SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (the 'Company') is pleased to announce
the closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement
which has raised gross proceeds of CAD $2.575 Million. Under the terms
of the private placement, the Company has issued 4,681,863 Units (the
'Units?) at CAD $0.55 per Unit to a group of accredited private and
institutional investors.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company and one-half of
one share purchase warrant (the 'Warrants?). Each whole Warrant entitles
the holder to purchase one additional common share of the Company at an
exercise price of CAD $0.75 until March 15, 2013.

The Company paid cash finders′ fees of CAD $44,467, representing 1.73%
of the aggregate proceeds of the offering. The Units are subject to a
4-month hold period in Canada expiring July 16, 2011.

Proceeds from the private placement will be used to explore the
Company′s properties located in Guyana and for working capital.
According to Gregory Sparks, CEO of the Company, 'We are delighted with
the investor response to our offering. This additional capital will
allow us to continue our budgeted programs in 2011 as we ramp-up
alluvial gold production and drilling on the Million Mountain trend.'
