Nuinsco Schedules diamond drilling program for Berta copper-gold project upon receipt of positive geochemical results

TORONTO, June 21 /CNW/ - Nuinsco Resources (NWI:TSX) announces today the
scheduling of a diamond drilling program, to begin early in the third quarter,
at its Berta copper-gold project. The property has displayed positive soil and
rock sampling anomalies during the 2003 through 2005 exploration programs. The
recently completed 2005 geochemical sampling program has better defined the
property's high potential areas. The upcoming diamond drill program will
target the identified geochemical anomalies. The property is under option from
Noranda Inc. and is located in the Artvin area of northeastern Turkey. Nuinsco
has committed to US$300,000 in expenditures on the property in 2005.
The receipt of continued promising geochemical results from the Berta
copper-gold project only serves to strengthen Nuinsco's property portfolio.
Previous soil sampling programs have identified broad domains to the north,
centre and south of the Berta alteration system as being significantly
anomalous in copper and gold. The system covers a 15 km2 area, entirely
encompassed by the 59.5 km2 project licences. 967 soil samples have been
collected to date, and the recently completed 2005 sampling program,
consisting of 246 samples, confirmed previous findings. The 2005 program
provided additional support where copper ranging from 7ppm to 4620ppm and gold
ranging from 4ppb to 4770ppb was obtained. Considered of great importance are
the 204 rock samples collected on the project so far, which produce anomalies
coincident with the soil results and thus provide additional support for
diamond drill targets. The north, east and south of the system will become a
focus for additional work and diamond drilling based upon the sample results.
The Berta Project, approximately 50 km south of the Black Sea coast in
northeastern Turkey, lies within the prolifically mineralized Pontide
Mountains metallogenetic belt. The licences encompass a large domain of
extensively altered and sulphide mineralized dacite volcanic and intrusive
rocks occurring in rugged terrain displaying approximately 1,500 m of vertical
relief. Extensive rusty exposures are common, formed from oxidation of
sulphides at surface. The total volume of rock affected by the alteration and
mineralisation within the Berta system is considerable, with mineralized
exposures observed over 1,000 m of vertical elevation.
Noranda is acting as the operator of the project and conducted the work
reported. The program is being supervised for Nuinsco by Paul Jones, V.P.
Exploration, who under Nation Instrument 43-101 is Nuinsco's Qualified Person.
All samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex, Vancouver with sample preparation
done at Izmir, Turkey.
