NEWS: (Hervorhebungen durch mich) Nemaska Exploration Commences 9,000 m Drill Program and Provides Exploration Update on Whabouchi Lithium/Beryllium Project QUEBEC, CANADA, Nov 30, 2010 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- (TSX VENTURE: NMX) - NEMASKA EXPLORATION INC. ("Nemaska" or the "Corporation") is pleased to provide an update on the on-going exploration program at its 100% owned Whabouchi property (about 1,716 hectares) that is located in the James Bay Region of Quebec. Between October 12 and November 12, 2010, 16 trenches perpendicular to the mineralized zones, spaced approximately 50 m apart and totalling 1,969 m, were dug. In addition, 810 m of stripping was done along strike on 7 contact zones. A total of 670 channel samples were taken from these trenches and stripping areas and were sent for assay. Results are expected in about 6 weeks. During this period, the geological mapping of all the trenches and stripping zones was also completed. In addition, Nemaska recently commenced a 9,000 m diamond drill program (HQ size) on Whabouchi. As of this date, 9 of the 48 holes planned have been completed for a total of 2,038 m. All the mineralized zones were intersected where expected. The objectives of this drill program are to obtain a representative sample across the deposit to be used in pilot plant metallurgical testing planned for winter 2011 and to update the initial resource estimate published on July 14, 2010 by SGS Geostat. The updated resource will include both the drill results and channel samples completed earlier this month. The drilling will also enable the Company to increase its confidence in the resource, a necessary step in moving the project into feasibility stage. Nemaska also confirms that it has retained the services of engineering firm BBA Inc. ("BBA"), of Montreal, to design the open pit for the Whabouchi deposit as part of the Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) currently being prepared by Equapolar Consultants Inc. "We continue to make excellent progress on the development of Whabouchi," commented Guy Bourassa, President and CEO of Nemaska Exploration. "This is a world class hard rock lithium deposit, ranked in the top three in the world by independent analysts, and I am eager to see the results of the PEA which are due in January. The report will determine the timeline to production and our next steps on the project." The technical sections of this press release have been prepared by Yvan Bussieres, P. Eng. qualified person as defined in National instrument 43-101. About Nemaska Nemaska Exploration Inc. is a mineral exploration company involved in the James Bay region of Quebec.
