Monarch Releases Initial Odd Twins Results

Monarch Energy (TSX VENTURE:MNL)(FRANKFURT:EIY1) has received initial results
from its Odd Twins industrial mineral project located near Lourdes on the Port
au Port Peninsula in Western Newfoundland. Three NQ diameter holes were drilled
in late 2010 to test a twin-peaked linear magnetic anomaly that is known from a
ship-borne magnetometer survey in 1969. The holes were drilled from shore into
outcropping exposures of the clastic Winterhouse formation, a steeply dipping
member of the Late Ordovician Long Point Group. All three holes encountered
alternating red, green and buff sandstone and shale beds which ranged in
thickness up to 1 metre.


Three bulk samples were sent to New Brunswick Research Council in Fredericton
for evaluation. Sample J1833-1 is from surface outcrops and Samples 2 and 3 are
from the upper part of drill holes L10-01 and L10-02 respectively. Samples were
crushed and heavy minerals were gravity separated. Concentrates were assayed and
analyzed by Scanning Electron Microprobe. Preliminary results for gold and
platinum group elements are presented in Table 1.

The following results (Table 2) were also reported from whole rock analyses.

Continuing work on the samples will consist of detailed mineralogical studies,
and analyses for rare earth element concentrations. An economic evaluation of
the results is currently under way.
