Chibougamau Independent Mines to Drill Bateman Bay

and Grandroy Mine Properties

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC - Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE: CBG) (STUT:CLL)

(OTC Markets (USA) : CMAUF ) is pleased to inform shareholders that it w ill be drilling again at the C -3

Copper-Gold Zone on the Bateman Bay property and on the Grandroy Copper Gold Mine property , both

in Roy township about 10 km east of the town of Chibougamau.

Chibougamau has been quietly doing ground work over the last two years in order to define targets and

to understand the genesis of a number of the deposits on its properties, particularly on our C-3 Zone on

Bateman Bay, Grandroy and Berrigan properties as well as a number of other exploration assets.

After detailed mapping , structural studies, stripping, assaying and rock geochemistry , Chibougamau

Independent Mines has identified a number of priority targets, several of which will now be drilled. The

first target will be the depth and southeast extension of the C -3 Zone where previous drilling returned

wide intersections of copper, silver and gold mineralization (see previous press releases referencing the

C-3 Zone for details).

The se cond target is on the Grandroy c opper-gold property where our senior geologist interpreted a

potentially new northeast -southwest ore control structure that traverses the deposit which was mined

via an open pit and accessed underground by a ramp from the pi t floor. Two holes will test an area

below the level of previous mining along the newly interpreted control structure.

Of note , Chibougamau was approached by several companies that are interested in acquiring

Chibougamau’s properties or the Company as a whole. None of these lengthy discussions led to an

acceptable proposal, thus our decision to resume testing targets defined by our previous work.

In other news, Vanadium One Energy Corp. (VONE -TSXV) has earned 100% interest in Chibougamau

Independent Mi nes Inc’s Mont Sorcier Iron/Titanium/Vanadium property by meeting the one million

dollar exploration expenditure requirement and paying Chibougamau the cash and shares per the

contract. The large Mont Sorcier Iron/Titanium/Vanadium Zone has very low titanium content in Davis

Tube Magnetic concentrates. This is an important metallurgical advantage when treating and recovering

vanadium from this type of deposit. Vanadium One have also announced that they have engaged CSA

Global to undertake a NI 43 -101 res ource estimate and technical report. Chibougamau Independent
