MONTRÉAL and VANCOUVER, Sept. 20, 2011 /CNW Telbec/ - EACOM Timber Corporation ("EACOM", or the "Company") announced today the completion of the sale of the Big River Sawmill in Saskatchewan (the "Mill") to Carrier Forest Products Ltd.

On January 5, 2010 EACOM acquired the Mill. The Mill was idled when purchased. Eacom has been diligently working to obtain the timber rights necessary to re-open the Mill for operation since then but has been unable to obtain any timber rights from the Government of Saskatchewan.  EACOM made the difficult decision to sell the idled Mill and today has completed the sale of the Mill on an "as is, where is" basis to Carrier for a purchase price of $7.5 million.
