Eastmain Resources Inc. (ER:TSX) reports that preliminary surface exploration performed by Eastmain at the Azimut-D property option has delineated several rusty zones, two to 10 metres wide, over a length of approximately 300 metres in altered sedimentary rocks containing minor finely disseminated arsenopyrite, pyrite +/- pyrrhotite and trace chalcopyrite. Similar altered sulphidebearing sediments were discovered earlier at Azimut C (July 21, 2005 release). Altered sediments containing finely disseminated sulphides host Virginia Gold Mines' Roberto Zone discovery located approximately 16 kilometres to the southeast of the Azimut D block.

Airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys have now been completed over the Company's Eastmain-Opinaca area properties. Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario has flown 3,275 line-kilometres of VTEM technology covering the Reservoir, Azimut C, Azimut D and Clearwater properties, located within the James Bay district of Québec. Results are pending.

In addition to flying Geotech's helicopter-borne "Dream Catcher", Eastmain has completed a preliminary geochemical screening of the Azimut C and D blocks. Several thousand B-Horizon soil samples were collected at 100-metre station intervals on 500-metre spaced lines over each property. Samples have been shipped to ALS Chemex Labs in Mississauga, ON. Assays are pending.

Eastmain is also currently performing target definition work on its wholly owned Clearwater, Dyna and Road King projects. Soil sampling, reconnaissance mapping, prospecting and sampling are underway at Dyna and Road King. This work is designed to assess the preliminary economic potential of the claim groups and to outline target areas for further exploration.

Soil sampling, prospecting and trenching to define new gold zones is in progress at Clearwater. Areas to the east and north of the Eau Claire gold deposit were flown using VTEM Dream Catcher technology for a total of 760 line-kilometres. One of these areas, known as Serendipity, hosts a 10- metre thick gold-bearing altered sedimentary zone. Trenching of this target is a priority.

Surface work is being carried out by personnel of Eastmain Resources Inc., J.A. Macleod Exploration Reg'd and Norman McBride Exploration under the supervision of Eddy Canova P. Geo, an independent consultant and qualified person and Dr. Donald J. Robinson, P. Geo and qualified person. This meets the standards for exploration and development for mining properties according to National Instrument 43-101 and Companion Policy 43-101CP.
