VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- 06/22/07 -- KENRICH-ESKAY MINING CORPORATION (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: KRE)(FRANKFURT - BERLIN- 878 985) is pleased to announce that its 2007 drilling program has commenced at its Coastal Copper project in the Stewart region of northwestern British Columbia.

Drilling commences at Coastal Copper Project

Field crews have been mobilized and diamond drilling has commenced at the Company's Coastal Copper Project at Anyox, B.C. Following the highly successful 2006 program, an additional 2500 metres of drilling is planned for 2007. This drilling will attempt to expand the mineral resource at the Double Ed Cu-Zn deposit and will test some additional geophysical targets delineated by the 2006 AeroTEM survey. Surface geological mapping and prospecting will follow up on the promising geophysical and geochemical results from the 2006 program with the goal of identifying additional drill targets.

Double Ed Technical Report Received

The Company recently announced a mineral resource for the Double Ed deposit of 1.85 million tonnes grading 1.6% copper and 1.0% zinc (see news release of April 18). This massive sulphide mineralization is still open to the north and south as well as down dip. These areas will provide the primary targets for this year's drilling. The Company has recently received a technical report from its geological consultants that documents the 2006 exploration results and the mineral resource estimation for the Double Ed deposit. This report will be available on SEDAR pending regulatory approval.

This major project has been delayed by up to one month due to unusually high snow packs in the Stewart region which hindered earlier access to the properties.
