Ditem Explorations (TSX VENTURE:DIT) is pleased to announce that it has
completed the second phase of the 2010 drill program on its Otish Uranium
property. The drill program consisted of two holes, WB-17 and WB-18 in the
northeast sector of the property.


Drilling targeted a northeast-southwest striking conductor identified in the
Spring of 2010 on which WB-15 had been drilled at approximately 100 m northeast
of a crosscutting fault. WB-15 intersected intense hydrothermal alterations and
the gabbro dyke at a vertical depth of about 50 m. WB-17 and WB-18 were
respectively drilled at 100 meters to the southwest and 150 meters to the
northeast of WB-15 along the dyke. As expected, WB-17 appears to confirm the
beginning of the dyke. 


WB-18 intersected a 7.5 meter wide (6.2 m horizontal true width) intensively
altered hydrothermal zone at about 70 m vertical depth. Low but anomalous
uranium values were obtained with a RS-125 Spectrometer, on the intensively
altered zone particularly at the gabro/sandstone contact. The altered gabbro
dyke and alteration halo have strong hematisation and limonitisation which are
characteristic of uranium mineralisation in the Otish Basin. Based on previous
geophysical work last Spring, the dyke is at least 1.1 km long and should extend
further northeast. 55 core samples have been sent for analysis. 


"We now know that along this dyke, at 70 m depth, there is a highly altered zone
both in the sandstone and the dyke, with a low uranium count and possibly
extending between two holes over a distance of some 150 m" stated Raymond
Savoie, Chairman and CEO. "Encouraged by the obvious quality of this 6.2 m
hydrothermal alteration at 70 m depth, as well as the results from the previous
WB-15 and other geological work, we now plan to undertake a drill program in
order to test for good uranium mineralisation which we expect may be present
along this dyke at depth."


Ditem Explorations is an exploration and development company with properties in
the Athabasca Basin in Saskatchewan (Beartooth Island and Cree Lake) and the
Otish Basin (Otish Uranium) in Quebec. The Company has also recently acquired a
rare earth property with significant values on which it plans to begin
exploration work shortly. Other rare earth properties are being investigated.
