Chibougamau Independent Continues Exploring

ROUYN-NORANDA, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Aug 14, 2013) - Chibougamau Independent Mines Inc. ("Chibougamau") (TSX VENTURE:CBG)(STUT:CLL) is pleased to provide shareholders with a short update as to ongoing field work undertaken on our wholly owned properties in the Chibougamau Mining Camp of Quebec.

A grid has been established over the heart of the Berrigan Zn, Au, Ag property as a control for exploration mapping activities and up-coming diamond drilling. Last winter's diamond drill results have been integrated with known historical results and a priority down-plunge target has been identified for further investigation.

Line cutting is currently also being carried out north of Lac Élaine (west of Berrigan) and on the Kokko Creek - Virginia Option properties, as a prelude to combined induced polarization (IP) and resistivity surveys.

Prospecting and limited quartz vein sampling has been completed on the Berrigan South claim block in order to assess several historical gold showings. Assay results are pending. Prospecting is slated to be undertaken on our northern Grandroy claims in an area of reported historical mineralization.

The Corporation expects to mobilize a drill rig this month to begin investigating and expanding several known polymetallic zones, including the No. 3 Zone on the Bateman Bay property and the Magnetite Bay iron-vanadium-titanium deposit and the close by Sulphur Converting sulphide horizon.

Extensive compilation work has been completed on a number of prospective areas in order to develop an understanding of local geology and structure. Priority drill targets have been outlined.
