Kerr Mines Commences 6,000-Meter Underground Exploration Drill Program on McGarry Deposit

Kerr Mines Inc. (the "Company") announces the commencement of a 6,000-metre underground exploration drill program on the McGarry Deposit in Larder Lake. The Company has retained the services of Cabo Drilling of Kirkland Lake who have mobilized to site in Virginiatown, Ontario.

The Company is currently conducting an advanced underground exploration program on the McGarry Deposit which consists of infill drilling and test mining.

Exploration targets for this exploration program include former gold showings such as the Armistice Mill zone located to the south of the McGarry mine workings. This drill program will be using the 2,250 foot level of the McGarry Mine as a drilling platform to test these targets at depth. Little exploration has been conducted outside the main mine trend, yet these areas are known hosts to numerous historical gold showings. Results of the drilling will be announced upon completion of the program and receipt of the final assays.

The technical aspects of this press release have been reviewed and approved by David Beilhartz, Vice-President, Exploration and the "Qualified Person", as defined by National Instrument 43-101, for the Company.
