THIS PRESS RELEASE, REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE CANADIAN LAWS, IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWS SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES, AND DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER OF THE SECURITIES DESCRIBED HEREIN.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire - Oct. 11, 2011) - St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited (TSX VENTURE: SEM) (“St. Eugene“ or the “Company“) St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited announces new diamond drilling results at the Amisk Gold Joint Venture Project (the “Amisk Gold JV“) in north-eastern Saskatchewan. Highlights from the program include:

- 1.88 grams of Au per tonne and 12.4 grams of Ag per tonne over 24.61 metres in hole AL-11-301

- 0.51 grams of Au per tonne and 2.5 grams of Ag per tonne over 89.75 metres in AL-11-306

Jennifer Boyle, President and CEO of St. Eugene commented, “The summer/fall drill program at the Amisk Gold JV has expanded the limits of the deposit to the east and south-east, and will be key in assessing upgrades to the mineralization within the current resource model.“

To date, 18 holes totalling 5,500 metres have been drilled as part of the summer/fall program at the Amisk Gold JV. Assays have been returned for 14 of the holes, and the four holes that remain pending for assays were completed to evaluate the continuity of the system to depths in excess of 600 metres.

The program tested from surface to in excess of 250 metres depth and was designed to expand the limits of the Amisk Gold JV as well as infill within the northern and eastern portion of the deposit.

Note: Intervals noted are intercepted width not true width, have been calculated using a 0.3 g/tonne cut-off and are uncut. True width is variable between 80 and 100 percent of drilled width. They may include internal dilution intervals of up to 6 metres. NSI (No significant Intercept).

The drilling intersected sulphide mineralization, consistent with the current resource model and is hosted within a sequence of quartz porphyritic, rhyolitic lapilli tuffs and basaltic tuffs. Fourteen drill holes successfully confirmed continuity of gold mineralization within the northern and eastern portion of the deposit as well as demonstrated the potential for expansion to the east and southeast.

Drill core was halved with samples averaging 1.5 metres submitted to ALS Chemex in Vancouver, an ISO approved facility. Quality assurance and quality control procedures have been implemented including the use of blanks, standards and duplicates. Core samples were analyzed by a 30 gram gold fire assay with an atomic absorption, conventional gravimetric and/or screen fire techniques.

The Amisk Gold JV is a joint venture between Claude Resources Inc. (“Claude“) and St. Eugene. St. Eugene holds a 35% participating interest in the Amisk Gold JV and Claude holds a 65% interest and is the operator of the joint venture.

The Amisk Gold JV's independent NI 43-101 resource estimate (completed by SRK Consulting (Canada) Inc. and released April 4, 2011) resulted in an indicated mineral resource of 921,000 ounces at 0.95 g/t AuEq and an additional inferred mineral resource of 645,000 ounces at 0.70 g/t AuEq. A total of 548,100 ounces is attributed to St. Eugene for this project.
