New Target Could Boost International Enexco’s Copper Oxide Output

International Enexco Ltd. (TSXV:IEC,OTCQX:IEXCF) announced that the results of a surface sampling program at its wholly-owned, Nevada-based Contact copper project indicate that the Copper Ridge prospect could provide the project with additional copper oxide material.

As quoted in the press release:

High-grade copper assays were returned from a suite of 28 rock chip samples taken at the Copper Ridge prospect, located one mile (1.6 km) southwest of the main Contact Copper Project resource. The recent sampling has returned grades of up to 12.4% copper from outcrops of oxide mineralization within quartz monzonite. Samples were collected in an area of recently acquired claims and confirm work completed by the previous owner prior to the Copper Ridge area being consolidated by Enexco under a 2011 property acquisition. The sampling was done within an area that extends approximately 8,000 feet by 2,000 feet (2,500 m by 600 m). Previous activity in the area is limited to shallow prospect pits, and has no previous drilling.
