D'Arianne Adds 55 New Claims to Opinaca.


CHICOUTIMI, Quebec Coordinates:  Chicoutimi was a city in the Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean region of Quebec.  -- The management of D'Arianne Resources Inc. (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002)

 VENTURE:DAR) is pleased to announce the acquisition, byway of claim designation, of 100 % of 55 new claims covering an area of 2,860 hectares. This new property is located on the east-north-east border of the Company's currently owned Opinaca property, located south of the Opinaca reservoir. The approval by Quebec's Natural Resources Ministry is pending.

Works in progress.

As previously announced, the management of D'Arianne started its 3,000-meter drilling program on the Opinaca property. More than 300 meters were completed so far.

The 3,000-metre program will focus on the Contact showing which returned very good gold results, up to 567 grams per tonne tonne

Contact zone

The works done during the summer and fall of 2005 confirmed the presence of a 50-metre by 300-metre gold corridor. During the initial sampling program in July, 2005, 10 chosen samples from the Contact zone returned more than one g/t Au, with two samples grading 85.7 g/t Au and 567 g/t Au (see Stockwatch news dated Sept. 27, 2005).

During last fall's program, 60 channel samples extracted from the Contact zone (see Stockwatch news dated Oct. 27, 2005) confirmed the potential of this important gold structure. From the 60 samples recovered, seven values were higher than 10 g/t Au with two grading 38.13 g/t Au and 105.81 g/t Au, and 18 samples returned grades higher than five g/t Au. Fifteen channel samples from this same zone returned more than one g/t Au. All of these results originating from a group of quartz veins within a mineralized corridor 30 metres wide confirm an important gold presence in this geological context.

The continuing drilling will test the attitude of the veins at depth and their lateral extensions, as well as the average gold grades of these veins, located within this important alteration Modification; changing a thing without obliterating it.

The Chino zone is located 1.4 kilometres east of the Contact zone. Previous exploration completed in the 1990s showed interesting potential for gold in this area of the Opinaca property. On this zone, four gold-bearing veins were identified and partially channelled.

Channel sample results showed grades up to 7.94 g/t Au on four metres, including 24.69 g/t Au on one metre metre

These showings reveal interesting gold potential and management is planning important mapping works as well as striping Interleaving or multiplexing data to increase speed. See disk striping.

 and channel sampling in the next spring in order to identify the best drilling targets on this other gold zone.

Renard zone

Located more than 2.5 kilometres southwest of the Contact zone, the Renard gold zone also holds interesting results. Chosen samples returned assays up to 6.38 g/t Au (GM56347). This third favourable gold zone will also be worked on in the spring to improve the understanding of the geological context.

Management is confident to identify additional showings on this property during future surface works.

The drilling campaign is done under the supervision of Bernard Lapointe, PhD, a National Instrument 43-101 qualified person, and assays will be performed at Laboratoire Expert Inc. of Rouyn-Noranda.
