NEMASKA CONTINUES TO REPORT HIGH-GRADE INTERSECTIONS FROM WHABOUCHI LITHIUM PROJECT

Nemaska Exploration Inc. has provided the results from five additional holes of its drill program recently completed on its 100-per-cent-owned Whabouchi project. In total 8,909 metres have been drilled in 43 holes. The results continue to illustrate the high grade of the main mineralized zone and confirm the presence of smaller dikes to the south of the Main zone. Highlights include: 25.5 metres at 2.28 per cent Li2O, 23.0 m at 1.92 per cent Li2O and 11.9 m at 2.36 per cent Li2O. The results of the initial 17 holes have been released in Stockwatch on March 24 and April 11, 2011.

The intersections from these five holes are as displayed in the table.

The company has reported the intersection lengths as well as the best estimates of the true widths given the current understanding of the geology. The drill holes were done at an average azimuth of 330 degrees and a dip of 50 degrees. The pegmatite bands have generally an azimuth of 60 degrees and a southeast dip of 70 degrees to 80 degrees.

All samples have been shipped to the Table Jamesienne de Concertation Miniere (TJCM) in Chibougamau, Que., for preparation process: inventory, drying, weigh, crushing, split and pulverization. The pulverized portions were then sent by secured courier to either the laboratory of SGS Mineral Services in Don Mills, Ont., or to the ALS Chemex facilities in North Vancouver, B.C., for lithium, beryllium and rubidium analysis by inductively coupled plasma methods. These laboratories are recognized by the industry and accredited ISO/MEC 17025 by the Standards Council of Canada. In addition to the quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) employed by SGS and ALS, Nemaska Exploration develops a rigorous QA/QC protocol for its operators, including the insertion of analytical standard samples, duplicates and coarse silica blanks on a systematic basis. To determine the QC warning, plus or minus two times standard deviation, and QC failure plus or minus three times standard deviation were used. QC results did not highlight any significant analytical bias.
