[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nRC13-221 intersects 124 meters grading 1.23% copper in five intervals\n\n\nDrilling demonstrates continuity and resource expansion of a\n near-surface, potentially open-pittable copper resource at the Ruby\n Creek zone\n\n\n\n\n\nTSX, NYSE-MKT \nSymbol: NCQ\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Oct. 22, 2013 /CNW/ - NovaCopper Inc. (TSX, NYSE-MKT: NCQ) (\"NovaCopper\" or \"the Company\") is pleased to\n announce additional assay results from exploration diamond drilling at\n its Bornite Project, which is part of the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects\n (\"UKMP\") located in the Ambler mining district of Northwest Alaska.\n\n\nThis is the second set of drilling results, comprising 10 holes out of a\n total of 17, which total approximately 8,140 meters drilled during the\n 2013 exploration program at Bornite.  Remaining drill results are\n anticipated to be released over the next several weeks as they become\n available.  The 2013 drilling campaign was designed to expand\n mineralization on two discrete targets: 1) near-surface, moderate-grade\n (~1% copper) and potentially open-pit mineable mineralization at the\n Ruby Creek zone; and 2) deeper, high-grade and potentially underground\n exploitable copper mineralization at both the South Reef and Ruby Creek\n zones.\n\n\nNine out of ten drill holes intersected significant intervals of copper\n mineralization:\n\n\nAt a cutoff grade of 0.5% copper selected results are as follows: \n\n\n\nRC13-221 intersected five mineralized intervals, starting at 138.9\n meters and ending at 367.7 meters (228.8 meter interval), for a\n combined 123.8 meter composite interval with a weighted average grade\n of 1.23% copper and comprised of:\n\n\n\n10.0 meters at a grade of 0.85% copper;\n\n\n12.5 meters at a grade of 0.98% copper;\n\n\n25.8 meters at a grade of 1.18% copper;\n\n\n16.8 meters at a grade of 1.13% copper; and\n\n\n58.8 meters at a grade of 1.39% copper.\n\n\n\nRC13-219 intersected one mineralized interval, starting at 425.9 meters\n and ending at 468.5 meters for a 42.5 meter composite interval with a\n weighted average grade of 1.44% copper.\n\n\nRC13-218 intersected three mineralized intervals, starting at 29.5\n meters and ending at 340.2 meters (310.7 meter interval), for a\n combined  73.8 meter composite interval with a weighted average grade\n of 1.20% copper and comprised of:\n\n\n\n...
