Eau Claire Extension Channel Samples Up To 76.8 g/t Au

TORONTO, ON - Eastmain Resources Inc. reported on channel and rock sampling recently completed at its wholly-owned Clearwater Project, located in James Bay, Quebec. Rock sampling from the Boomerang showing assayed very high gold-silver-tellurium (Au-Ag-Te) values in both vein and host rock. Surface stripping has also exposed more high-grade gold-bearing quartz tourmaline veins along the north margin of the 450 West Zone, with 0.5 meter-wide samples ranging from 2.05 to 76.8 grams per tonne (g/t) Au.

1,793 channel samples and 636 rock samples from Clearwater have been submitted for assay this season. In excess of 100 rock samples, containing anomalous gold values ranging from 0.10 to 188 g/t, occur within a mineralized system extending both east and west of the Eau Claire deposit, delineating a highly-prospective gold-enriched footprint covering 7.5 kilometers. Numerous quartz-tourmaline veins and altered zones, closely resembling those hosting the Eau Claire gold deposit, were exposed along this 7.5-km-long trend during the 2014 trenching program. This mineralized corridor is associated with a sub-parallel trending regional "crustal-scale" structural break, which runs along the southern portion of the Clearwater property and extends through several other properties held by Eastmain. Major structural breaks occur in most Archean gold camps and are thought to be closely associated with many economic gold deposits throughout the world. Assay data is pending for over a thousand channel samples.

New rock sampling in the vicinity of the Boomerang showing, located 700 meters east of Eau Claire assayed 188 g/t Au, 828 g/t Ag and 600 g/t Te in a quartz-tourmaline vein containing abundant fine grained visible gold and tellurides. The host sediment also assayed 104.5 g/t Au, 537 g/t Ag and 418 g/t Te.
