[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n- Near surface high grade Cu in their 2007 drill program.\n- Significant geophysical targets delineated to be drill tested in\n 2008.\n- Follow up drilling planned to start April 2008.\n\n\nTSX.V: ELN\n\n\nOTCBB: ELNOF\n\n\nFrankfurt: E7Q\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Feb. 1 /CNW/ - El Nino Ventures Inc. ("El Nino") (TSX.V: ELN;\nOTCBB: ELNOF; Frankfurt: E7Q) is very pleased to announce initial analytical\ndrill results from the recently completed 6200m reverse circulation drill\nprogram on its 70% owned Research Permit 5217 in the DRC Congo. Analyses were\ncarried out by ALS CHEMEX, Johannesburg, S.A. Quality control procedures were\nstrictly adhered to and included taking drill chip samples directly from the\ndrill return by the project geologist, placing them in sealed bags and sending\nthem directly to ALS Chemex in Johannesburg by air freight, who carried out\nthe preparation and analysis.\n\n\nEl Nino currently holds a 70% interest in four well located Research\nPermits, accessible by road from the town of Lubumbashi in southern Congo.\nEach Permit is partially underlain by the highly prospective Roan Formation\nwhich hosts most of the important copper deposits in this area. The\naccompanying map shows the general location of the licences, as well as the\nlocation of the known principal targets delineated on permit 5217 and the\nfocus of the drilling to date.\n\n\nTo view map click here:\n\n\nhttp://www.elninoventures.com/s/NewsReleases.asp?ReportID(equal sign)284195\n\n\nThe Company has now received analytical results from three drill holes\nANCU001, ANCU003, and ANCU004. (Values for ANCU002 are pending) completed\nduring the 2007 drill campaign. Each of the three holes reported were drilled\nto a depth of 150m and inclined at -60 degrees.\n\n\nThese results are the first received from the 2007 drill program which\ntargeted a copper anomaly, artisanal workings and remote sensing anomalies on\nPermit 5217. The results published in this release specifically relate to\ndrilling on the copper showing and results relating to drilling on the other\ntargets will be reported when received. Significant copper intercepts in the\nthree holes reported are as follows.\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n Average\nHole From To Width CU% grade\n---------------------------------------------...
