804? 80 RICHMOND ST. WEST TORONTO, ONTARIO M5H 2A4PHONE [phone]FAX [phone]ST. EUGENE?S DRILLING RESULTS EXPAND MINERALIZATION AT TARTAN LAKE GOLD MINE PROJECT, MANITOBAToronto, Ontario. August 30, 2011: St. Eugene Mining Corporation Limited (TSXV?SEM) (?St. Eugene?) announces that it has completed its Phase 1 surface drilling program on its 100% owned Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project (?Tartan?). All 19 holes in the drilling program (4,123 metres) intersected gold mineralization in shear zones, namely, shear zones with quartz? tourmaline?carbonate veins related to pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization. The drilling successfully expanded the system at Tartan along strike by an additional 100 metres to the east and south. Significant results include:

? 27.57 g/t Au over 0.69 m in hole TL?11?03

? 29.6 g/t Au over 0.50 m in hole TL?11?05

To date, the Company has received assays from holes one (1) to five (5). Hole one was reported in a news release dated July 12, 2011.

The delineation and step?out drilling was carried out to test the areas between: (i) South and Southeast Zone, and areas to the south of the zones; (ii) Ruby Lake area; and (iii) the geophysical anomaly north of the Main Zone.

Jennifer Boyle, President and Chief Executive Officer of St. Eugene commented, "Our initial drill program on the Tartan Lake deposit successfully confirmed gold mineralization in the resource blocks identified by the previous operators. We are very pleased with the consistency and continuity of the mineralized vein structures and the high gold grades intersected. This new data will be combined with the historical drill results in an effort to update the NI 43?101 resource estimate and extend the mineralized zones".

Core logging and splitting is ongoing, and being prepared for shipment to TSL Laboratories Inc. (?TSL Labs?), an accredited laboratory, for assaying in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. In addition to the results reported in the previous news release, selected assay results from those received to date are listed in Table 1.

*The reported length is core length.

St. Eugene anticipates receiving additional assay results from TSL Labs through to the end of September 2011. The drill core samples are split on the property, with half sent to TSL Labs. The samples are fire assayed with an AA and gravimetric finish. Rigorous QAQC procedure is implemented and check samples, blanks and standards are inserted into the sample stream. The core lengths are actual lengths as drilled and have not been adjusted for the true width of the mineralized zones. The sampling and preparation of the drill core is being conducted under the supervision of Dr. Tania Ilieva, P. Geo., who is the designated Qualified Person for the project.

A plan map of the Tartan Lake Gold Mine Project and a detailed map showing current drill collar locations can be viewed at St. Eugene?s website www.steugenemining.ca.

Tania Ilieva, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration, is the Qualified Person who has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release for and on behalf of St. Eugene.
