In 2008, significant results were released for the Main Zone and the geophysics signature on the East Zone has the same footprint throughout with a very intense zone to the south. The Program calls for up to 5,000 meters of diamond drilling on this Zone.<br /><br />The results of 2008 have given the Company a very good geological model to follow and that is why the Company believes that this extension has substantial potential. The positive results of last years drill campaign came from the Kasala Main Zone situated in the same signature environment as the Kasala East Zone which is much larger. Highlights of the 2008 drill campaign are as follows:<br /><br /><br /></span></p>

<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1897, at the height of a major U.S. recession and banking crisis, a gold discovery on the Klondike River in Yukon Territory triggered one of the biggest gold rushes ever seen. Now, more than a century later, history is &ndash; sort of &ndash; repeating itself.</span></span></p>
<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">No, the world's downtrodden aren't beating a frenzied path to a harsh, remote swath of the Canadian north this time around. But the 2009 recession and banking crisis has set off a rush to invest in gold and other precious metals at unprecedented levels &ndash; a move that has tightened the global supply/demand picture and helped push prices to record highs. And increasingly, they are opting for the tangible comfort of physical gold &ndash; actual gold bars and coins that they can cling to in troubled times.</span></span></p>
<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></p>
<p style=""><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">&ldquo;When the banking crisis hit [last fall], we saw an avalanche of demand,&rdquo; said James DiGeorgia, a Florida-based coin and precious metals dealer and editor of the Gold &amp; Energy Advisor newsletter. &ldquo;People are scared to death that all this debt [being taken on by governments] is going to debase the [U.S.] dollar and other currencies around the world.&rdquo;.....</span></span></p>

("ELN" and "the Company") (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q)</strong> is pleased to announce the results from an interpretation of geophysical and geochemical data from its Kasala Project (P.R. 5214) in the DRC. <br /><br />The study merged data from the recently completed Induced Polarization ("IP") survey with soil geochemistry, magnetic data from the 2007 airborne program and drill hole information from the 2008 drill campaign to produce a detailed compilation of the Kasala Main Zone and surrounding areas.<br /><br />The interpretation identified a strong positive correlation between magnetic data and soil geochemistry: magnetic highs within the Kasala Main Zone correspond with high copper-in-soil values from the soil geochemistry program. <br /><br />Coincident magnetic highs and elevated copper-in-soil values identify a surface expression for the Kasala Main Zone of approximately 1100 metres in length by 100 to 350 metres in width. Drilling conducted in 2008 confirmed a mineralized strike length of at least 800 metres and the mineralization is open to the northwest, indicating that the magnetics and soil geochemistry provide a reliable indication of the presence of copper mineralization in the Kasala project area.<br /><br /><strong>Based on this, the study has identified a zone to the east and southeast of the Kasala Main Zone with similar magnetic and geochemical signatures which the Company considers to represent a significant target for its planned 2009 drill campaign. The surface expression of the zone as identified in the study has a length of approximately 2500 to 2600 metres and ranges between 150 and 750 metres in width - an area over three times as large as the Kasala Main Zone. The Company is referring to this new zone as Kasala East. Figure 1 shows the Kasala Main Zone and the newly identified Kasala East Zone.</strong><br /><br />Allan Lines, exploration manager for El Nino Ventures Inc., states that<strong> "Kasala East is now our highest priority target. The similarity of the magnetics and the soil geochemistry with that of the Kasala Main Zone is encouraging, particularly as we attribute the magnetic signature of Kasala Main to well mineralized iron stones of the Mwashya Group - the Kasala East zone looks like a bigger, broader version of the Kasala Main Zone. In fact, we are now sure that the Kasala Main Zone is a fragment that has been faulted off from the north end of the Kasala East Zone. We now plan to undertake more detailed soil geochemistry and ground magnetics programs which will allow us to better define our drill targets and plan a more effective drill campaign for the coming field season".</strong><br /> </span></span></p>

