Hitting Multi-Gold Intercepts at Eau Claire

ERIC LEMIEUX, Laurentian Bank Securities (05/08/2009)
"Eastmain has reported final assay results from its winter drill campaign on the high-grade central portion of the Eau Claire gold deposit. Continuity and grade has been confirmed by Eastmain's 2009 infill drill program.

We believe Eastmain has with current and previous drilling expanded the high-grade central portion of the deposit and confirmed extensions. With approximately 365 gold-bearing, quartz-tourmaline veins with an average grade of 14 g/t Au over an average width of 1.3m, the Eau Claire deposit should be set to grow as 125 HQ drill holes totaling 21,720 meters, have been completed within the upper 300 meters of the deposit. We believe results suggest that a potential open pit high-grade gold resource mined by selective mining methods is being confirmed.

We believe these results confirm that the Eau Claire deposit is well placed to potentially be developed as a satellite deposit of Goldcorp's Eleonore project. Eastmain has an experienced and focused management and technical team. We reiterate our Speculative Buy rating with a $1.60 target price."
