September 6, 2006

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (the “Company”) is pleased to report that Guyana's national election has come to a peaceful conclusion. Led by incumbent President Bharrat Jagdeo, who was re-elected for a second 5-year term, the PPP/C party received 54.6% of the 336,375 valid votes in the election. It gained two parliamentary seats from 2001 to bring its present total to 36 of the 65. The main opposition PNCR coalition accounted for 34% of the vote. Overall, voter turnout was 69% from the 492,369 voters on the official list. After declaration of the results on August 31, the populace reacted with stability reflecting the general sense that a credible election had taken place.

According to U.S. Ambassador to Guyana, David Robinson, as reported in leading newspaper Stabroek News, the opposition parties' acceptance of the results is "extraordinarily responsible" and he believes the violence-free elections "are a very good sign of democratic maturity." It reflects responsible behaviour on behalf of the electorate, the Guyana Elections Commission and the elections staff, as well as the security service.

Irwin Olian, CEO of the Company, adds: "The peaceful election is a great step forward for miner-friendly Guyana and certainly suggests a continuation of political stability for the country. While Sacre-Coeur maintains a steadfast policy of political neutrality, we are delighted for the country as a whole with the successful election and offer our congratulations to the PPP party and President Jagdeo. We are confident that Guyana's parliamentary-style government will be able to meet its future development challenges under this leadership team."
