint venture with Claude Resources that comprises over 13,000 hectares. Claude Resources shall be provided with the right to participate in new ground acquired in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreement.
Wes Hanson, P.Geo., Chairman of St. Eugene, is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release for and on behalf of St. Eugene.
