Entourage Mining Announces Encouraging Results from Doran Uranium
Project
Vancouver, Canada, Nov. 22, 2005: Entourage Mining Ltd. (the "Company")
(OTCBB: ETGMF) reports that the summer-fall exploration work on the
Company's Doran uranium property, located in Costebelle Township,
Quebec, is complete. The Doran property is located 18 km west of
Aguanish north of the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Quebec.
History Of Property
Previous work on the Doran property described by Dennis Fairbairn,
P.Eng., reported, in a report prepared for Aguanish Uranium Inc. dated
November 1977, previous to the establishment of NI 43-101 requirements,
that '...significant tonnages of ore-grade material have been found;
...[O]utcrop rock with grades of from six to ten pounds of U308 can be
observed and sampled. Diamond drill core from three short holes
assayed, chemically, 6.4, 6.4,and 9.6 lbs per ton.' The Company has
determined that a drill program is necessary to create current, NI
43-101 compliant, geological data for the Claims and would be necessary
to confirm the reliability and relevance of original data contained in
Mr. Fairbairn's report.
Erik A. Ostensoe, P. Geo. and a "Qualified Person" as that term is
defined in National Policy 43-101, has prepared a summary report on the
exploration activities and has reviewed this news release and its
preparation.
Here are some excerpts from the summary report of Mr. Ostensoe:
"The Main Zone grid of cleared, measured and flagged lines comprised
thirty-one 800 meter long lines, spaced 50 meters apart, (total length
24.8 km) and two end lines, each 1500 meters long, that served as
control measures. The North Zone grid included ten lines with length
400-500 meters each (total length 5.15 km). Sufficient GPS observations
were recorded to enable accurate plotting of grids. Almost 200 rock
and rock chip samples were obtained as part of the recent work. These
will, when analyzed, enable a preliminary determination of the merits
of the Doran property. The initial results of work in the field
indicate high "counts per second" scintillometer readings, indicative
of concentrations of radioactive mineralization. The areas of interest
have large surface dimensions and, if they can be shown to have
vertical persistence, may have important volumes of potentially
mineable materials and thus have the potential, with further work, to
become high tonnage deposits with economically attractive amounts of
uranium."
Exploration Summary
"The 2005 program of work commenced in mid-August when a crew of
line-cutters prepared a grid of cleared, flagged and measured lines
over the principal "target" area ("Main Zone") and a similar although
smaller grid on the "North" target area. The latter is about 4 km (2.4
miles) north of the Main Zone. Technical work, comprising geological
mapping, geophysical surveys and an extensive program of rock chip and
bedrock channel sampling, followed in September."
The exploration program was conducted by four experienced geologists
and a technical school graduate; Geotronics Surveys Ltd. of Surrey
British Columbia provided a two person crew that in a one week period
completed radiometric and magnetic surveys of both grids. The area
of exploration covered approximately 25% of the Doran property and
approximately 177 rock chip and trench samples were taken and sent for
analysis.
Sample Results
Mr. Ostensoe has been commissioned by the Company to prepare an NI
43-101 compliant technical report on the property, which will be filed
in the New Year, and has made the following comments on the sample
results:
One hundred and forty-one samples from the Doran property Main Grid
area and twenty-three samples from the North Grid area, were analyzed
for 36 elements by an accredited laboratory using induced coupled
plasma and mass spectrometry methods. Samples were from narrow saw-cut
channels across bedrock exposures in areas of elevated radiometric
readings.
Uranium determinations range from 1.4 ppm to greater than 2000 ppm
(including one sample that assayed 3300 ppm or 3.3 kilograms per metric
tonne); the latter samples will be re-analyzed by an alternative
laboratory method in order to obtain more precise uranium values.
Evaluation of the analytical data is in progress and all analyses will
be plotted along with other field data to help determine the course of
future work on the Doran property.
Drill Target Identification
A preliminary evaluation of the available data suggests that a large
area of low to medium grade uranium mineralization is exposed and that
further surface work is required to investigate other parts of the
claims. A program of drilling will be planned in order to better test
the distribution and vertical persistence of uranium values and to
obtain samples of un-weathered material.
Forward-Looking Statements:
Except for historical information contained herein, the statements in
this Press Release may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which may
cause Entourage Mining Ltd.'s actual results in future periods to
differ materially from forecasted results. These risks and
uncertainties include, among other things, volatility of commodity
prices, product demand, market competition, and risks inherent in
Entourage Mining Ltd.'s operations. These and other risks are described
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F and other filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
