ETR Eacom Timber Corporation

EACOM Timber Corporation (TSX VENTURE:ETR) ("EACOM", or the "Company") today
confirmed that a fire was discovered in its Timmins, Ontario sawmill in the
evening on Sunday January 22. The Timmins Fire Department responded quickly to
the scene and the fire was brought under control. There were no injuries from
the fire. The extent of the downtime at the facility will be determined once a
full damage assessment is completed. The planer mill and kiln facilities as well
as round wood and lumber inventories were undamaged. The planer mill, kiln and
shipping operations will resume early next week to process existing rough lumber
inventories. Harvesting operations are unaffected and during the assessment will
be redirected as appropriate. The Timmins operations employ approximately 500
people in the mill and associated woodlands operations. Approximately 120 mill
employees will be affected by the downtime. EACOM continues to be committed to
its operations in Timmins and is undertaking an assessment of the current
situation and its options around rebuilding. The sawmill produces approximately
12 million board feet of lumber per month. The immediate impact on the Company
will be determined, once the situation is fully assessed.


Our thanks go out to the ongoing support of our employees, contractors, and City
and Government officials.
