Course Metallics Assays Add to Sacre-Coeur's Results at Million Mountain

May 1, 2006

VANCOUVER, British Columbia—SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (the "Company") today announced that it has received assays for the +200 mesh screen fraction of samples from previously reported drill holes 0105 and 0205 on its Million Mountain Project in the Puruni Region of central Guyana. Inclusion of the gold contained in the +200 mesh screen fraction resulted in an overall grade increase of approximately 9% in the total contained gold in the samples from the two holes.

Because of the presence of relatively coarse free milling gold particles in many samples from the Million Mountain Property, the Company commissioned its assay laboratory, Loring Laboratories – Guyana, a subsidiary of Loring Laboratories, Ltd. of Calgary, Alberta, to analyze the coarse screen reject from all samples with pulp (-200 mesh) assays of 1.0 g/t Au or greater. The results of the coarse reject assays were composited with the pulp assays weighted according to each sample's weight percent of the total pulverized sample. Assays from all future holes will be reported inclusive of the coarse metallic component, if any, to more fully reflect the total gold content of the samples.
