[{"type":"text","content":"Novo Resources Provides Update of Activities in the Pilbara, Western Australia(via Thenewswire.ca)\n\n \nVANCOUVER, BC / TNW-ACCESSWIRE / July 8, 2014 / Novo Resources Corp. (CSE: NVO; OTCQX: NSRPF) (\"Novo\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update of exploration activities on its Pilbara gold project, Western Australia. \n\n\n \nSummary:\n\n\n \n\n\n-.bulk leach extractable gold (\"BLEG\") sampling has resumed and is expected to be completed by the end of July. All results are expected back on or about the end of August. \n\n\n\n-.a gold deportment study of conglomerates from Beatons Creek indicates most gold is coarse (>150 microns) and free of other minerals suggesting a significant amount of gold could potentially be recovered by conventional gravity techniques. This study also indicates that a much larger drill sample size is needed for a better representation of coarse gold and that gold analysis is best suited by screen metallic fire assaying. \n\n\n\n-.further drilling at Beatons Creek and Marble Bar is planned to commence in August pending permits. \n\n\n\n\n \nBLEG Sampling\n\n\n \nOn March 19, 2014 (refer to news release), Novo announced that it would undertake a BLEG sampling program with Newmont Exploration Pty Ltd (\"Newmont\") using Newmont's proprietary BLEG technique. All of the Company's Pilbara tenements are being sampled. BLEG samples are a type of stream sediment sample that displays high sensitivity allowing for rapid screening of large tracts of land for the presence of outcropping gold mineralization. This program is designed to help quickly identify new potential gold targets. \n\n\n \nSampling of the Company's tenements located in the eastern half of the Pilbara region was completed in late May. Certain cattle stations in the central and west Pilbara requested that Novo's helicopter supported sampling be delayed until July 3 in order for them to complete their cattle mustering season without disruption. Sampling has now resumed and is expected to be completed by the end of July. Data from the entire BLEG program will be released once all results have been received by Novo, expected on or about the end of August. \n\n\n \nDeportment Study of Gold from Beatons Creek Conglomerates\n\n\n \nIn order to better understand the nature of gold in conglomerates from Beatons Creek, Novo submitted two...
