Nuinsco Resources Limited ("Nuinsco" or "the Company") (TSX:NWI
- News), (www.nuinsco.ca)
today announced the completion of additional field work at the Bukari gold concession in Egypt's Eastern Desert. The
most recent program indicates that the strike length of the Bukari 1 vein system is considerably longer than
previously thought, and also identified a previously unknown vein system
which is interpreted to have a potential strike length of up to 5 kilometres based on satellite imagery.
The Bukari 1
vein system, determined in Nuinsco's earlier
program to be gold bearing (see news release dated September 29, 2010) and to
have a strike length of one kilometre, has now been
traced for over 2.5 kilometres along strike as a
series of veins striking 170 degrees and dipping sub-vertically that,
combined, comprise a zone up to 500 m thick. The Bukari
1 vein system is just one of 13 known named gold occurrences and sites of
past production (Pharaonic and Roman periods). The
previously unknown vein system identified by Nuinsco
in the most recent site visit occurs just north of the Bukari
1 occurrence as it is currently known, strikes 210 degrees and dips
sub-vertically.
"The work we have completed to date
demonstrates that the Bukari occurrence has
significant dimensions and is a high-quality exploration target with known
gold endowment," said Paul Jones, President. "The Eastern Desert is
one of the world's least explored and most geologically attractive gold
domains. Our presence in Egypt gives Nuinsco a
solid platform to add projects to our Bukari and
Umm Samra concessions that could form the basis for
a significant standalone exploration company focused on this region."
The field work undertaken in this most
recent program supplements the results of initial field examinations
conducted in October during which mechanical and hand excavation of several
known gold occurrences was followed by prospecting and reconnaissance
mapping. The work to date is designed to characterize the gold mineralization
and assist in the preparation of a systematic and comprehensive exploration
program of mapping, channel sampling, geophysical surveys and drilling once
full tenure is granted.
The Bukari
Showing comprises a network of gold-bearing quartz +/- calcite +/- barite +/-
limonite veins in a system of shear zones hosted in Precambrian age granodiorite rock. The veins and adjacent host rocks at
the Bukari showing are oxidized. The granitoid host rocks adjacent to the veins are strongly
weathered, soft, friable, bleached, and locally
display evidence of sulphide mineralization. In
several areas, deep pits and adits have been
discovered dating from Pharaonic and/or Roman
mining periods. In one instance visible gold was identified in a dump of vein
rock adjacent to historical mine workings.
Nuinsco recently announced the signing of a
concession agreement covering Bukari (see news
release dated September 9, 2010) which, along with the Umm Samra gold concession, was granted during Egypt's 2009
International Bid Round administered by the Egyptian Mineral Resources
Authority.
Bukari (1,480 Km2)and Umm Samra
(790 Km2)are located about 50 kilometres northwest
of Centamin Egypt Limited's ("Centamin") flagship multi-million ounce Sukari Gold Mine which is projected to produce
160,000-170,000 ounces of gold in 2010 and is being expanded to increase
production to about 500,000 oz per year over the next three years. The
concessions are easily accessible by paved highway. Nuinsco
operates in Egypt through its subsidiary Z-Gold Resources Limited.
All exploration work is supervised by
Paul Jones, President, who acts as QP under National Instrument 43-101 and
has reviewed and approved the contents of this news release.