<p align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">Kasala Project - Drill Hole with Residual Magnetics</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">This area received limited drill testing during the 2008 campaign when two Reverse Circulation holes MDB-055 and MDB-056 and one diamond hole MDB-DD-016 were collared on the south flank of the zone. MDB-055 was found to contain low grade copper mineralization -- 26 metres at 0.29% Cu from 52 to 78 metres. These holes were collared on the south flank of the magnetic signature and the drilling was going out of this zone. The plan for the 2009 drill program will be to test this zone by collaring the holes to the north end of the zone and drilling into the structure.<br /><br />Jean Luc Roy President &amp; CEO of ELN states: <strong>"The identification of the Kasala East Zone is a significant step forward for our exploration programs in the Kasala project area. This new zone has the potential to add considerable tonnage to our project, but also, and perhaps more importantly, this gives us a reliable geological model to identify additional targets in the area. Our objective for 2009 is to do enough drilling to be able to have a resource calculation by the end of the 2009 drilling campaign. We are now looking at different alternatives available to the Company to secure the funds necessary to do a minimum of 5,000 metres of drilling on the Kasala project and also do exploration drilling on our new acquisition made with Phoenix Mining SPRL".</strong><br /><br />The content of this press release has been reviewed by Mr. Benoit M. Violette, P. Geo., consulting geologist and the Qualified Person under NI-43-101.</span></p>

<span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;"><br /><strong>January 12, 2009 Vancouver, BC -- El Ni&ntilde;o Ventures Inc. ("ELN" and the "Company") (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q)</strong> is pleased to announce the drilling results from its Kasala Project (P.R. 5214) in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). <strong>These results confirm the presence of significant mineralization within the Kasala Main Zone with the potential for expansion based on our recently completed Induced Polarization ("IP") Survey. The Company has a 70 percent interest in this project with an option to earn up to 90 percent on terms to be negotiated and the Company holds title to this property through one of its Congolese subsidiaries.</strong><br /><br />The Company completed 56 Reverse Circulation ("RC") drill holes (totaling 5883 metres) and 20 Diamond Drill ("DD") drill holes (totaling 3583.6 metres) across the P.R. 5214 permit. Of these holes, 35 RC holes (totaling 3336 metres) and 15 DD holes (totaling 2458.6 metres) were completed within the Kasala Main Zone area (Figure 1). <br /><br />Allan Lines, exploration manager for El Nino Ventures Inc., reports that "<strong>with the latest assay results we have confirmed that copper mineralization in the Kasala area has a minimum strike length of approximately 800 metres and a width of approximately 250 metres. Intersections in some of the drill holes completed in 2008 indicate thicknesses of as much as 91 metres. The Kasala Main Zone is still open in all directions and at depth.</strong><br /><br />The copper mineralization at Kasala is hosted in a series of pervasively fractured (due to the intersection of two, and possibly three, faults) dolomitic shales and breccias of the Mwashya Group. The Mwashya is the upper-most unit of the Roan Supergroup which hosts the majority of large copper and cobalt deposits in the Congolese Copper Belt. </span>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">Figure 1. -- Kasala Main Zone Area</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small; font-family: Arial;">Three distinct types of copper mineralization have been noted at Kasala: firstly, oxide copper mineralization (malachite) as fracture coatings and small agglomerations in the fractured shales and breccias; secondly, mixed oxide (malachite) and sulphide (chalcocite) copper mineralization in iron-rich mudstones in which the oxide mineralization is found as veinlets and fracture coatings and the sulphide mineralization occurs as disseminated grains; and, thirdly, sulphide (chalcopyrite) mineralization as stockwork veinlets and disseminated grains in a graphitic shale which was discovered in a faulted contact with overlying breccias in MDB-DD-019.<br /><br />The oxide copper mineralization in the fractured shales and breccias is typically lower-grade but often presents as a very thick sequence, resulting in drill intercepts of as much as 90 plus metres. The mixed oxide/sulphide copper mineralization is typically high grade material (3% to 6% Cu) found to be between 5 and 10 metres in thickness. The sulphide copper mineralization as found in the graphitic shales can be high grade (between 3% and 7% Cu), with a thickness in some instances greater than 20 metres. <br /><br /><strong>Another important indication of the potential of the Kasala area comes from RC Hole MDB-016, which returned an intercept of low grade copper mineralization over a width of 12 metres (between 57 and 69 metres), with a one metre intersection (59 to 60 metres) within this zone delivering grades of 1.22% lead and 1.51% zinc, providing the first positive indication of polymetallic mineralization in the Kasala area. The area of MDB-016, which is located approximately 100 metres south of the Kasala Main Zone, will be the target of additional investigations to gauge the extent of lead and zinc mineralization in this area.</strong><br /><br />An IP survey has now been completed across the Kasala area and an additional area to the northwest of the Kasala Main Zone which is being referred to as Kasala Nord. The IP program over the Kasala Main Zone has delineated an extension of the zone to the southeast of the area of the 2008 drilling campaign, this has identified a number of additional drill targets which will be tested during the 2009 drill program. <strong>The IP program over the Kasala Nord area has also generated several targets for additional testing -- a detailed soil sampling program is planned for this area, the results of which, in conjunction with the IP data will be used to plan a scope drilling program over the Kasala Nord area. <br /><br />The 2009 field campaign is planned to include additional detailed soil sampling on the Kasala Main Zone and Kasala Nord, an extension of the IP grid on the Kasala Main Zone towards to the south east, and 7,500 metres of DD to test newly determined targets on the Kasala Main Zone.