Nebu Commences Drilling at the Bonanza Property, Near Historic Naybob Mine-Provides Exploration Update
May 13 2010 - 9:58AM
Marketwired
Nebu Resources Inc. (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NBU) provides the
accompanying update of its ongoing diamond drill programs adjacent
to the Lakeshore Gold Corp.'s land position approximately 35 km
west of the main part of the prolific Timmins, Ontario gold camp
and also a drilling program in the vicinity of the nearby historic
Naybob Mine, a historic gold mine in the Timmins Gold Camp, that is
being actively explored by Metals Creek Resources Corp. ("Metals
Creek') and Goldcorp Inc. ("Goldcorp").
North Denton Property
Drilling completed since the last report by the Company
consisted of some 12 holes drilled primarily in the vicinity of the
previously reported very high-grade vein zone mineralization but
still at quite shallow depths. While significant high grade gold
values were not intersected in many of the holes, quartz veining
and lower values were intersected in several holes and included an
interval in hole DG-10-29 that assayed 10.82 g/t gold over a core
length of 1.7m.
The Company plans to complete a full review of drilling
completed throughout the property and expects to carry out further
drilling at greater depths in the future.
Denton South Property
The Company has now completed the Phase 1 diamond drill program
and is awaiting results for approximately half of the eight holes
completed. The majority of the drill holes were completed in an
area along the common boundary between properties held by the
Company and Lakeshore Gold Corporation. Most of the holes
intersected a variety of lithologies that show considerable
deformation and alteration. The drilling defined the location a
very extensive zone of deformation interpreted by the Ontario
Ministry of Northern Development and Mines to represent the
westerly extension of the Porcupine Destor Fault Zone, a regionally
extensive zone of very strong deformation hosted primarily in
ultramafic rocks.
A significant amount of quartz ankerite veining, in cases with
significant sulphide mineralization was intersected at some
locations and of the assays received to date one interval in drill
hole DE-10-1 assayed 1.77g/t gold over a 1.9 m core length,
representing a new gold discovery in the area. The other holes
returned only anomalous gold values. Further drilling will be
considered once all data is reviewed. Of note, a recent press by
Richmont Mines Inc. reported a drill hole approximately 4 km to the
northeast of the Company's property (in the direction of the
Lakeshore Thunder Creek gold deposit that assayed 73.54 g/t gold
over a width of 7.0 m at a depth of approximately 250 m. Drilling
by the Company on its property was generally to depths of less than
100m.
Bonanza Property (Ogden Township)
The Company is commencing diamond drilling on a number of gold
exploration targets located immediately to the southwest of the
historic Naybob Mine that is currently being diamond drill tested
by Metals Creek and Goldcorp. The Bonanza Property consists of 21
claim units and has seen only limited exploration work over the
years despite its excellent location.
Work completed by the Company has identified several priority
targets that require diamond drill testing. A number of drill holes
are planned to provide initial evaluation of these various targets
and determine their potential to host significant gold
mineralization. Significant alteration and quartz veining,
typically associated with gold mineralization in the area are known
to occur on the property and on various mine properties in the
area.
Goldcorp and Metals Creek recently announced further drilling to
evaluate areas of gold mineralization on the Naybob Property, some
of which is thought to be located near the common property boundary
in what they refer to as the South Zone and also a new discovery to
the south of the South Zone (Metals Creek press release May 4,
2010).
Morin Property
The Company completed its acquisition of the 11 claim units that
comprise the Morin property. The Morin Property adjoins the north
boundary of the Naybob Property mentioned above.
Subsequent to completing the acquisition it was learned that
some of the historic exploration data from work done on these
claims by a major mining company was in the possession of certain
companies at arms-length from the Company. The Company has made an
agreement to acquire this data, including some historic drill core,
by agreeing to issue, a total of 200,000 common shares and 100,000
common share purchase warrants where each warrant entitles the
holder to acquire an additional common share at $0.30 for an 18
month period. In addition, Nebu has agreed to pay one of these
arms-length companies a fee of $18,000 for storage of the historic
drill core and data.
It is anticipated that the acquisition of this data will allow
Nebu to advance the exploration on these claim faster and more
efficiently than would otherwise be possible.
It is expected that exploration will begin on the property
during the summer of 2010.
Quality Control and Assurance
Assay results reported by the Company are from halved drill core
samples collected from diamond drill holes completed by contractors
to the Company. Core samples were collected by consultants in the
employ of the Company and are subject to the Company's quality
control program. Sampling was conducted in Timmins, Ontario and
sealed samples were transported to Swastika Labs preparation
facilities in Swastika, Ontario. Samples are routinely assayed for
gold by standard fire assay- ICP finish with a 30 gram charge as
fully described at: (www.swastikalaboratories.com). The remaining
half of the drill core is stored in Timmins.
For quality control purposes blank, duplicate and reference
standards were inserted into the sample stream at irregular
intervals. Mr. Bruce Durham P.Geo, a Qualified Person, is the
Company's Qualified Person (QP) and is the non-independent
Qualified Person responsible for the information contained in this
press release. The Qualified Person is experienced in all aspects
of the work completed, has visited the project site, examined the
drill core samples reported and has verified that the reported
results meet the Company's quality control standards.
