TORONTO, Sept. 2 /CNW/ - Sahelian Goldfields Inc. (Sahelian) is pleased to report that it is in the advanced stages of executing an option to earn up to a 70% interest in two exploration properties in the south end of the Carlin Trend in Elko County, Nevada. Over the past 6 months, the Company has reviewed over 30 different projects primarily in North and South America. More recently, the Company has focused on Nevada. The Company's intent is to acquire interests in several exploration projects primarily in the Carlin and Midas Districts which host several world-class gold deposits.

The Company expects to execute a definite agreement in the near future on the first two properties and is actively negotiating to acquire interests in other properties in the area. Sahelian plans to build a mining company through the exploration and development of its existing properties and acquisition of additional gold and silver properties in the Americas. The Company has eight exploration properties in Ontario and Quebec, including the Kerrs property on which it is currently carrying out a geochemical survey with the objective of identifying drill targets.
