Mineralization Continues to Expand in the Nevada Copper North Deposit

Nevada Copper Corp. (TSX:NCU) reported that the latest holes drilled in the open-pittable Western deposits have intersected new mineralization within or just outside the outside the current NI 43-101 Feasibility Study ultimate pit limits.

As quoted in the press release:

Drilling along the southwest edge of the North deposit, NC11-51 intersected mineralization at the boundary of the current designed pit, several zones were intersected, the largest zone, 470 feet (143.2 meters), 407 feet (124.0 meters) true thickness, grading 0.73% copper. Additional step out drilling continues in this area where the mineralized zones remain open in several directions.
NC11-47 was drilled in the northeast sector of the North deposit were multiple zones of mineralization were intersected. The mineralized zones are both outside, and within, the present ultimate pit limit. Mineralization along the northeast border remains open and follow up drilling is in progress.

NC11-41, 42, and 46 targeted the mineralization along the southeastern portion of the North Deposit. Mineralization continues to be intersected. Drilling continues to extend and confirm the continuity of mineralization along the southern border of the North deposit.

Drilling continues to intersect mineralization between the North and South deposits. NC11-40 and NC11-45 intersected mineralization. NC11-40 intersected, 191 feet (58.2 meters), 146.3 feet (44.6 meters) true thickness, grading 0.25% copper. The mineralization remains open and additional drilling is planned.
