(\"Nexus\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: NXS, OTC: NXXGF, FSE: N6E) is pleased to report it has received geochemical results from Actlabs Burkina Faso SARL, an ISO 9001:2008 certified independent lab, from its initial sampling program at the Bouboulou gold concession, Burkina Faso, West Africa. \n\n\n \nThe sampling program targeted new areas of interest at the Koala zone, and west of the Rawema zone, in preparation of the upcoming Bouboulou phase one diamond drill program set to commence later this month. \n\n\n \nHighlights of the program include high-grade quartz sample BBL-012, which contained visible gold, taken from an artisanal shaft (or orpaillage pit) 70 metres below surface at the Koala zone, that returned 66.1 grams-per-tonne (\"g/t\") gold (\"Au\"). Sample BBL-013 (quartz material containing pyrite), also taken from an artisanal shaft at approximately 70 metres below surface, returned a value of 29 g/t Au. \n\n\n \n\"We are very pleased with the continued work our senior geologist, Warren Robb, and his crew are performing on the ground,\" said president & CEO, Peter Berdusco. \"They've opened up Niangouela with the discovery of additional zones, and as we wait for the results of the second phase drill program there, they've already expanded our mineralized area at Bouboulou with the results of the sampling program and the identification of Rawema West.\"\n\n\n \nNew Zone Identified - Rawema West\n\n\n \nOver the past four months and in preparation for its upcoming drill program, the company geologists have been performing reconnaissance at the Bouboulou gold concession. The Company has now determined the presence of a new mineralized zone through the observance of increased artisanal activity, and the result of rock sampling taken from the newly observed area. \n\n\n \nThe new zone, termed \"Rawema West\", occurs approximately 1000 metres west of the main workings at the previously identified Rawema site. The Artisanal workings extend some 150 metres in length and appear by observation to extend to depths of greater than 20 metres. This fifth zone adds to the four previously identified zones (Rawema, Bouboulo...
