LOV Louvem Mines Inc.

Louvem Mines Inc. (TSX VENTURE:LOV), ("Louvem"), announces that its Board of
Directors has established an independent committee comprised of Mr. Gaston
Gagnon and Mr. Pierre Barbeau, both independent directors of Louvem, to review
and assess the terms of the proposal made by Richmont Mines Inc. ("Richmont") to
acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Louvem not currently owned
by Richmont (the "Transaction"). Under the terms of the Transaction, Louvem
shareholders would receive one Richmont share for each 5.4 shares of Louvem
held. Richmont holds approximately 70% of the outstanding shares of Louvem and
has entered into agreements whereby certain Louvem shareholders, holding
approximately 54% of the Louvem shares not already owned by Richmont, have
agreed to support the Transaction.


The independent committee has retained the services of Colby, Monet, Delage &
Crevier LLP to act as legal advisor, and KPMG LLP to act as financial advisor to
the independent committee in connection with the Transaction. KPMG LLP, which is
independent from all interested parties, will also provide the independent
committee with an opinion as to the fairness of the Transaction for Louvem
shareholders (other than Richmont) (the "Minority Shareholders"), from a
financial point of view.


In the event that KPMG LLP concludes that the Transaction is fair and that the
Board of Louvem approves the Transaction, Louvem will combine its Annual General
Meeting with its Special Meeting, during which the shareholders will vote on the
Transaction. In order to be approved, the Transaction requires the affirmative
vote of the majority of the Minority Shareholders. As a result of the delays
involved, the Board of Directors has decided to postpone the previously
announced May 20, 2010 annual meeting, and will issue another advisory in due
course regarding a new meeting date.
