Nevsun Resources Continues to Extend Mineralization at Harena

Nevsun Resources (TSX:NSU,NYSE MKT:NSU) released additional assay results from drilling at its Harena mining license, 10 kilometers south of its Bisha Mine and processing plant. 2015 drilling at Harena is designed to expand the deposit beyond the known resource.

As quoted in the press release:

Intersections of high grade massive sulphide in Lower Zone include:

• HX-050: 1.66% Cu, 6.62% Zn, 0.41 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag over 67.2 m including 4.61% Cu, 3.43% Zn, 0.99 g/t Au, 63 g/t Ag over 22.1 m and 0.22% Cu, 8.18% Zn, 0.13 g/t Au, 10 g/t Ag over 45.1 m
• HX-051: 1.09% Cu, 3.57% Zn, 0.43 g/t Au, 22 g/t Ag over 73.5 m including 4.25% Cu, 1.17% Zn, 1.01 g/t Au, 62 g/t Ag over 11.0 m

Intersections of massive sulphide in Upper Zone include:

• HX-043: 0.63% Cu, 5.70% Zn, 0.35 g/t Au, 28 g/t Ag over 18.5 m

New Gold Zone intersection confirming continuity:

• HX-045: 7.49 g/t Au, 171 g/t Ag over 11.0 m

Lower Zone massive sulphide extended 120 m down dip with increasing width and grade
Upper Zone extended over 150 m along strike
Deposit remains open to depth and along strike

Nevsun CEO, Cliff Davis, said:

We continue to have exciting results at Harena. The assays reported today demonstrate that the deposit is increasing in thickness and grade with depth as a core of high grade mineralization is being outlined. We also continue to see the deposit growing along strike to the south. These new results bode well for significant further expansion of the resource at Harena
