Pumpkin Hollow Reports Copper Intersections at its North Deposit

Nevada Copper Corp.(TSX:NCU) announced positive new drill results from its Pumpkin Hollow project, Nevada. Six holes have recently been completed at the north deposit of the project and reported intersections of 9.08% copper. Three rigs are currently in operation at the project and the drill program is ongoing.

As quoted in the press release:

Drill hole NC12-03 drilled along the deposit’s south border intersected high grade mineralization outside the open pit limits as outlined in the recently published Feasibility Study, intersecting 122.7 feet (37.4 meters) true thickness grading 3.96% copper, 0.384 grams/tonne gold, and 14.2 grams/tonne silver.

Nevada Copper, Vice President, Gregory French, stated:

The North Deposit continues to produce exciting drilling results. Drill holes along the south and north boundaries continue to intersect mineralization just outside the open pit limits as included in the Feasibility Study. While NC12-03 was drilled as a step-out hole, the unexpectedly thick zone of high grade mineralization, of approximately 4% copper, was well beyond our expectations. Follow up drilling to delineate this new zone of new mineralization is currently in progress. These high grade intersections and previous drill results, at the southern boundaries of the North deposit open pit limits suggest that the North and South pits will eventually merge.