</strong>"<br /><br />Jean Luc Roy President &amp; CEO of ELN states: "<strong>These results confirm that our 2008 drilling campaign has proven to be very successful. The Kasala project will be the primary focus for the Company's 2009 advanced exploration program. This project, combined with our other highly prospective research permits in the DRC, position El Nino to grow and succeed in its goal of confirming a mineable deposit in the DRC.<br /><br />The Kasala project has returned for the Company very consistent and significant results which the Company will build upon in 2009. An extension of the Main Zone has been identified by the IP program that was completed in December 2008. The Company has a 70 percent interest in the Project and has an option to earn up to 90 percent on terms to be negotiated. This project is not subject to the Mining Review being carried out by the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and title on this property is held by a Congolese Subsidiary controlled by the Company, with a 70 percent interest in the share capital.</strong>"<br /><br />The content of this press release has been reviewed by Mr. Benoit M. Violette, P. Geo., consulting geologist and the Qualified Person under NI-43-101.<br /><br />All samples from the drilling program were collected following strict quality controls and were then dispatched to ALS Chemex Laboratories in Johannesburg, South Africa for assay. <br /><br /><strong>About El Ni&ntilde;o Ventures<br /></strong><br />El Ni&ntilde;o Ventures is a junior exploration company, focused on exploring for Copper/Cobalt in the DRC. El Ni&ntilde;o has an option to acquire a 70% interest in over 350 square kilometers in the world renowned copper belt in the Democratic Republic of Congo ("DRC"). In addition to our copper and cobalt projects in the DRC, the Company has zinc properties in Ireland and holds a 50 percent interest on an extensive land package in the Bathurst Mining Camp of Xstrata Zinc Canada. <br /></span></p>

        <![CDATA[<p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><strong>VANCOUVER, May 13 , 2008 - El Nino Ventures Inc. (&quot;El Nino&quot;) (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q)</strong> is very pleased to provide an update on the ongoing exploration program that commenced on April 14, 2008.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Since commencing reverse circulation (RC) drilling operations on PR5217 on April 14th, 2008, El Nino Ventures have completed 11 RC holes totaling 925 m over an area of prospective rock formation of the Mines Group. This area was previously tested during El Nino Ventures' 2007 RC drilling campaign - one of the four holes drilled in this area during the 2007 program (ANCU-001) intercepted 10 m of 3.51% copper. The 2008 campaign is continuing with holes that had been planned before heavy rains forced an early end to the 2007 program. An additional 7 RC holes are planned for this area.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The RC drill will next move to the western central area of PR5217 where regional soil sampling completed during the rainy season has identified a 2.5 km long copper anomaly along an east-west trending fault identified by regional mapping. A minimum of 8 RC drill holes are planned to test this soil anomaly and structural corridor (see Figure 2) to depths of approximately 100 m. Several diamond drill holes are also planned to assess this structure at depth. The diamond drilling program is planned to start this week, when a diamond drill rig from Boart-Longyear mobilized to PR5217.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Other near-term activities part of the program, include a 133 line km ground magnetometer geophysical survey in the south-eastern corner of PR5215 to aid in tracing numerous cross-cutting structures identified from interpretation of the 2007 Heli-Mag geophysical survey that El Nino Ventures had flown over four of the company's permits. Upon completion of the ground magnetic survey and interpretation of the results of this program, it is planned to drill test several targets in this complex structural area which hosts prospective Roan Supergroup strata.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">An auger drill program will be undertaken on PR5214 to obtain soil samples under marshy grounds (See Figure 3) which cover areas mapped as Roan strata. The auger drill will be used to collect soil samples from 12 to 15 meters depth, below the alluvial soils which might otherwise mask the geochemical signature of any metal deposits under these marshes.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Regional soil sampling on PR2461 will start on Saturday, May 3rd, and is expected to take approximately 7 to 10 days to complete.