Nevada Copper Expands North Deposit Intersecting 785 Feet of 0.73% Copper and 320 Feet of 1.08% Copper

Nevada Copper (TSX:NCU) is please to announce further positive drilling results on its 100% owned Pumpkin Hollow Property in Nevada. The results are from the current 20,000 meter step-out and expansion drilling program.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Drill Hole NC11-03 was drilled to expand the deeper mineralization in the North Deposit and was successful in extending and confirming the continuity of mineralization intersecting an upper zone 320 feet (97.5 meters), averaging 1.08% copper, 0.164 grams gold, 4.2 grams silver and 0.017% molybdenum and a lower zone 785 feet (239 meters), averaging 0.73% copper, 0.048 grams gold and 1.2 grams silver.

Nevada Copper’s Vice President and Senior Project Manager, Gregory French commented:

“Drilling in the North Deposit continues to confirm and expand mineralization. Two mineralized zones were intersected, with the upper and the lower zone expanding mineralization. Together the two zones total over 1,100 feet of mineralization grading 0.73% to 1.08% copper. NC11-03 also demonstrated that areas within the deposit have higher molybdenum grades than the deposit average. In view of these very positive results additional drilling is currently being planned.”
