Nevada Copper Corp. (TSE:NCU) reports it has completed a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate for its Pumpkin Hollow property, Nevada.
The press release is quoted as saying:
The database for the updated mineral resource now consists of over 600 drill holes containing in excess of 270,000 meters (885,000 feet) of drilling and over 65,000 assays. The 2010 program consisted of 96 resource, hydrological, and geotechnical holes that totaled over 54,000 meters (177,000 feet).
Nevada Copper’s VP and Senior Project Manager, Gregory French says:
“The 2010 drilling program proved to be successful in upgrading and defining the M&I mineralization. The new resource also better defines the mineralization which will aid in the underground and open pit mine designs. Our 2011 drilling program totaling 20,000 meters will now focus on resource step-out and expansion drilling. This program is designed to follow up on the newly discovered deep mineralization in the North Deposit, several open areas of mineralization adjacent to the existing resources, and test other targets identified within our large land position.”
