("El Nino") (TSX.V:\nELN; OTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q) is pleased to announce that the province of\nNew Brunswick has committed funding for the second and last year of the\nexploration program of the option period which has started on April 1st, 2007,\nand will terminate on March 31st, 2008. The program will consist of ground\ngeophysical surveys (Titan 24), a review of the airborne Mega TEM data, soil\ngeochemical surveys followed-up by a diamond drilling program. At this stage,\nit is proposed to survey five main target areas with the Titan 24 ground\ngeophysical survey system totaling approximately 135 line km. A diamond\ndrilling program testing the Titan 24 targets as well as a series of various\ntypes of targets will consist of approximately 25,000 meters in 50 diamond\ndrill holes. Field work is scheduled to resume in June 2007 with line cutting,\nground geophysics and diamond drilling.\n\n\nUpdate on the Bathurst First Year Work Program with Xstrata Zinc Canada\n\n\nEl Nino is also pleased to announce that drill hole ELN-07-129, comprised\nin the 2006-2007 Bathurst drilling program with Xstrata Zinc Canada, has\nintersected a horizon of massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization\ninterpreted to represent the up-dip, near surface, extension of the Gilmour\nSouth mineralized trend. The sulphide zone was intersected between 163.70 and\n166.60 meters down hole with combined assay results grading 3.39% Zn, 2.86%\nPb, 0.15% Cu and 8.36 g/t Ag over 2.80 meters including an intercept of\n1.10 meters at 6.63% Zn, 5.65% Pb, 0.29% Cu and 16.10 g/t Ag.\n\n\nThe Gilmour mineralized trend was originally discovered in 1977. The\nsouthern extension of this trend, Gilmour South, was discovered in 1995 and\nsubsequently drilled on a 200 meter spaced drill pattern, by Noranda\nExploration between 1995 and 2000. The mineralized trend consists of\nintermittent massive to semi-massive sulphide mineralization of varying grades\nand thickness ranging from 18.20% Zn and 11.20% Pb over 0.22 meters to 1.10%\nZn over 23.70 meters. The zone is untested from surface down to the 200 meter\nmark below surface and along most of the 1400 meter strike length extension.\nThe mineralized trend occurs along the Brunswick Horizon in a geolo...
