Discovery of Kimberlite boulders on L’Espérance property

Matamec Explorations Inc. ("Matamec") is pleased to announce that Superior Diamonds Inc. (“Superior”) recently announced the discovery of several kimberlite boulders on the L’Espérance property, of which 10,283 of 13,399 hectares is optioned from Matamec and IAMGOLD Corporation. Superior also plans a third drilling campaign during the first half of 2008 (see Superior’s press release as of November 13th, 2007). These boulders are large and angular, weighing between 70 and 360 kilograms, indicating proximity to source. The boulders are scattered over a distance of approximately 650 metres in an area where kimberlite indicator minerals with geochemistry usually indicative of potentially diamondiferous kimberlite were recovered from overburden. A representative sample of these blocks was submitted to Overburden Drilling Management Limited (ODM) which described the material as being hypabyssal kimberlite. By their size and their angular shape, these blocks probably originate directly on top or less than a few hundreds metres down-ice from the source. The geological data in this press release was prepared by Aline Leclerc, geologist, Matamec’s Vice-President Exploration and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. Matamec also announces that exploration work is in progress on the Montclerg, Tansim, Vulcain and Zeus properties. The results of these activities will phentermine pills without prescription be announced as soon as they are available. Furthermore, Matamec is pleased to announce the exercise of 1,000,000 warrants expiring on December 9th, 2007, for net proceeds of $130,000 which will be used for working capital purposes.
