Attention Business Editors:

FN Series drilling program confirms new zone of gold mineralization at Bruce Channel

     TSX: GEA
     TORONTO, Sept. 10 /CNW/ - Gold Eagle Mines Ltd. (TSX: GEA) ("Gold Eagle"
or the "Company") is pleased to announce its latest drill results from the FN
Series of holes on its 100% owned Gold Eagle property in Red Lake, Ontario.
The Gold Eagle property is situated along the Red Lake Trend, west of
Goldcorp's Red Lake and Campbell Mines and immediately south-west of
Goldcorp's Cochenour-Willans Mine.
     Highlights
     -   Latest drilling results from the FN Series (FN 1-2 and FN 1-3)
         confirms a significant new area of gold mineralization, named the
         Finn Zone (after Finntown, one of the first settlements on
         McKenzie Island).
     -   The Finn Zone lies within the Balmer Assemblage approximately
         450 metres west-southwest of the Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized
         envelope.
     -   Drilling is continuing at the FN Series and results will be released
         once they become available.
     -   Upon completion of the FN Series of holes, the rig will be moved to
         the Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized envelope, and will commence a
         series of step-out holes towards the Finn Zone.

     The FN Series are collared on McKenzie Island approximately
1.5�kilometres west-southwest of the collar of BC 21 on the mainland.
     The FN Series holes were initiated as a regional reconnaissance
exploration program designed to obtain data on the stratigraphy and geology of
the south-eastern area of the Gold Eagle property. Drilling has successfully
intersected carbonate zones and host rocks which bear striking similarities to
units intersected within the current Bruce Channel Discovery mineralized
envelope which lies approximately 450 metres away.
     FN 1-2
     The FN 1-2 "wedge" hole was started as a step-out from the FN 1-1
"mother" hole at a depth of 1,040 metres with an azimuth of 173 degrees and a
dip of 081 degrees. It was pushed south-eastwards before being allowed to
curve gradually to the northeast to its final depth of 2,529.6 metres.
     See map, "Drill Plan (FN Series-Sept07)", on the company website
http://www.goldeaglemines.com
     FN 1-2 intersected a strong carbonate zone within the Balmer Assemblage
with associated silicification from approximately 2,404 metres to
2,413�metres. This was followed by a succession of altered mafic, volcanic and
clastic sediments to the final hole depth.
     Significant results are as follows:

     FN 1-3
     The FN 1-3 "wedge" hole was started as a step-out from the FN 1-2 hole at
a depth of 1,495 metres with an azimuth of 099 degrees and a dip of -73
degrees. Two further wedges were used to push the hole further to the south to
allow for a large step out. The hole reached a depth of 2,559.25 metres at a
horizontal distance from FN 1-2 of approximately 140 metres. The hole
intersected a series of altered mafic, volcanic and clastic sediments with
minor associated cherts.

     -   It is anticipated that true width estimates will be made possible
         after additional drilling
     -   Conversion Method: grams per tonne (g/t) multiplied by 0.292 equals

     FN 1-4
     The FN 1-4 "wedge" hole was started as a step-out from the FN 1-3 hole at
a depth of 1,697 metres. It was wedged to the south of FN 1-3 to allow for
another cut at the mineralized zone below 2,000 metres. The final depth of the
drill hole is 2,528 metres. Detailed logging and sampling are currently under
way and assay results will be released when available.
     FN 1-5
     The FN 1-5 "wedge" hole (which has now commenced drilling) started from
FN 1-2 at a depth of 1,445.30 metres with an azimuth of 102 degrees and a dip
of -74 degrees. This is the final hole planned from the FN Series at this
stage of the program. This hole is also testing the continuity and extent of
the Finn Zone gold mineralization.
