VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 13, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Entourage Mining Ltd. ("Entourage" or the "Company") (OTCBB:ETGMF) wishes to report on the 2006 winter diamond-drilling program being carried out in the Weirdale-Smeaton area of Saskatchewan. Ivan Young, P. Geo, and a "qualified person" as that term is defined in NI 43-101 has informed the Company that drilling on the second anomaly, D-WJ-7 has intersected kimberlite at a depth of 194.1 meters.
Here is a summary of the drilling completed to date:
Target One Anomaly C-Gpp-2
Further to the Company news release, dated January 10, 2006, wherein the Company stated: "the Operator intersected kimberlite (WD-2(a)) or a closely related kimberlitic rock type (now established as kimberlite from petrographic analysis) on the first target in the Smeaton/Forte a la Corne diamond prospect drilling program", the Company has drilled an additional hole (WD-3) on this magnetic anomaly. WD-3 was drilled into this magnetic anomaly 30 meters north east of WD-2. This hole was completed at a depth of 349.0 meters. Kimberlite was intersected in WD-3 from 181.0 meters to 332.7 meters. ((a) Drill hole WD-1 was drilled with incorrect GPS coordinates and is not considered meaningful in the Company's data)
Target Two Anomaly D-WJ-7
WD-4 was drilled to test magnetic anomaly D-WJ-7, located 11.8km north east of magnetic anomaly C-Gpp-2. This hole was completed at a depth of 288.6 meters where abnormal drilling conditions were encountered. Kimberlite was intersected in WD-4 from 194.1 meters to 281.3 meters.
Mr. Young also reports that: "drill core from WD-3 (Target No. 1, second drill hole) is being split and will be sent to the Saskatchewan Research Council in Saskatoon for caustic fusion for diamond recovery and indicator mineral analysis."
Kimberlite is being used as a "field term" in this news release pending completion of detailed petrographic work. Ivan Young has reviewed the contents of this news release.
