Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. ("Independent") (TSX VENTURE:CBG)(STUT:CLL)
is pleased to provide shareholders with an update as to work undertaken on
several of our wholly owned properties in the Chibougamau Mining Camp of Quebec.


Berrigan Gold, Silver, Zinc Property

Eight relatively short drill holes were undertaken in order to provide
Independent with geological, structural and mineralogical information as regards
the area of known mineralization. Previous drilling dates back as far as 1948 so
fresh core was deemed necessary in order to allow Independent to understand this
project area as it is geologically different than all the other areas of know
mineralization in the Camp.


Two parallel sections, thirty (30) metres apart, comprised of three and four
drill holes respectively from the same drill collar but at progressively steeper
angles, were drilled as follows:

In addition, a hole BT-13-04 was drilled at an oblique angle from the north to
cross-cut the two sections with an azimuth of 180 degrees and a dip of 50
degrees. Individual metallic element assays as high as 32.34 g/t Au, 154 g/t Ag
and 15.40 % Zn were encountered.


The drilling intersected wide zones of disseminated pyrite with localized
pyrrhotite and in certain sections, disseminated stringer and occasionally
semi-massive sphalerite. Valuable information was garnered such as that
mineralized zones appear to get larger with depth reaching up to 55 metres in
hole number BT-13-01 and a combined width of 61 metres in hole BT-13-07.


The limited drilling undertaken over a very short and shallow strike length has
indicated that while numerous short to intermediate length intersections of
higher grade mineralization were intersected, the more interesting economic
model of a lower cost, open pittable, larger tonnage, lower grade, polymetallic
deposit may be a better target.


It was observed from drilling that the distribution of gold seems to be tied to
the presence of sphalerite and that silver content forms an extensive halo
around the principal gold/zinc mineralized sections.


Initially, assaying of split core was done by Laboratoire Expert Inc. of
Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, using standard sample preparation followed by fire
assaying for gold and an atomic absorption finish. However, it was found that
there were huge variances in the gold assays due to the coarse nature of the
gold. It was decided to undertake the more expensive and time consuming metallic
sieve assay method for gold with a gravimetric finish as testing of this method
by Laboratoire Expert showed good reproducibility. Silver and base metals were
done by total acid digestion with an atomic absorption finish. 


At the end of this press release, you will find a list of some of the drill
intersections.


Shallow and Deep Penetration Induced Polarization Survey

A series of grids were established on some of our lake claims in order to test,
among other things, water covered areas of known mineralization, projections of
mineralized mine structures from land into the lake, areas where previous
limited diamond drilling intersected gold and/or copper in historical drill
holes and lastly, prospective areas of geological interest.


In a preliminary review of the IP sections, it is evident that both types of
surveys have delineated areas of known mineralization and extensions both along
strike and to depth providing Independent with a large number of priority
targets. We are awaiting final reports and interpretations as well as the
results of corresponding horizontal electromagnetic and magnetic surveys and
compilations of the target areas before planning drill programs.


All in all, the initial programs have provided us with an excellent start to our
exploration campaigns and we look forward to a productive summer exploration
season. Independent intends to spend a minimum of $1,400,000 on exploration on
our Chibougamau area properties before year end.
