Seymour Exploration Corp. Provides Update on Exploration Activities at Lynn Lake

Sudbury, Ontario – February 13, 2006 – Seymour Exploration Corp. (SEZ: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that the first exploration drilling program to be undertaken at the former Lynn Lake mine site in over 30 years will begin this week. The Company has also recently completed an initial surface geophysical survey, which produced a new, shallow target.

The Company acquired the Lynn Lake property in early 2005 and believes that considerable potential for exploration success exists at this property, due to:

  • known resources of 6.3 million tons grading 0.85% Nickel and 0.39% Copper on the property (see the Company’s 43-101 compliant resource estimate as detailed in its press release of September 19, 2005);
  • prior exploration holes, drilled over 30 years ago, successfully intersected nickel mineralization. However, no follow up drilling was undertaken to determine the extent of the mineralization;
  • modern geophysical techniques have never been employed on the property; and
  • very limited exploratory drilling has been undertaken below 3,000 feet on the property and, by comparison, nickel sulphide ore bodies in Canada are being mined at over twice this depth.

On site exploration activities began in early January. The original mine grid was reestablished by a land surveyor in advance of undertaking a modern geophysical survey. A large area in the southern portion of the property was tested with an electromagnetic survey. The survey identified a conductive feature in an area where there is no historic drilling.

This new conductor is located approximately 450 feet south of the “B” orebody, which was mined from surface to the 3,000 foot level. The conductor appears to be the up-dip extension of target “Echo.” The Company is focusing on target Echo because it is large, extending from below 3,000 feet to surface with no drilling whatsoever between the 780 foot level and surface. With the successful completion of the geophysical survey, target Echo is now fully modeled and ready for drilling.

Diamond drilling will commence later this week and will continue for the next two to three months. The Company will release results of the ongoing exploration program as they become available.
For further information on target Echo, refer to the Company’s press release dated September 27, 2005 and the Company’s website: www.seymourexploration.com.