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">El Nino's DRC Exploration Manager, Allan Lines, states that &quot;it is a busy and exciting time for us. We are once again drilling with Titan who is doing a fantastic job for us on the RC. Our diamond drill from Boart-Longyear will be on site early next week and we will start testing known mineralized structures at depth. Our multi-disciplinary approach is continuing to generate new targets for us - the soil geochem and our airborne geophysics have identified a number of new areas that we plan to test with the RC drill this year.&quot;</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The company also has received about 75 percent of the outstanding drill results from their 2007 drill campaign. Results from 44 shallow reverse circulation holes show some mineralization up to 13,750 ppm Cu and 3960 ppm Co over narrow intervals. These holes totaled 2,320 meters of drilling.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">These results are west of the 2.5 kilometer anomaly identified by the soil geochemical survey and the airborne geophysical survey.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Jean Luc Roy President &amp; CEO states: The 2008 drill program is well underway and the company is looking to expand on the results it published to date and also to test drill several significant areas which have yet to be tested. The interpretation work done by our technical team gives us a much more focused approach for the 2008 program. Work done in 2007 has identified a high grade copper zone and we will look to expand that zone in the next few months. We are also very encouraged by the results from our geochemical soil sampling campaign carried out during the rainy season. The company has purchased a prep laboratory facility and we hope that this will cut down the turnaround time in getting results.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"></p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Mr. Benoit Violette, P.

        <![CDATA[<em>25 meter expansion of Copper zone in hole ANCU-001. - Significant Cobalt values intersected in drilling within artisanal workings - Follow up drilling planned to start April 2008. </em>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal"><strong>VANCOUVER, March 14, 2008 - El Nino Ventures Inc.</strong> (&quot;El Nino&quot;) (TSX.V: ELN; OTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q) is very pleased to announce further analytical drill results from the recently completed 6200m reverse circulation drill program on its 70% owned Research Permit 5217 in the DRC Congo. Analyses were carried out by ALS CHEMEX, Johannesburg, S.A. Quality control procedures were strictly adhered to and included taking drill chip samples directly from the drill return by the project geologist, placing them in sealed bags and sending them directly to ALS Chemex in Johannesburg by air freight, who carried out the preparation and analysis.</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">The Company has received additional assay results from drill hole ANCU-001 which previously reported 3.5% Cu over a ten meter interval from 12m to 22m. <span>&nbsp;</span>Assays for meter 22 to 25 are still pending but results from 25m to 50m are as follows:</p>  <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>25 to 30m <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.24% Cu</span></p>  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>30 to 35m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.36% Cu</span></p>  <p class="MsoNormal"><span>35 to 40m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.50% Cu </span></p>  <p class="MsoNormal">40 to 45m <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.43% Cu</p>  <p class="MsoNormal">45 to 50m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.35% Cu</p>  <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">These latest results expand the apparent thickness of the mineralized zone to in excess of 35 meters.<span>&nbsp; </span>We anticipate that the current mineralization, which lies at the margin of 2.8km long geophysical anomaly, will extend along strike as this anomaly is fully drill tested.</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">The Company has also received drill results from holes AN2-001, AN2-002, AN2-003, AN2-006, AN2-008 and AN2-009. These holes were drilled in an area of artisanal workings where workers were formerly mining high grade cobalt mineralization. This zone is outside the copper zone and is south of the geophysical anomaly. Drilling completed to date in this area has not been ideal because it was done in the rainy season and wet conditions prevented us from being able to properly assess the cobalt potential of this area because of difficulties in accessing and collaring holes within the workings. Also significant sample loss was experienced due to the extremely wet drilling conditions. ELN plans to fully test the Cobalt potential of this zone once field conditions permit.