VANCOUVER, BC -- (Marketwire) -- 09/22/08 -- SACRE-COEUR MINERALS, LTD. (TSX-V: SCM) (the "Company") is pleased to report that it has received the interim NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Zone 1 of its Million Mountain Project located in the Lower Puruni Region of Guyana South America. The estimate prepared by internationally recognized firms, Pincock Allen & Holt ("PAH") working jointly with MAPTEK/KRJA, both of Lakewood, Colorado, includes Measured Resources of 12,119,285 tonnes grading 1.0 g/t Au and Indicated Resources of 2,175,278 tons grading 0.9 g/t Au. Total contained gold is 451,397 tr oz Au (388,456 tr oz Au Measured and 62,941 tr oz Au Indicated).

Official publication of the NI 43-101 compliant technical report, including the resource estimate, as prepared by PAH along with their attendant press release will follow shortly.

The scope of this resource estimate is limited to Zone 1 of the Million Mountain Project which has been drilled by the Company over the past two years. It is considered an interim estimate as assay results for approximately 20 additional holes were not received in time for inclusion in this resource model. An updated NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate for Zone 1 along with resource estimates for additional drilling of Zone 1 and other zones currently being drilled will be prepared on an ongoing basis as additional drilling results are compiled.

Zone 1, which is the original discovery zone on the Million Mountain Project, has been drilled to a depth of approximately 200 meters below surface. Since the initial discovery, the Company's geologic team has discovered seven additional highly prospective zones, all of which exhibit strongly anomalous gold values at surface and which bear geologic characteristics similar to Zone 1. The areal extent of mineralization of Zone 1 comprises less than five percent of the aggregate area of all identified zones targeted for core drilling. The trend defined by zones 1 - 8 is approximately 8 kilometres in length.

According to Irwin Olian, CEO of the Company, "We are extremely encouraged by the resource identified to date contained in Zone 1. The seven additional zones identified by our field efforts over the past two years provide in aggregate more than 20 times the mineralized target area contained in Zone 1. Together these 8 zones present a real opportunity for a large regional complex. Accordingly, we are aggressively expanding our drilling program to test the additional zones and to continue expansion of Zone 1."
