Jean
Luc Roy, President of El Niņo
states - "These results are very encouraging and El Nino plans to assess
this area in detail over the next few months to see if a resource can be
outlined. We now have been drilling for over a month in Bathurst and we
are very happy with the rate of success in finding sulphide
mineralization on our targets. The Titan 24 Geophysics program is proving
very effective in outlining and defining our drill targets and we
look forward to much more news out of the camp as we continue
drilling over the winter months through to the end of March 2007. We now
have two drill rigs on the site and a third will be in place by the
beginning of December to drill outlined Titan 24 targets, along the Mine
Horizon between the Brunswick No.12 mine and Brunswick No.6.
