("El Nino") (TSX.V: ELN;\nOTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q) is pleased to announce that based on the\npreliminary report of a remote sensing survey conducted by Hamilton Hycroft\nEnergy Inc (HHE), four copper mineralized anomalous zones have been identified\non its newly acquired research permits in the Democratic Republic of Congo\n(DRC). For this survey, HHE applied the Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS)\ntechnology using hyperspectral images which can recognize and map particular\ntypes of vegetation or diagnose minerals associated with ore deposits.\n\n\nAccording to this survey the four copper mineralized anomalous zones\nidentified are of the following size:\n\n\n- Zone 1 covers an area of 3.2 km by 2.28 km.\n- Zone 2 covers an area of 4.1 km by 1.14 km.\n- Zone 3 covers an area of 1.1 km by 1.1 km.\n- Zone 4 covers an area of 2.28 km by 0.68 km.\n\n\nThe center of Zone 1 is exactly coincident with known and confirmed\ncopper artisanal workings. All four areas confirm the geological\ninterpretation of the area by the company.\n\n\nJean Luc Roy, President of El Nino stated: "These preliminary results are\nvery encouraging in our quest of exploring and ultimately putting together a\ncopper mining operation in the DRC. The fact that these results coincide\nperfectly with known copper artisanal workings is a strong indicator of the\nbenefits, in using this method in our exploration efforts."\n\n\nThe remote sensing survey will be followed up by an airborne geophysical\nsurvey and a ground prospecting program to be conducted in the next few weeks\nfollowed by a drilling campaign of the best copper occurrences.\n\n\nBenoit Violette, PGeo consulting geologist and a qualified person under\nNational Instrument 43-101, has reviewed this press releas...
