Chibougamau Independent Mines Drilling at Berrigan
Intersects Wide Mineralized Zones
ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC - Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (CBG-TSX-V in Canada, CLL1 -
Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin and Lang & Schwarz Stock Exchanges in Germany, CMAUF -OTC in the US) is
pleased to report the results from drilling in the area of Chibougamau Independent’s 100% owned
Berrigan property in McKenzie township, (NTS 32G16) northwest of the town of Chibougamau, Quebec.
Two drill holes were completed: BT-22-14 for a total of 571.7 m and BT-22-15 for a total of 369 m.
Hole BT-22-15 intersected two zones of highly anomalous zinc, gold, and silver mineralization within a
core length of 73.2 m (239.5. ft). A first zone between 135.7 m to 154.3 m, returned 2.32 % Zn, 1.15 g/t
Au and 7.92 g/t Ag over 15.9 m (52.17ft) and a second zone between 180.6 m to 203.5 m, returned
2.19 % Zn, 2.02g/t Au and 22.46 g/t Ag over 22.9 m (75.13 ft). Higher grade intersections are as
follows:

Laboratory and Assay Methods
Chibougamau Independent Mines’ core sampling including the quality assurance/quality control
program is performed internally by Chibougamau Independent Mines personnel under the immediate
supervision of Chibougamau Independent Mines project geologist. The samples are prepared in the
coreshack, they are tagged and sealed in plastic bags and are delivered directly by Chibougamau
Independent Mines personnel to Expert Laboratories Inc, located at 750 -A, rue Saguenay, Ro uyn-
Noranda. The laboratory conducts all aspects of the sample preparation including drying and crushing to
a minus 10 mesh screen size and the processing of a 300-gram sub sample for pulverization to a nominal
minus 200 mesh size with the remaining crush ed reject material being retained for storage. For gold
assaying, a 29.16-gram sub-sample of the pulp (1 assay -ton) is taken, fused following the standard
procedures used in a fire assay method. The gold content of all samples is determined using atomic
Absorption Spectroscopy. Samples containing greater than 1gpt gold are subjected to a re -assay
whereby the gold content is determined using a gravimetric fire assay method. For base metal assaying
(copper, zinc including silver and cobalt) a 0.5g sample is initially treated by aqua regia digestion with
nitric and hydrochloric acid and subsequently analyzed by a spectrometer of atomic absorption finish.
Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the routine insertion of blanks, duplicates and
reference accredited low/high grade standards at 20 sample intervals in Chibougamau Independent
Mines’ sample stream. This is in addition to the routine blanks, duplicates (gold, silver, copper, zinc and
cobalt) and accredited standards insertion by Expert Labo ratories during the course of the assaying
process.
Neither the TSX Venture Exchange nor its Regulation Services Provider (as that term is defined in the policies of
the TSX Venture Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of the release.
We Seek Safe Harbour.
