Eastmain Resources Inc. (ER:TSX) reported that recently completed airborne magnetic and electromagnetic surveys covering the Ruby Hill property have outlined a number of high priority VTEM anomalies. Located at the eastern end of the Eastmain Greenstone Belt, within the James Bay District of Québec, the Ruby Hill claims lie approximately five kilometres west of the Eastmain Mine. The Eastmain Mine property, owned by Campbell Resources Inc., was also surveyed.

Three distinct gold-silver-copper-bearing zones (A, B and C) were previously discovered when Placer Development (now Placer Dome Inc.) drill-tested an airborne geophysical conductor on the Eastmain Mine property. The recent VTEM surveys clearly delineate these zones and a number of similar and highly prospective anomalies on the Ruby Hill claim blocks.

Campbell reports a measured resource of 91,500 tons at 0.268 oz/ton and an indicated resource of 786,600 tons at 0.294 oz/ton containing 255,750 ounces of gold for the Eastmain Mine (Campbell Resources 2004 Annual Report). At the mine gold mineralization occurs within a siliceous, sulphidebearing unit associated with komatiite. This very distinctive geologic marker horizon is believed to be repeated by folding onto Ruby Hill claims and is key to the mine series rocks. Komatiite rocks are closely associated with gold mineralization in several major mining camps in Canada and Australia. Komatiites are also highly prospective for copper, nickel and platinum group metal (PGM) deposits.

Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario was contracted to fly a total of 3,220 line-kilometres of VTEM airborne geophysical surveys on the Ruby Hill A and B claim blocks and the Eastmain Mine property. Dubbed the "Dream Catcher", VTEM has identified anomalies left undetected by other surveys in known mineral belts. VTEM is also capable of detecting weak anomalies often associated with gold ores in areas where there is only minor finely disseminated sulphide mineralization.

Over the summer months Eastmain completed an extensive target generating program on properties located near the three gold deposits discovered to date in James Bay, Québec. The Company has flown over 6,500 line-kilometres of VTEM airborne surveys, collected 7,500 soil samples and submitted more than 1,000 rock samples for analysis. Comprehensive trenching and drill-testing of numerous target zones is planned for 2006. Dr. Donald J. Robinson, P.Geo. is the qualified person for the project.

Eastmain Resources Inc. is one of the most active mining exploration companies in James Bay, Québec. Eastmain has eleven projects covering 850 km2 in key strategic geologic settings within the region. The Company holds 100% interest in the Eau Claire gold deposit which is currently estimated to have an indicated resource of 1,029,332 tonnes at 9.46 g/t gold for 313,191 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 3,049,660 tonnes @ 6.93 g/t for 679,464 ounces of gold (News Release March 3, 2005).
