TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 7, 2011) - St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited (News - Market indicators) ("St. Eugene" or the "Company") announces that it has suspended the previously announced transaction with Churchill Natural Resource Partners, L.P. to investigate the potential of revised terms acceptable to key shareholders. In the meantime, the Company shall continue to conduct its business in the normal course.

The Company further announces that both the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project and Amisk Gold Joint Venture Project have diamond drilling programs currently underway. At the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project, 1,325 meters have been drilled to date (6 holes), primarily testing the south west extension of the "South Zone", "West Baseline Zone" and "East Baseline Zone" as well as new anomalies identified from the geophysical airborne survey. The majority of targets tested to date are proximal to the existing underground mine at Tartan.

At the Amisk Gold Joint Venture Project, operator Claude Resources is currently conducting a 6,000 meter diamond drill campaign to confirm and upgrade the established mineral resources of 921,000 Ounces at 0.95 g/tonne Au Eq (Indicated) and 645,000 Ounces at 0.70 g/tonne Au Eq (Inferred). The program also plans to evaluate potential for increased resources surrounding the pit shell that defines the existing resource. To date, 5 infill holes have been completed (980 meters).

Metallurgical test work for the Amisk Gold Joint Venture Project is in progress with results expected shortly. Environmental test work, including acid-base accounting and metal leach analyses has been contracted to an independent metallurgical consultant, with a planned start date in mid-July.
