50% Interest in Bathurst Claims

       VANCOUVER, BC, June 4, 2008 - El Niño Ventures Inc. ("El Niño" and "the Company") (TSX.V: ELN; Frankfurt: E7Q) is pleased to announce that it has vested with 50% interest in 1,902 mineral claims located within the Bathurst Mining Camp. The remaining 50% interest is held by Xstrata Canada Corporation - Xstrata Zinc Canada Division "Xstrata". The claims include historical base metal resources (not compliant with the CIM NI 43-101).
       The 1,902 mineral claims in which El Nino owns a 50% interest host a total of seven significant Pb/Zn occurrences distributed over the eastern and western part of the Bathurst Mining Camp. These occurrences were discovered either by conventional prospecting in the early days or more recently by geology and various types of geophysical surveys. These occurrences have been subject, in the past, to important exploration work by Xstrata Zinc Canada looking to identify world class Pb/Zn deposits.
       Jean Luc Roy, President of El Nino states: "As stated above we have selected 1,902 claims on which to earn a 50 percent interest. All these claims are in areas where some historical base metal occurrences have been identified or are in close proximity to existing or past operations in the Bathurst Mining Camp. We are now in discussions with Xstrata on how to move these properties forward in the future".
