(VDR - TSX Venture), (\"Vendome\" or the \"Corporation\") and Richmond Minerals Inc. (\"Richmond\") are pleased to announce that exploration work will begin at the Highway 101 Property (the \"Property\") in Guibord Township, Larder Lake Mining Division, Ontario.  Richmond presently owns a 100% in the Property. Vendome has an agreement with Richmond whereby it can earn a 51% interest in the Property by incurring $250,000 in exploration expenditures before April of 2012 and issuing to Richmond 600,000 common shares of Vendome stock, of which 400,000 common shares has already been issued.  The exploration work will consist of an initial 1,200-meter program diamond drill program. The Property is located in the Abitibi Greenstone belt, which hosts the Porcupine and Kirkland Lake mining camps.  The Property lies approximately 80 kilometres east of the City of Timmins Ontario.  It is approximately 1,280 acres (518 hectares) in size and consists of 32 unpatented mining claim units in the northwest quarter of Guibord Township. Barrick Gold Corporation's Fenn-Gibb gold deposit adjoins the Property immediately to the east. In 2000, it was reported that the probable reserves of the main zone at Fenn-Gibb within 250 metres of surface were 1.95 million tonnes grading 5.13 grams per tonne. Since 1996, over 5,500 meters of diamond drilling has been completed at the Property, the hi-lights of which include gold intersections of 7.2 grams per tonne over 6.52 meters and 5.95 grams per tonne over 1.7 meters.Historical exploration work within Guibord Township has determined that potentially significant economic gold occurrences are sometimes associated with north-northeast and northwest striking brittle and ductile faults in the district. These faults are known to occur on the Property and will be the primary targets for the upcoming exploration work.  Specifically, a previously untested westward striking shear zone extending from the Fenn-Gibb deposit onto the Property will be the primary diamond drilling target. The budget for this phase of exploration work is $150,000.About VendomeThe Corporation currently has approximately $400,000, no liabilities and 21,075,833 common shares is...
