War Eagle Mining Company Inc. (TSX Venture Exchange - WAR) (the "Company"). announces that surface diamond drill holes G0 1, 3, 7 and 8 , all located between 60 meters ( 197feet) to 90 meters ( 295 feet) south of the Tres Marias Mine have significantly extended the known mineralized body and are located some 25 meters ( 80 feet ) apart. High grade mineralization was encountered in each hole as follows:

Drill holes 2, 4, 5 and 6 were exploratory holes drilled elsewhere with nominal results. The samples above were assayed by Copperstate Analytical Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona.

At the recent 2007 Minor Metals & Rare Earths Conference held in Hong Kong, it was once again confirmed that among the minor metals, Germanium (Ge), continues to attract a significant and important role in the sector. While the major producers, such as Teck Cominco and Umicore, highlighted both the increase in demand and worldwide production, the smaller and up and coming mining operators such as War Eagle were at the center of the spotlight as future producers. It was pointed out that demand worldwide will continue to be China based and China driven. Current trends indicate that China has already become a net importer of the ore worldwide and presently has the largest smelter operations for processing of Ge tetrachloride and Ge metal.

It is forecasted that demand will continue to drive up pricing significantly in the next twelve to twenty-four months as USA government stockpiles continue to sell off. Current prices of Ge metal are approximately $1,150/kg. and could reach upwards of $1,400/kg to $1,700/kg or more given the demand trends for China's technology boom. Such companies as War Eagle Mining, which is expected to bring their Germanium Zinc ore into production in 2008, will benefit significantly from this demand shift which is not expected to diminish in the foreseeable future.