</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">Significant values intersected in the above holes are:</p>  <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <pre><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AN2-001<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0 to 1m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>0.72% Co and 0.50% Cu</span></pre><pre style="margin-left: 2in; text-indent: -2in"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>35 to 51m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Values ranging from 180 ppm to 0.53% Co and </span></pre><pre style="margin-left: 2in; text-indent: -2in"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>130ppm to 0.4% Cu</span></pre><pre><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AN2-002 <span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>37 to 54m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Values up to 0.14% Co and 0.21% Cu</span></pre><pre><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AN2-008<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp; </span>15 to 36m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Values from 630ppm to 0.29% Cu</span></pre><pre><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'">AN2-009<span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp; </span>10 to 23m<span>&nbsp;&nbsp; </span><span>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </span>Values from 0.12%ppm to 0.24 Cu</span></pre>  <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">Jean Luc Roy, President of El Nino stated, &quot;I am very pleased with the additional results from hole ANCU-001 as they provide us with an indication of the substantial thicknesses of copper mineralization that may be found in this area. Based upon the interpretation of our recently completed airborne geophysical survey, we believe we may be on the edge of a mineralized system which extends for over 2.8 kms in strike length. We will drill test the extent of this anomaly starting in April. We have also identified four other geophysical anomalies on our other permits which will be tested in the forthcoming drill program.</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>  <p style="text-align: justify" class="MsoNormal">Although the results from the initial drilling in the artisanal area are lower than expected, we will re-drill test this area in the dry season when we will be able to drill right through this artisanal zone. We were unable to do this in the initial drilling as we had to locate the drill collars further back than we had intended because of ground conditions.

        <![CDATA[  <p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="">VANCOUVER, Feb. 21 - El Nino Ventures Inc. (&quot;El Nino&quot;) (TSX.V: ELN; OTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q)</span></strong><span style=""> Re: Mining Contracts Review in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Corporate Update.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">This release is in response to the issues that were addressed at the Indaba Mining Conference in Capetown, South Africa on February 5th 2008, pertaining to the review by the Government of some sixty mining contracts in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">El Nino Ventures land position is not affected by this review of mining contracts and the company will continue to conduct business in the DRC under the rules and regulations of the New Mining Code that came into effect in 2003.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">Since El Nino acquired its five Research Permits, covering more than 350 square kilometers in the DRC, it has made it abundantly clear that it will fast track its exploration efforts in order to identify economic mineralization on its properties. El Nino President, Jean Luc Roy, stated &quot;Our first set of assay results, recently reported from our initial drill program, have demonstrated that we are in a highly mineralized area. Additional assay results from our drill program will be reported when received. Our 2008 drill program, scheduled to commence in April 2008, is now being finalized&quot;.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">El Nino's most recent acquisition in the DRC was announced on February 4th 2008. This property is within six kilometers of Anvil Mining's Kinsevere copper project, and encompasses over fifty-four square kilometers highly, prospective for copper mineralization. With the assistance of Caracle Creek International Consulting, (CCIC), (a professional geological consulting company providing a wide range of geological and engineering services to the mineral exploration and mining industry) we will implement a comprehensive exploration program on this new acquisition in 2008.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">In addition, our plans for 2008 will include an analysis of the geochemical data from the recently completed soil sample survey and 2600 line kilometre Heli-Mag geophysical survey completed on Research Permit(s) 5214, 5215, 5216 and 5217. CCIC will also be instrumental in assisting our team of experienced geologists in the DRC, in delineating drill targets for the upcoming minimum 25,000 meter drill campaign planned on our initial Research Permits. This drill program will commence in April 2008.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">With $7.9 million in the treasury, El Nino is fully funded to carry out its 2008 exploration program in the DRC and will continue to release results from the previous drill program as they become available.</span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p>  <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="">Jean Luc Roy, President &amp; CEO of ELN also stated: El Nino Ventures land position in the DRC is not under review as we are not under a contract agreement but under the rules and regulations of the Mining Code of the DRC. The review process that is taking place is only reviewing mining contracts that were signed with the State-Owned mining company. Our research permits were granted under the new mining code and we have no contractual agreements with State Owned companies.
