TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 3, 2010) - St. Eugene Mining Corporation Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:SEM) ("St. Eugene" or the "Company") continues to demonstrate potential with further drill intercepts from its exploration program at the Amisk Gold Project in northeastern Saskatchewan, Canada. This news release reports the second assay results from the ongoing $1.1 million exploration programme at the Amisk Gold Project, which is administered by Claude Resources Inc. under a joint venture with Claude Resources. St. Eugene holds a participating 35% interest in the project. The following information is extracted from a release issued today by JV Manager Claude Resources, the contents of which were reviewed and approved by Brian Skanderbeg., P Geo. and M.Sc., VP Exploration and the Qualified Person for Claude.
A total of 11 holes were completed and assayed from the 2010 winter drill program. The intercepts tested from surface to approximately 300 metres depth with mineralization intercepted in all holes. The results from the remaining six holes as well as those previously released are presented below.

"These 11 holes from the winter drill program have successfully confirmed near-surface, potentially bulk-mineable gold and silver mineralization. A significant number of the holes ended in mineralization. To date we have tested a strike length of 550 metres, with the potential to expand the system to the west, southwest and down dip to the northeast. These results are very encouraging and we look to expand on them through the summer program," stated Brian Skanderbeg, Vice President Exploration.
A summer exploration program, inclusive of resampling of historic core and further diamond drilling, is scheduled to begin in June.
The 12,100 hectare Amisk Gold Project is located in Saskatchewan, 20 kilometres southwest of Flin Flon, Manitoba. Claude Resources holds a 65 percent working interest in the project, with St. Eugene Mining Corporation Ltd. holding the remainder. Claude also holds a 16.3 percent interest in St. Eugene's issued and outstanding common shares as of May 31st, 2010.

Brian Skanderbeg, P.Geo. M.Sc., Claude's Vice-President Exploration, is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release. Drill core was halved and samples averaging 1.0 to 1.5 meters were submitted to TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, an ISO approved facility. Rigorous quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented including the use of blanks, standards and duplicates (1 in 20 samples). Core samples were analyzed by a 30 gram gold fire assay with an atomic absorption, conventional gravimetric and/or screen fire techniques.
Claude Resources holds a 16% interest in St. Eugene's issued and outstanding common shares.
